    I can’t read Butcher and sth Australia in the same sentence without thinking of bodies in Barrels and a string of other bizarre murders. They make em weird over there.

    I still get confused on what size is what. Schooners, pints. I remember when it was simple in Vic. Just a pot. Perfect size to scoff it down quick on a hot summers days.

    What does your day look like?

    The factory gas was great. A bit stressful once though when I forgot to fill it and look down to see the guage at zero. Found a servo and rolled in 10km further down the road. No jerrycans with factory gas!

    Reminds me of when I was a kid and made cars out of LEGO and everything looked like that. I know it’s 4WD abilities weren’t too flash not that I ever needed them but I wish they still made utes like this.

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    Just installed a KS Exaform 100mm dropper on my daughter’s bike as well as the proven and excellent ZTTO lever. I’ve owned a KS post in the past and it was excellent. I’m impressed. It ain’t no high end thing but it’s pretty damn smooth and paired with the lever proves no issue for my kids...

    2025 World Cup Downhill / EDR

    Yes you are right you are. Would have been cool if if it was a Guide. Things basically a classic. I know one guy to have raced it. Not at the pointy end of course but finished it. Remember seeing the Ben Watkins vid from 2013. Was funny AF hearing an Australian accent telling riders to...

    A mass start race like Megavalance is on my bucket list. Saw the Deviate go past. Thought it might have been a Guide.

    The stupid questions thread.

    I‘m willing to lay a bet that you haven’t tried one. If that’s the case I’m going to suggest it’s a bit hard to speak so authoritatively on a subject. Something that people seem to do a lot here. I like to try new things. If it does nothing for me I dump it. But in this case for me they make a...

    The stupid questions thread.

    Interestingly I was curious about running one when I had a HP bike. Through much trial and error people that had done it before found that it worked best clocked about 15 degrees off what the CR manufacturer specified which was problematic if you were running cranks that only gave you one or...

    From experience? I climb steep and I find no drawbacks.

    The stupid questions thread.

    I only went to 165 cranks as the bb on my frame is super low and pedal strikes were real. In saying that I then put 165’s on my other bike with a higher bb and definitely notice less pedal strikes and no other downsides. I pedal up a lot of steep stuff and don’t notice any drawbacks at all...
