Cycling to any body of water is a surefire way to put me in a good mood. I rode to a nearby covered bridge over a river for the eclipse the other day, even before the once-in-a-lifetime celestial event I was just having the best day.
These trees look old.
Awesome break spot.
I’m sorry for your brakes though. C-star was a travesty. Trek + pandemic supply chains = the worst hydraulic brakes I’ve ever seen. Rush, Radius, Power… they’re all C-Star, and they’re all shit. Most warranties I’ve ever done on a line of components.
However Axiom was a good choice for your trunk bag and p35(?) panniers. Great warranty terms, high quality, reasonable price.
If you like your Trek FX and want to upgrade the brakes, I’d personally suggest Avid BB7s.
I haven’t had much trouble with the brakes (they are rush, had to bleed them once).
My panniers are Arkel Kargo.
Currently don’t have the money to get new brakes. Just replaced the chain today as it was a smidgeon over 3k.
