Looks beautiful! Been looking at these mudguards for my vintage Bridgestone mountain bike build. May I ask, what tyre are you running, and also what camera are you using to film this? Great cinematography
@tadwenture19 күн бұрын
Hey thanks for the kind words. Wen is running 40mm on this bike and with this 45mm Honjo mudguard it was definitely a push. The wider >45mm options would have been a better option but they were hammered and Wen wasn't keen about the busy look, so we had to stick with the 45mm one. She gets occasional rubbing noise when during bumpy off road riding, otherwise it works quietly most of the time during commute and touring thus far. I have been filming on my Fujifilm X-T2 camera, pretty old camera and is giving up lately. I will have to retire it at some point and consider an upgrade.

Hi! I know it's been a while since you did this, but was the push/hike up and down to Chapmans Pool ok?
@tadwentureАй бұрын
Hiya, the last bit (200m+) was indeed a very steep with big boulders and I remembered just parking my bike by the abandoned small house before the descent. Might be able to pull it off on a hike-a-bike with a good set of brakes, fatter tyres and lighter load if you wanna stay down there for a little longer. I do know Cyclery Woods Sunday cycle group visits Chapmans Pool often on their dreamy 2-wheel steeds. I can imagine hard core mountain bikers would have had a good time on that last descent. ;)

I did this route this weeknd! The ride from Ashford to Folkstone was in fairly heavy traffic which was not so nice but the rest was fairly car free. I stead at Little Swiss Campsite Folkstone & next morning cycled to Dover Cliffs, Deal, Canturbury & planned to get the train back but there were no trains due to Engineering works so I had to cycle to Ashford. Did 96 Km on 2nd day. My Apple Phone nearly died with an hour of cycling left so to save battery, I used it as a hotspot for my Android phone as I was relying on Google Maps for navigation. Do you use any cycling apps for navigation?
@tadwentureАй бұрын
Oh gosh, the last unplanned trip back to Ashford must be a leg stretch! I have always been using Google maps for navigation as they tend to suggest national cycle routes for the journey instead of the A roads. I know many riders has cycle computers but I don't think I'm at at level yet. Google maps serves me well and I get a better overview of my travel. Strava recording is nice to have a look at route in the end but does suck up some battery. I tend to just leave the GPS on and switch off my data etc.
@kitsilanomusician2669Ай бұрын
@@tadwenture Actually the leg from Canturbury to Ashford was really peaceful and scenic. Lots of nature. I'm thinking of doing this route again soon and improving on it. Now just to schedule it around work. What do you work as? Does it allow you much free time to explore? Cheers!
@tadwentureАй бұрын
@@kitsilanomusician2669 Back then I was working as an Engineer, and just so happened the weather was warm on a weekend hence the impromptu trip down south for 24 hrs. As the daylight is longer at this time of the year, this last minute plan sort of works. I'm now working as a bike courier in Bristol, which I struggle to find the time and physical strength to do trips like this anymore. Still possible but maybe less distance.

Beautifully shot and edited. I ride around Cambridge. Is this route out towards Ely/Waterbeach?
@tadwenture2 ай бұрын
Hey Alex...yes if you keep following the Canal route to Waterbeach, you'll come across the canal lock gate, and you can continue the short off road on the opposite and (turn right then left) after that instead of turning left towards Horningsea. The rest is free for you to explore! 🙌

Yea, it was incredibly tight that the high pitch rub became prominent and frequent in the first place. I had to tweak/deform it over the first couple of months and finally settled down in peace. Not ideal to go through muddy cake terrain too. Otherwise, it has served Wen well on many wet days! ☺

Nice Wenture! So the route was Ashford - Folkestone - Dover - Deal & Canterbury!? Do you advise this or have any adjustments?
@tadwenture2 ай бұрын
Thanks, bud. For a 24 hrs overnight stay - yes I reckon the route is achievable. I started by journey late afternoon. If you began earlier during the day, I reckon you can venture deeper into Kent Downs before heading towards south. There are plenty of farm and forest to bivvy in the downs. Or if you are brave enough, bivvy by the cliff and wake up to sun rise! I recommend cycling via North Down Wye cycle path towards Dover. The last bit along the top of the cliff is beautiful.

@@CRsVideoVaults Heya, sorry I had missed your reply on this. I had a look at your route, I don't remember cycling along the A-road in the beginning but more towards inland. I dragged the the first quarter towards the inland which I think is less stressful and more peaceful. Otherwise, the rest of the route looks good!

No worries man, there are tutorial videos out there that you can refer to for each part assembling, so it is worth giving it a go! 😊 Just need a little patience to do the research and sourcing some tools for the job. If things don't align, there are always room for tweaking, but come with patience I guess...I made many mistakes with this build too which caused me time, but I learnt a life long lesson!
