I tried those cheap brakes on the bike today, mostly fine, but they overheated on a very long, supersteep descent.
Only got 160mm rotors, so cant complain really.

You were more than lucky! Next time buy a lottery ticket in the last town you fly through, and then tell us later how much you've won! You might find that you've hit the jackpot !put the bike away and had my shower and looked out to see the rain pouring down, I sure got lucky!
I might be lucky on the bike but lotteries are a different matter, maybe thats why they are called lotteries... My bike just loves speed, it was made for it and is super stable so I never feel out of control on it! It puts a smile on my face every ride!Still pouring here also and it won't stop until Thursday, maybe a little sun between the rain if we are lucky!You were more than lucky!

As always, gorgeous photos. Instantly reminded me of my ride yesterday. Scenic no matter which way you turn. But it's your speed downhill that has me in awe. I am NOT that brave!
Wonderful that you had a day for relaxed riding. And with a new helmet as well!Sunday was a long and pleasant day spent riding with friends in Warsaw with warm & beautiful weather! A small report may come
Still raining here, too, but tomorrow afternoon is expected to be sunny. I'll be out with my Giant and it's trash trailer cleaning up any road litter from the short route that will be used this coming Saturday. Tuesday I'll add and clean the miles for the longer route. Wednesday and Thursday will be doing the sections of the 70 mile route that I hadn't covered previously. I plan to be on my bike everyday this week, doing my civic duty.Still pouring here also and it won't stop until Thursday, maybe a little sun between the rain if we are lucky
We still experience gorgeous Summer here. Yes it rained a little today. Except some days, there is a rare time of very calm winds now... (Jealous?)The weather was a bit cooler as of late, around 18oC ( 64oC). However, the wind was very strong, blowing at 24 mph (38 kph) and gusting at 44 mph (70.4 kph).
They’ve become so prevalent around here which is one of the reasons why I avoid riding the MUPs. I’ve seen them thrown in creek beds and even along some of the local trails that I ride. I realize that these rental scooters have been deemed an environmentally friendly and convenient way of getting around particularly for those without vehicles or bikes but it’s almost reached a point where they have become an unsightly menace. Thankfully, we only have to deal with this issue during the summer months. That being said, I think that privately owned e-scooters certainly have their place due in part that they are owner operated though most who I’ve seen riding never think twice about wearing a helmet and the potential consequences of their decisions.I have noticed recently that there is a blight in Milton Keynes. In that, these e-scooters and e-bikes you can rent are just dumped all over the place.
Same here albeit somewhat chillier on some mornings so waiting a few hours for it to warm up is a small sacrifice to pay. Rain is in the forecast tomorrow but the remainder of the week looks promising. Wind, on the other hand, has been brutal and to make matters worse it can shift during mid ride. Not much one can do but tuck and keep the cadence up. The Missus and I will often take turns drafting which helps significantly.We still experience gorgeous Summer here. Yes it rained a little today.
