Having shown the Olympics bullet time in the previous post, it is amazing how they are now able to do in real-time. I guess that is a sign of technology evolution over 14 years.

The rear brake on the Tomac has been playing up recently – zero pressure in the lever and it travel all the way back to the handle bar without a hint of actually providing any stopping power.

With the Quest Adventure monthly ride rapidly approaching, I dropped the bike off three days early in the hope they might be able to have a quick look at the brake, perhaps bleed it and get it ready.

I received a call though. The call of dread and bad news – the brake was knackered and going to have to be replaced under warranty. Which would take 10-14 days. Without even stopping for a breath, I was told not to worry and that rather than offer me a demo bike, they have put a temporary SLX brake on the Tomac off one of the demo bikes so I could still take my own bike out on the ride.

I’m super impressed with the service and continue to highly recommend Quest for all round excellent cycling related-ness.

A conversation reminded me of how blown away I was when I saw the bullet time use in the Olympic Gymnastics. Managed to find this nice example on YouTube.
