In the mendips 2025 with his young trendy friends. This day, 5 bikes, we had ti, carbon, steel and aluminium frames, 26 27five, 29er, full sus&ht. Nearly everything🤣

What size chainrings? And what's wrong with the current one? Front derailleurs often seize from the filth chucked off the road, but will free up with attention.😃 Grooves worn from constant chain rub is a different matter. ☹
