Grinduro Wales 2023. What a savage grand day out!
Рет қаралды 4,587
Жыл бұрын2000m metres of climbing in less than 70km was spicy but fun. Epic route, good bants, the usual broken bike dramas and I actually did alright, hurrah! Was lovely to see so many wonderful friends along the way
Thanks for coming along for the ride :)

Well done Amy excellent video, really pleased you had a great time. Not on at an event mechanics refusing to do their job, could at least have a look and advise you what they think is wrong, even if they just say sorry we haven't got any parts to fix it. Enjoy your week Amy

Thank you Terry 😊 When I pulled the shifter it wasn’t responding at all, it needed an adjustment on the derailleur, nothing to do with the chain. So unnecessarily rude but I heard more stories about this after so will try and not take it personally.

He repaired my son’s bike and fitted a new cassette, new chain, new shifter cables, new rear brake disk for free, all whilst chatting to him and couldn’t have been more helpful. So everyone’s experiences with this mechanic are not the same.

@@peterjones2605 that's nice to know Peter as I received feedback from a number of others who were spoken to similarly to me where they refused to touch their bikes for other relatively petty reasons such as they had chosen a KMC chain with their Shimano. Shame they couldn't just treat everyone positively really. Thank you for commenting :)
@micks61 Жыл бұрын
It's a shame that a mechanic in need of some manners was sent to cover such a fun/good spirited occasion. Some people eh? Otherwise, what a fantastic event - Epic scenery and an all round good vibe (grumpy mechanic excepted!). Glad you pressed on with the afternoon ride and finished on a high - great stuff!
