Hi alex i won't be doing the 600 you are due to different start and finishes. But i will be doing the pendle 600! Will update you once I've done it 😎

Good on you. That will be a tough one. 10,000 m of climbing. Great route. Should be very scenic. Enjoy the ride. Love to come with you but you know how it is. Work and family commitments blah blah blah. There's only so much I can get away with.

Just tell M that you're popping out on a ride with me . . .

Just got the cassette changed to an 11 to 34!!

Good thinking. Me too as it goes. Reindexed the gears this morning.

You'll have to show me how to do that.

Hey, alex, what do you need the low ratio cassette for? Is the 600 hilly as well?

Just under 5,00 meters. I had a 11/32 on it anyway. The chain and cassette were both worn out. Saw the the 11/34 and though why not. Those extra two teeth will make all the difference :) This video is a good reference for indexing your gears if you need to - https://youtu.be/Bbk5RcH0bbQ
