Fun 50 km ride, capped the night at El chupacabra.
Bike update
Installed Shimano XT BR-M785 brakes on Commencal el camino. Been running ol' reliable Shimano single piston Non series hydro's BR-M486 for around a year. Got them cheap from fellow Siglo member and now the time to step-up to something significantly better.
 |
| Dual piston, Ice tech rotors standard |
Welgo platform pedals mentioned above now in mountain bike heaven along with box full of parts that Hamster destroyed. Pedals served me well for 3 years through epic rides, races, countless crashes and every crap in between rest well friend you have served me well.
 |
| Well...duh |
Potential replacement criteria:
- wide platform
- longer, replaceable pins
- reasonable weight
Candidates are:
Spank Spike or oozy trail pedals
 |
| Most expensive of the bunch |
Shimano Saint pedal
 |
| Favorite for durability, with only the weight as a penalty |
Nuke proof electron, neutron pedals
 |
| Nylon pedals, reasonable price, great reviews |
 |
| Couple of hundred pesos cheaper than the SPANK, great reviews |
Xpedo Spry
 |
| Middle price range of the bunch, wide but thin platform |
For the mean time temporarily transferred Beater SS VP commuter pedals to the camino.
