Little Things You Hate

was riding with the family so we had to stop pretty often and must be those march flies. no bites but they are pesky buggers. queenstown trails looked like a lot of fun. maybe it was just from the lookouts but didnt seem a lot that you'd want to ride without a shuttle.
Cicadas were everywhere in the George Town Tipp hills trails. You would smack into them every now and again, and they are massive! But at least they leave you alone, unlike the March flies.
 
Note to self, don't bother with Orange Seal again. FFS.

Dry in less than 4 weeks. Admittedly it's been fucking hot on occasion, but Stans never dried out this fast.

And, of course, I'm not home. The only options in Griffith are unreliable blue crap, or more Orange Seal. $40 bucks for a quarter of the quantity I can get online.

Years since I have used Orange seal and my shed gets stupid hot and don’t recall it ever drying out like that. Maybe they tweaked the formula and messed it up.

Car shop and use the green slime stuff or just use a tube (we won’t tell anyone ;)) so you can ride until you get your preferred sealant.

That's been my experience in Qld, seals the big holes well but dries up in half the time.

Isn't that why they also sell an endurance version?

Personally, I've gone back to tubes. Filled with latex...
 
Most of the reluctance to just buy more Orange Seal is the very real possibility tonight would turn out to be my only chance to ride this week.

Hard to find a bike shop that stocks sealant but doesn't have Stans, even if its the little 2oz/50ml bottles for $12-$15 each :oops:
 
Hmmm , needs butter spulling.

Annnnnd , are dishwashers, sinks , bathrooms like ‘ self cleaning ‘

Joking for all the pedants hahaha

Can't be any worse than what you've got going on there....





EDIT: Even my joke was shite. Bloody corrosion inhibitor instead of antifreeze 🤦‍♂️

I agree that seatbelts should be worn but photographing it is just revenue raising.

Farkers ! You and the wife both fined and points for her wearing it incorrectly ?

I run Radarbot or Waze in the car every trip these days, just as a warning to make sure I'm not doing anything that could be construed as illegal.

Only the registered vehicles owner gets fined you can fill out a stat dec on the back of the infringement notice nominating the correct person to get the points / fine if you choose.

There is actually a nice little market in selling your points to people that would lose their license - they pay you a fee on top of the fine amount to take the hit - or you can have your vehicles in a company name no points or penalty for the driver but the fine is 5 times the amount
