£1800 LeMond - 18000 miles. 10p per mile.

Naggers! You made it! :D
-
I'm not even going to post my one, as there will some years before I can beat that.
-
Not as high, but still satisfying :)

£1800 LeMond - 18000 miles. 10p per mile.
Are you saying in those 18000 miles the bike hasn't had any new parts fitted or even lubrication?

I was trying to gloss over that fact ;)
I've started another thread so as to keep this one from going off at a tangant...

Two more Odo pictures.
Both taken this morning.

19809 miles on the LeMond and 5050.8 miles on the Ridgeback
They don't look much on their own but added together equal 24859.8 miles which is the Meridional circumference of the World 8)

:thumbsup:
Time for a tea break then.

I was just happy to get to

Which was mostly commuting, with a smattering of FNRttC, Zombocalypse rides etc

A couple of wheel revolutions over 24901.5 miles. A proper Equatorial circumnavigation :thumbsup:
-
You bloody geeky stattos :thumbsup:
-
I'm going for 384403 km (238857 miles), the average distance of the Moon from the Earth (centre to centre). I reckon at my current commuting rate, I should be able to do it just before I'm 90. ;D
-
Just a week before the LeMond's 5th Birthday on Christmas Eve...
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/leggyd/LeMond20000a.jpg)
And still looking good as new

sweet, so how many chains is that ?
-
That is a lovely bike.

I think it is time I put my best ever ODO reading up again.

Saw this after updating my miles and thought of this thread immediately.
-
555.55 miles in 12 days snowy February days!!
I'm glad I gave up on cyclogs :-\

Join Bikejournal Naggers, you will not regret it ;D

Join Bikejournal Naggers, you will not regret it ;D
I think I would regret it. ;D
That new Enduro8 still reads 0.0 miles :-\
Not much fun to be had getting a new bike when you're suffering with a stinking cold and there's 4" of snow in your road >:(
Although I've managed more miles than the first 6 weeks of last year so I live in hope.
There's many satifying readings within range with a bit of effort this year 8)

Finally, from last Friday, another worthy update...
Twenty Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Two for the LeMond

These Cateyes turn themselves off, right? What happens if you need to change the battery? I would have thought that 20,000 miles was pushing it for a teeny little battery, no? Would be a shame to lose the figure.
-
Teeny little lithium batteries can last a number of years in a computer without a backlight.
With some Cateyes, you can enter an Odo setting after replacing the battery - so you can cheat!
-
Naggers' Cateye is the same as mine.
But what's that letter A in the swirly circle above the hundreds column? I don't recognise that.
-
"A" and "B" tyre sizes so you can quickly swap it between two bikes.

Reminds me of the time I stopped outside a restaurant to wait for a friend. A waiter or door-greeter or whatever they call these chaps wanders over to inspect my wonderous machine. He looks at my cheap Chinese odo which is set to trip distance, showing a modest and over-precise 27.589 km. "Wow!" He calls over to his colleagues. "Twenty seven thousand five hundred and eight nine km!" ;D

I just hit this on my commute home. It's not a terribly good shot, since it occurred in the middle of Tooting Bec common, late at night, where I didn't really want to stop, so I took the shot as fast as I could, and continued on my journey!
7000 miles was what I reckoned I'd do in a year, and I started using the Kaffenback about a year, and a month ago. The computer mount failed for a while, so until I replaced it, I did at least another 200 miles which hasn't been recorded, and I've also done some cycling on all the other bikes (although not a lot), so 7000 a year is probably about right.
-
This one amused me this morning. I just happened to look at it as I was locking the bike up at work, and noticed it was palindromic (if you ignore the decimal point).

That would have been better 1001 miles earlier...

I've got used to people looking at me strangely as I take photos of my handlebars in the middle of busy streets ;D

I completely missed 23456 Miles :(
But I know it happened when I was cycling from Aldgate to Acton to pick up some training certificates so I was getting paid to cycle while it happened and that makes me feel much better.
-
But onwards and upwards...
24000 Miles for the LeMond :)

I missed 12345, so will have to wait for 13579 - i bet i miss that aswell though.
Good work on the LeMond Naggers :thumbsup:

That is a very nice bike, Naggers. Love the mileage pics too, thanks!!
p.s. was having a bit of a test with a chap on a LeMond yesterday, although he didn't win any of them, not even the slight uphill sprints. :P
-
This photo is of the computer showing the maximum speed I had achieved that day.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Flossiesdoll/Random%20stuff/081.jpg)
I only had one magnet on the wheel, honest. But I do think the computer might be wrong.

Today at the end of my commute (it says 25001 now). Not bad for a bike bought on 21-2-2009 ;D
-
Apologies for the crummy cellphone camera image, but this was yesterday on the commute home:
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/Kaffenback12345miles.jpg)
I've been using the Kaffenback for just over a couple of years now, so it's averaging about 475 miles a month.
I'm not sure exactly what I've replaced so far, but I know I've replaced one saddle, one gear-brake changer lever (damaged in a minor off), I'm on the third chain/cassette, and aside from the original tyres (which I binned in less than 1000 miles), I'm on the second set of Marthon Supremes. I've also probably replaced the brake blocks half a dozen times, two or three brake cables, and one front changer gear cable, and both wheel rims have been worn out. I just (yesterday morning!) had to swap the front pedals over, because the bearings need replacing. I suspect the Bottom Bracket bearings also need replacing, since there's a slight occasional clicking coming from that part of the bike.
This is mainly used as a commuter, so it's not surprising that things like the gears and brakes are being worn out alarmingly fast.
-
It's not a large or particularly interesting number in and of itself, but not bad consider I only picked up the bike on 03/09/11.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dlIBm377OyA/ToS61TzUVaI/AAAAAAAABLs/EOIsl94RqmE/s512/IMG_0066.JPG)
I try not to think of the missed opportunities that would have put me on course for 900-1,000km by the end of the month.

Very good! How long did that take you? I've just made 30,000km on the Fujin SLII in the last three years.
-
*points 3 posts earlier* Just over 2yrs 9 months.

For 40km? Slacker :P

On yesterday's 200:

Checked the clock and noticed the SMGT's odo was at 8000 miles.

I realises this particular milestone was coming up when we went out on the tandem this morning, but I missed it by a coupe of miles!
12347 isn't nearly so photogenic.

Spotted this on the way out on Thursday night:
(http://www.ductilebiscuit.net/gallery_albums/SMGT/Photo0491.sized.jpg)
I suspect it reached that state at around the time I was passing the Country Girl on Monday evening.
(No, I haven't ridden nearly enough since last September.)

I just missed 30,000 miles earlier this year, no idea when 20,000 miles happened, but I got this one today:

Not so much a celebration of personal effort, and anyway I'm off the bike due to some lingering injuries, more a testament to the longevity of my 2001 VW Transporter. It's in km, so a little less impressive than it appears at first sight.
