Who has a kickstand?

What type, make?

Does it rattle on bumpy roads?

Anyone tried a kickstand and regretted it?

Hello all

I'm looking to contact Nathaniel Goto who was in my class at Harare Polytech in 1982 83 and 84. Should be in his early 60s like me.

Can't find him on Facebook.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows him to let me know

​

So I'm afraid I abandoned the 600km ride after 270km.

I saw 37° at the hottest and it was unrelenting into wind and nonstop hills, many at 7, 8, 9 or 10%. I was tired and sore, my knee was puffy and I just wasn't motivated to suffer a second day of it.

I'm 64, still pushing out 4 jour marathons, 200km rides are fine.

I may have to accept that I've reached the limit of what my body and mind can tolerate.

Check out my ride on Strava: https://strava.app.link/3H1ShBTSX3b

My wheels are 700C. I used to fit 25mm tyres. I've just gone up to 32.

I used the same inner tubes when i fitted the 32 tyres.

Those tubes are 700C 25/28. All my spares are also this size.

Now I read that I risk punctures and faster air leak through the rubber.

I know inner tubes aren't expensive but it burns my arse that the 5 or 6 I have hanging about are no use.

What do you think, how real us the risk of 25/28 inners on 32 tyres?
