After 31 years of sofa-surfing I finally decided that exercise might be a
good thing. I bought a Terrago Disc 06 and went straight in at the deep end
and have been doing a round trip of 30 miles a day for the last month in and
out of work on and around the Alban Way.
A stone and a half later with an immunity to nettle stings and dog sh*t
impregnated in the skin of my lower legs, I've got a couple of questions I
hope you can help me with!
1/ As 75% of my daily journey is on the flat or mild inclines, I rarely come
out of the 3 highest gears and am finding the highest gear is not high
enough - is there a way I can get the gears altered to provide more of a
challenge or do I have to buy a new set of gears?
2/ I have hydraulic disc brakes but they are howling when I brake too hard -
what needs doing to fix this as supposedly they don't need oiling.
Several more questions but not enough coffee yet to remember them - will
post as they occur to me - thanks in advance for any guidance
