This is about two weeks worth of WDYDTWFYBT posts.
Spent some time over the Easter break on the young blokes $10 Rotto special. Emptied about half a litre of water from the fork shaped objects, cleaned the rusty stanchions, greased & reassembled them. Gave the spoke roller a workout and replaced a heap of broken spokes, retrued both wheels, regreased front and rear hubs. Raided the parts pile for a short stem and some nice old Azonic risers and secondhand lock ons. Fitted an old rack ready for Rotto. Went overboard to the tune of $60 with new tubes, new brake and gear cables/outers and a new chain. Justified it by saying he could use this bike to ride to school after the trip.
On Easter Monday we visited the in laws farm and I rode a bit of the area I had walked around previously, realised some bits were a lot steeper to ride up than walk and I am very very unfit.
Last Thursday we headed to Rottnest for five days. I had plans to ride around the island one day but the family vetoed it and always had other ideas. However we were on the bikes every day just riding to and from various places.
One thing about Rotto wherever you park your bike, you'll probably have one of the locals not far away!
