Baby, blown ACL, new house, not much riding. :/

I don't think he's going to tell us so we might as well start anyway. Have you looked at a sight? They are dirt cheap right now and are enough bike for 99% of Aussie tracks.

Trump won't do it, he is too lazy.

The scott genius hit 4k today, which works out at 160,000m of acending and decending. The only oringal bits left are the cranks/bb and the front triangle.

I destroyed the e1900 rear rim in 2 weeks. It had the shape of a stop sign by the end. They are butter soft.

Bearings seem fine, I did pack them with grease before fitting. I always just build the wheels in the bike, I haven't looked at stands. What's the benefit of a stand? That seat is great by the way. Not sure how many muddy ass rides it will last but it's comfy and light and looks pretty good.

I've gone through heaps of these in the last 3 years. They work perfectly fine. I've used the dirtbike versions for the last 10 years.

There is no clamp issue, they use a taper to pull tight instead of a hinged clamp. It seems odd at first but works fine.

Gotta ask, where is that ?

1000m on the DMR trailstar today. Not bad for a little old dirtjumper. Same bike/frame as my profile pic from 20 years ago. It can go back under the house for another 5 years.

Does that mean he needs to fund the legal bill of the employees he fired? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/15/technology/elon-musk-twitter-fired-criticism.html

Less draggy than a DHR, and no not really.

DHF front and rear. Move on with your life.

I've done quite a few rides now. I don't even think about them while riding, where Shimano brakes are a constant annoyance. 3 thumbs up.

9 days delivery on my last order (Deore 12sp cassette $87). 1 day longer than my order from Goerges bike shop in WA which was ordered at the same time.
