Well done. Glad the tyre held.

[@andymomomo]

Me too, but I'm shocked it did 😂 next year I think I'll take spare tyres

[@Ecoroof1986]

@andymomomo My wife and I did the race on 47mm tyres. Punctures and mechanicals were the big worry. There were no punctures on the route, but we both noticed punctures on the back tyres when we got back to the campsite. The rain must have dissolved the sealant.They were still fully inflated on the Sunday though.I had an issue with my rear cassette disengaging. Did it after the 1st decent. Had no idea what it was and it's never happened before. I kicked it out of frustration and it worked. It did the same thing about 10 times but a kick with the heal of my foot while riding did the trick. All fixed now.

[@andymomomo]

That doesn't sound ideal! Do you mean that the cassette had no drive when you turned the pedals? The freehub maybe needs a clean and re grease the pawls maybe are bogged down

[@Ecoroof1986]

@@andymomomo yes that's exactly what it was. All sorted now

Hey lad. Found myself on this video thanks. It was mega. I’ll be back next year and Ruthin later this year. Cramp ruined me sick and attritional day.

[@andymomomo]

Oh man I was lucky enough not to cramp during the race, only when sitting on the grass in the event village and couldn't get back up 🤣

[@xandershawvlog]

@@andymomomo ha, oh I had that too at one point no angle helped as I stretched one and another side started. ;) I tried to find you on Strava but couldn’t.

Great video great event !! What time did you complete it in ?

[@andymomomo]

Thanks buddy, I completed it in 4hrs 40mins, I think I was 728th position overall so I finished inside top 50% which I'm chuffed about 😀 feels like a good starting point to work from
