Had a 51t XTR on it before, and was shifting fine other than the munted 1st 2nd 3rd cogs. The Sunrace cassette is the only different piece of the puzzle. Could just be the shimano chain doesn't like it. I'll keep playing with the b-screw and see what happens.

I did check that after the first ride :D

New chain & cassette. Everything else was pre-existing

Correct!

@Haakon there's hope for you yet! Frenchified

Chain is definitely not too short, nearly destroyed a brand new chain on my well worn 34t chainring, had to put the Melrose Special 32t on for now. Cable was fine for the XTR cassette that was on it, but worth a look.

Brains Trust. Never had to deal with this before because every bike has just worked. Sunrace 12sp cassette, XT chain, XTR derailleur. Goes into larger cogs no wukkas, refuses point blank to come off 1st gear, but then for the rest of the cassette the cable is too loose and will double shift...

Torque wrench? 🤪 I don't even own one that goes that high. The Ugga Dugga metre in my wrist said it will be fine.

Beechworth is my new High Country home away from home. Rode the Beechworth loop. Pipeline is a bit too Gravelburn for me, blink and you miss the singletrack. Although what single track there is was worth it. They did forget to mention the wombat sized holes though. This intersection...

Thursday = car day. Here, I'm standing in Victoria, looking south into NSW

Wednesday, however, was a much betterer day. Fixed some things, drove around a bit. Got shit done. Went for a ride.

Tuesday. What can I say. Tuesday, December 10, 2024 can eat a bag of dicks. Well, it started Monday night, where there was an issue with a cat. So I didn't get to bed until midnight, and didn't actually get to sleep until closer to 2am. I was supposed to be driving out the gate at 4am to get...

100% of my flights and 90% of my car trips are for work. Struggling with your over-sized overhead? Take your time! Raced up the blocked lane and need to cut in? Be my guest!

More this shape But that's OK, I like Brian better

Wot he said! You're still doing aerobic endurance work, it's just not structured. I'm riding way way less than I used to, two or three rides a week every second or third week, and arguably riding better for it.

MET helmets were the ones for me back in the day. My head is both elliptical and huge. Hasn't been so much of a problem in these modern times, but I've found Lazer and Giant both sit on my skull nicely. Fox weren't too bad, just overpriced for the quality, like most things Fox

Apparently it swayed him from wanting to race BMX next year and continue on with us 😆

@Jabubu I like the Oury grips because of their size, but like Lizard Skins North shore even better

They only fired twice the whole time they sat there!

I've been following Dot for awhile and I remember this happening
