The boy and I went up to the Camel farm at Kalamunda yesterday, wow things have changed a lot since I last rode a mtb in the hills. Back then it was Kalamunda circuit, Little Ovens and the unofficial stuff at Gunjin...
He found the going a bit more challenging, I need to sort out something better than 32 x 34 as a low gear for him or he's going to stop enjoying it.

Looks like you went east on the fire road and back west on Gridlocked? East on Flaccid Ashback and then back west on the fire road makes for an easier ride.
Another option is to head up the Munda Biddi and do Horny Devil. Fairly easy climb and a fun little track for the kids on the way back down.
Interesting to see what Rev Mezzer you get. Posts on MTBR saying people getting old stock Mezzers from EU stores instead of updated ones with bleed ports and revised bushings.

Yeah I have been following that thread too.
I'll pull the lowers to check the bottom out bumpers and confirm fixed lowers when they arrive. My understanding is the bleed ports came later on.

Rotation direction correct? Logos lined up with valves?

Started with the skills loop then headed out Joeys line and then cut down to M W road. West to Camel train and Black Stump. East on the fire road and started on the first part of Tangaroo Kick with the intention of going onto Flaccid Ashback but at the first crossing of the fire road the boy said no more single track and we went along until we hit Gridlocked. Once we got to the bottom of Gridlocked we cruised back down the fire road and I was going to head South on the Munda Biddi to the start of Horny Devil but he was starting to get a bit over it so we turned onto the last section of Horny Devil then made our way back. He found the rocks and roots more of a challenge than at Margaret River.
Unfortunately it looks like he missed one of the more fun bits by skipping Flaccid Ashback
It's Birthday party season now so maybe a few weeks until we can get back out thereDaniel Hale

Did a thing like when a mum lifts a rolled Hyundai off her baby with super strength of love but it was a tree 'cross me trail and not really that heavy. Still did it with love strength.

My brother has them still I hope. I pretty much fucked them converting them to later model 20mm lowers and all the anodizing wore through on the stanchions.
I want to get them back to hang on the shed wall.

Magpie season is just around the corner and I wanted better protection so I rode past TBE on the way home and picked up a Proframe.
Turns out the only thing more fun than passing cashed up carbon roadies on my old MTB - is passing cashed up carbon roadies on my old MTB whilst wearing a full face lid and yelling yeeewww at the top of my voice.
Unfortunately it appears I did it with the strap hanging out through the chin guard...

Wanna sell me the frame, or buy some really nice V1 Bombers for it?
