Bought some bits after Sunday's 'dilemma'. Thought I may as well get some new rubber for the Trance while I was at it...

Rode with a mate. Was good for most of the time. NB: this was the second break, luckily mate had driven there so managed to avoid a long walk home!

Spin at the local with a mate. Lots of folk out and about, and more than a roo or too. Good times.

Broken toe kept me off 2 wheels until a week ago. Heading over for a spin at 1pm if you're around!

Prospect Res? Never ridden any of those paths.

Solid lap at the local. Came tearing around a corner on the concrete path en route to the trailhead to be confronted by a massive goanna almost the width of the path. My reaction was akin to that of Bumpy in Grown Ups 2 when he screamed 'DINOSAUR!' upon seeing a bullfrog. NB: without actually...

Have been running Ultegra Di2 for years now and absolutely love it. Have you had a decent ride using it before?

3 gigs in 6 days, kicking off with New Order last Saturday night, continuing with The Stranglers at The Enmore (first pic) on Wed and The Presets at Waves (Wollongong) last night. Very different crowds at all 3, with the 3rd being most far removed from the others, unsurprisingly enough. Young...

Morning spin at the local, first try with the new hoops. Going from a 2.6 front 2.4 rear combo to a 2.4/2.35 made a marked difference, much less rolling resistance and greater acceleration; a dash placebo effect and a lot more riding of late maaaaaaybe contributing!

New Order last night, Sydney Opera House forecourt. Spectacular venue, amazing lighting, band were in solid form. But Baby Jesus it was hot! Tops night.

Out with the old and in with the new. Magic Mary up front (sounds a tad weird) and Hans Dampf in the rear (sounds invasive and unsolicited). May the ride be less disturbing than the written word.

Thanks @shiny much appreciated!

Hi all, apologies if this is better suited to Parts and Stuff, did a search but came up empty handed. Looking for a new tyre combo for my Stumpjumper, currently running Specialized Butcher 2.6 up front and Eliminator 2.3 in the rear, both of which are overkill for the sort of riding I do...

Great few days away in Canberra with a bunch of mates. Majura, East Kowen and Stromlo. Tops fun and way overdue.

First mtb ride since early Nov 24. Been back on the roadie for a few weeks and while today hurt (the midday, 25 deg start could've been a factor....!) was great to be back on the dirt.
