    Was having a great ride and then the puncher gods got me good. A rear puncher 12 miles from home covered my bike in sealant, even with a tubeless plug it wouldn’t stay sealed had to get the misses to rescue me.

    Finally decided to put new sealant in the tyres and get off the turbo and get back outside, done a couple of hour circuits the last two days and it’s amazing to be back out on the road. The Ali express saddle is still holding up strong and also dropping down to a 160mm crankset I feel more...

    I got a pair of dmt kr3 the shoe feels great on the foot, it took a little while to get used to one boa dial for securing. They felt great trying on but after a couple hour ride they do start to feel a little snug on the side of the foot.
