Jacob’s Ladder 7th March 2010

Taken a while but first big ride of 2010, thought we’d try something different, simple little 18 mile ride around the peaks! Apart from the Hills, loose tracks, mud, falls and snow (yes lots of it on the top of the hills) the ride was great, think it’s one for the end of summer after a long hot dry spell.

The snow was fun to ride on as long as it was flat or downhill, uphill it was impossible as was the mud, spent a great deal of the climbs pushing.

Oddest thing about the ride was the freezing of the bikes towards the end of the ride, never had this happen before, but we couldn’t adjust our seats and I was stuck in crawling 3 gear for the last 5 to 6 miles.

Pic’s Vid’s and map to follow shortly

I thought it would take weeks but it has arrived. The adaptor to bleed my Hayes El Camino brakes. So now I just need to find time to bleed them. Hope I can find the rest of bleed kit.

Emailed Hayes About My El Camino

Emailed Hayes today asking were I could get a fitting for my hayes el camino brakes. The website says it could take a week for a reply. I am guessing the fitting will fit on they standard bleed kit. I did ask if tho Pro bleed kit comes with the fitting.

So does anyone know were I can get one of these fittings? Because I can not find one.
