So, my left crank is again tighten as it must be.. BUT the marks of the rough terrain are still there.... and also I found in the workshop another rare Bike model... IDK.. it looked uncomfortable to use on the streets in poor condition as is common where I live..... 🤷‍♂️🚲

and here, more improvements from <<this/to that>>... in two of my bikes, the first row; the reinforced potency in my hybrid classic bike to resist the dirt road, in the second row; the rear derailleur and the mega range sprocket in my mtb... 😃👌🚲 🚴‍♂️

ya quedo puesto el nuevo desviador y piñon en mi *mula híbrida yucateca* para seguir dándole a las subidas en la loma.. sí que se siente la diferencia, sólo falta hacer lo mismo con mi mtb y a seguir haciendo pierna y pulmón... 😀🚲 ⛰️

Hermosura de piñones mega range 🤩, tal vez muchos ya los consideren obsoletos pero a mi me gustan por su sencillez y por económicos.. ya me los quiero estrenar en dos de mis bicis.. 🚲⚙️🚴🏻‍♂️

this simple folding mechanism of my basic mtb has endured more than I expected. in fact it's not for extreme jumps or acrobatics but at least, it has not been bad for my rides on the hills... 🚲🚵‍♂️

The last few days I had to do a few repairs to my road bike: swap the front tire, the chain, and the cassette. As I cycle a lot I try to make parts last, and use cheaper, heavier parts, e.g., I use SRAM 1031 chains which I bought in bulk, much cheaper than, e.g., an SRAM 1051 chain.

Today I decided to try the Chinese ZTTO cassette which arrived in the mail yesterday: it works nicely, just like an SRAM or Shimano cassette that costs 2-3 times as much.

it's the first time that during my ride, the left crank of my mtb came off and I was left without the nut where it's tightened, so I came back like turtle trying to pedal with extreme care... I didn't know exactly why, but lately some parts have been loosening up just to go through rough terrain, when they're supposed to have to endure more.... 😮‍💨 😕

Back to clip-in pedals
After 12 years exclusively riding flats I'm back to clip-in pedals - at least of my gravel bike. I've used the Pedaling Innovations Catalyst 1 pedals since March 2019. I even bought two pairs back then, but I only purchased one rebuild kit with them through a retailer in the UK, but I used that for the pedals on my MTB. Since then Brexit happened and with the tariffs on US products the rebuild kit costs more than double of what it used to.
A good time to look for alternatives for my worn Catalysts. Enter Shimano's PD-ME700. I shortly considered Hopes Union TC, but as I am not sure I'm will stick with clip-in pedals I chose the more affordable option for now. I prefer the little bit of extra platform, even though the main power transmission is thought the cleats. Also that cage will hopefully provide enough support for a quick ride to the bakery on the weekends with "normal" shoes.
The pedals are complemented by the Northwave Escape Evo 2 shoes. Basically the cheapest pair I could find in my size. They are noticeably stiffer than shoes for flats and the sole doesn't provide too much traction of smooth supermarket floors, but is grippy enough anywhere else.
I'm still figuring out the best cleats position, but the old instincts of clipping out when stopping were back immediately.

interesting new hybrid disc brake solution that is reminiscent of the early hybrid road disc brake systems by Hope, Giant and others before shimano and sram produced their first hydro integrated levers.
