On Saturday night, I looked at the forecasted temperatures to see if I could find a touring destination where I could experience cooler weather. Manza Onsen, Mugiso Pass, Kinsei Pass, etc....
However, we were confronted with the fact that it is impossible to escape the curse of 30 degrees Celsius at an altitude of about 1,500 meters....orz
The Shibutoge Hotel is located at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, and their website says "The morning temperature is 16.5 degrees Celsius! But I can't stay in Shibutoge all the time. However, I can't stay in Shibutoge all the time. It's a little hard to ride in the area under 1,500m altitude when the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius all the time....Yeah. It was Sunday, but I skipped the touring!...
night running
However, I didn't want to not ride my bike at all, so I rode at night. I made an appointment to have dinner with an acquaintance and took the Daisan Keihin to Yokohama.
The weekend ended with a round trip of about 50 km, including side trips....
Chain wear and elongation
That's why I went to Yokohama by way of the third Keihin and returned home by way of the Bay Bridge on the way down, but it has occurred since my return from Tohoku touring."Clattering noise due to slack in the chain"is deteriorating rapidly.
Yesterday, when I changed the oil, I noticed that the chain was loose again, and I need to adjust it as soon as possible.
Actually, when I changed the tire at the store just before the Tohoku tour, I felt that the chain tension was loose when I checked the completion of the job. I lifted the chain with my finger to check the slackness (I felt it was a little loose...), and when I looked at the staff, they looked at me like they didn't like me, so I didn't point it out. I should have let him deal with it at that time.
On the way back from Tohoku touring, I only noticed the rattling sound when decelerating, but now I can hear it quite a bit when starting and even when accelerating and decelerating while driving....
I can't believe how quickly things can deteriorate....
I'll go to the Kawasaki Plaza tomorrow and have it adjusted....orz
