No, you didn't give it...you have just lulled it into a false sense of security...no doubt you'll sneak up and surprise it! ;-)
Yes, I do tell myself that sort of mince whilst out on my bike...been utterly scunnered over last 5 months as been working pretty much flat out...any time out on the bike has killed me so my 20-miler MTB ride has ended up being a 4 or 5 miler and I've suffered all the way on it! Need to get it sorted!
Saying that, I've just rebuilt my Pace and put 2x10 gearing on it - plan is to use it mainly to get to work but I've already noticed that the 26-38 front is too small...I'm trying to find a 40 or ideally a 42...
