Welcome to my world..... Minus the broken ribs, wrist and other annoying shit.+ with the injuries, broken ribs, wrist and other annoying shit, I have hardly ridden in 6 weeks and been smashing the beers, gone from 85kg to 91kg and lost a lot of fitness.
New bike time. That seat angle is far too slack, that’s why nothings working properly. It’s not your toe’s fault.Got cleared from a broken wrist today, the last lingering injury from the Bay of Fires trail in Tassie. X-ray and ultrasound clear, swollen joint is causing pain and hand/finger numbness as its pressing on my carpal tunnel, Doc says anti-inflammatories and it should be good soon... then the fact im old is a multiplying factor.
MTB is now back on the cards.
So, new Assy-guy on the back, new Ergon saddle, new pads front and rear... and a blue spring from Cyclinic, got my expected sag and the ACS3 spring fork conversion is buttery smooth. Still only got 135mm max travel but I was going easy'ish on XC trails, a few jumps and techy bits but that's ok + I got the fork converted from 150mm to 160mm at the same time so got 25mm in reserve.
One thing I have notice is my confidence has taken a hit... very cautious, the fear of crashing is strong. Noticed I am pointing toes down and drifting wide on corners, rather than heels down, pushing the knobs in and looking ahead on the trail

The bushes have always been in slack mode and gained an extra 10mm on the fork, slacker HA but also slacker STA. Not sure on the exact figures but my Evil Following felt steeper. Doesn't really bother me though, once the post is zoomed down, its out of the equation.New bike time. That seat angle is far too slack, that’s why nothings working properly.

Rollercoaster is still pretty rough and ready. Not as fast though.Wedgetail is like a freeway on the top section now, looks steam rolled.
Half the problem is that you don't use brakes at Coomie like everyone else does. And they don't wear like they do everywhere else...and then you take them somewhere else that's actually steep and muddy and wonder why they don't work or just wear out!Fantastic day on the bike, which ran faultlessly except a fairly fundamental brake issue.
And just before they failed there were 6 of us stuck behind a single speeder who just couldn't descend to save himself. Never been on the brakes so hard for so long.Half the problem is that you don't use brakes at Coomie like everyone else does.

The brake pads on my hardtail date from 2010...and the ones on dually are circa 2014...
You were here too?Great ride George. Tracks were top notch and the weather ideal.
Xt’s don’t have feel or modulation. Fight me!And just before they failed there were 6 of us stuck behind a single speeder who just couldn't descend to save himself. Never been on the brakes so hard for so long.
If anyone argues that XT four-pots don't have excellent feel and modulation, I will happily slap them. Hard
They had enough to get me down numerous hills, they'll do meXt’s don’t have feel or modulation. Fight me!
Try my hopes. Pre or post slap I don’t mind, but your full of it if you think xt’s have modulation compared to what else is on the market.
Hopes have excellent expensives, and look amazing, but otherwise don't have anything to offer over Shimano. Tried v4s and x2s, went back to Zee's and xt, better feel for less monies.Xt’s don’t have feel or modulation. Fight me!

TL;DR Planky’s wrong.Hopes have excellent expensives, and look amazing, but otherwise don't have anything to offer over Shimano. Tried v4s and x2s, went back to Zee's and xt, better feel for less monies.
for the life of me I can't see this modulation thing people keep banging on about either, does it just mean less power? Cos you can get less power with cheap tektros if you want

'Fraid so, UL. Hope lever feel is proper engineering feel. Shimano's feel is psychotic at times.TL;DR Planky’s wrong.
I mean yeah, of course he is.TL;DR Planky’s wrong.
