So the BMX has just been fitted with a new set of knobbly tyres which should hopefully go someway to making the 55 km of technical off road riding on a single speed BMX a little easier. I had, until this point, the same tyres on the bike that rode all the way from CT to Joburg with me – those bad boys are slicker than ever; I have been getting punctures on almost every ride lately and I just want to send out so many kinds of gratitude to BMX Direct for hooking me up. They have also supplied a new set of slicks for the 95 km road ride I will be doing on the 17th of November!

I also need to chuck out a massive thank you to Kevin from Cycle Fusion who just serviced the bike for me…guess I have no more excuses – the bike is riding like a dream, new tyres and all shiny, it’s only me that can now screw this up!  It’s going to be fine! eeeeeeeeeeek.

I am getting fit and making sure that I am strong enough to complete the grueling 1500km but if a bike part were to fail and that ended up being the reason the One Gear dream was not realised it would be very sad. BMX direct to the rescue! The guys at BMX direct will be supplying us with a brand new 2013 bike with all the necessary parts that may ‘fail’ along the way; spare tyres, tubes, patch kit, chain, grips, brake cable, pedals…They are also on call 24/7 if we require any technical assistance. Amazing stuff!

Check out the Bike (and yes we will be raising the seat!):
