A2. As for the bike's motor falling apart, that's another kettle of donuts. Apart from crashes, I've abandoned a Lejog ride with saddle sores. And yesterday I had a sudden, strong pain in my knee when accelerating from a traffic light. Happy to say that was just 1km from home after a 100km ride, so I just concentrated on taking it easy the rest of the way (and half of that is downhill).

Knee seems OK today, but I'm taking it easy.

@bobjonkman @trouble @ascentale @PamelaSchure @bikenite I lowered my saddle more than 1cm not long after I got the touring bike (wow, seven years ago now), and that helped a lot. Haven't had pain while riding since then (as opposed to walking).

The knees and I, we have a history and I've had some very good care. Age and weight are factors here as well. I'm taking it easy and if the pain persists then I'll check with the professionals again.

@daihard @pete @ascentale I’ll vouch for GravelKings. My bike came with WTB slicks in 48mm, and they were fine. But at replacement time I wanted something a bit less hefty. I’ve been using GravelKings in 42mm, both slick and with small knobblies, and I’m sticking with them.

@smlx4 The animal in the second picture is a raccoon. In the fourth picture, a tanuki.
