second battery ordered for my @ternbicycles.bsky.social orox, be good to actually own the second battery rather borrowing the shop's one all the time!

my caadx is similar, does everything well, i actually don't have a proper road bike atm as i just adapt this to suit.
set up for a 100 mile charity bike in the picture.

i commuted in turbo..

the past week of bad weather has really proven how capable this machine really is!

@ternbicycles.bsky.social Orox in it's element today on a rare snowy day in the uk.

used the demo brompton g line to get me home tonight, didn't fancy getting a wet arse commuting on my mtb!
November 18, 2024 at 7:59 PM
think i can probably get on board with that, even do my shopping on one of my emtbs😉
November 17, 2024 at 7:13 PM
again filled with tools after returning from fixing a customer's cargo bike
November 16, 2024 at 9:25 PM
my tern orox filled with a bike and bike bits!
November 16, 2024 at 9:22 PM
got my coil shock fitted, forgotten how much they stick the back end to the floor!
November 15, 2024 at 12:30 PM
not quite the ride i was hoping for, bailing out early, head's not in the right place
November 14, 2024 at 12:02 PM
now i've finally sorted the punctures on my tern i can take my new forks into work and fit them on the jump bike!
look forward to trying it out
November 10, 2024 at 7:37 PM
nukeproof is getting a coil shock, make an already planted bike feel even more planted and stuck to the floor!
November 8, 2024 at 11:00 PM
clean and creak free!
November 5, 2024 at 9:16 PM
bike manufacturers, if you can't fit a component suitable for the job don't try to build to that budget. this is a dirt jump bike with a xc fork in it. i'd rather it had a rigid dj fork than this uncontrolled piece of landfill!
rant over, evening all!

4 of my collection, jones SWB, Tern orox, nukeproof megawatt and my most recent bergamont kiez dj bike

tonight's ride was great, cold, misty, dark and on some roads slightly terrifying!
October 31, 2024 at 10:50 PM
lovely chill 10 miler on the jones today, the temptation to sell my green LWB is growing atm, the SWB geo and handling characteristics seem to suit me a lot better.

mobile mechanic job was simple with few tools tonight so ended it with a quick xc loop on the tern.
