Tighten all bolts
It’s a good thing I got a flat.
While patching the rear tire I noticed a missing bolt on the rear shock triangle. Had to make a quick trip to the local bike shop to pick up a spare bolt along with a new patch kit. On today’s ride I kept looking down at the rear triangle, making sure the bolt stayed on, kind of paranoid at this point.
MTB: distance 13.60 miles, average speed 14.4 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
