I have done absolutely nothing this week as I have been ill and it has been crazy busy at work this week too!
I have not done more than 2000 steps a day this week and I am starting to feel it now 🙁
Not a great week to be sick as I have the reginal race at Bristol this weekend! Not great preparation but at least I will be well rested!
I did however get the bike setup with the new onyx hub back wheel that I bought last weekend so even though I am not ready the bike is!
Can’t wait to ride it tomorrow to see what a difference the onyx hub makes.
The Tubolito’s I bought last week arrived on Wednesday as well and I plan to fit them after gates on Saturday as I want to see the difference of just the Onyx hub compared to the Onyx hub and Tubolito makes.
I am expecting the Onyx hub to feel way better than the Profile elite hub as the profile elite hub had 2 blown out bearings so it hardly freewheeled any more but just spinning the onyx wheel on the bike stand you can see that it engages way faster than the profile elite wheel and spins for days off of half a crank!
The one thing that took a while to get used to last time was the lack of noise with the Onyx hub and coming from a Profile Elite hub that is LOUD, I am expecting the change to be really noticeable!
I am also expecting to notice a fair bit of change when I fit the Tubolito on Saturday afternoon as the front wheel felt way lighter when I put the Tubolito in it so I expect the bike to feel even better when I fit the rear one as well!
The bearings for the Profile Elite wheel arrived on Thursday too so I am going to swap them out and bring the wheel along as a spare just in case. I don.t expect the Onyx hub to have any issues as it is basically brand new after it was refurbished by Onyx before it was sold to me but its better to be safe than sorry!
I plan to do a pretty long training session tomorrow during gates to get the whole track dialled in as I struggled on every straight the other week so I need to work everywhere! The have sorted out the surface now so hopefully the track is running better than it was before as it was really hard going before!
