Ooh do tell!! haha. Only normally hear wispers and sly comments....typical answer being "if you have an issue with it...you should be in front of me anyway!" hahaha.

Was an awesome race day though. Although the final result sucked, it was still great racing which is what i wanted...........and i was coming back from "injury" lol

Nationals Mt Gambier

Just received confirmation from Bmxa that my mtb is eligible for nationals so long as it conforms to a couple of measurements. Bars 29" and wheels fully inflated 26" or less....it's now go time lol

Gates on hardtails are awesome haha.

Tyres i'm using are geax mezcals, purely for their small bag size. I think they're 1.9's but they measure just a fraction under 26". Luckily they don't grip too bad either :D

^^aha. BennyMac and i had friendly "words" last night measuring up the rims on my hardtail and his with our different tyres trying to figure how you'd do it. :fat: awesome :fat: have you ridden the Mt Gambier track at all? i just looked up a few reviews on those Mezcals, they look/sound pretty good but you may find them a bit slippy in the corners at the Mount - the surface there is crushed volcanic ash, interesting stuff. i found it a bit loose in the second and third corners on my Siren's. are you riding State round there this weekend? we've nom'd already for both cruiser and Retro for this weekend but have pulled out of the Nationals due to cashflow issues.

+1 to that. If its trail riding, dj'ing I'd have the rebound just slow enough that it doesn't "spring" back. For Bmx though I have it a bit slower again to try and reduce fork movement with the compression as hard as I can get it. Only running coil sprung argyles I have the compression knob on full and all the preload spacers that came with it fitted. Still has movement but not plush free flowing movement, nice and stiff but without being like a rigid fork. Best for you to mess around with different psi's until he likes the feel for how he's going to ride it......hope that helps

so what my mate/colleague has dubbed the 60 day challenge starts on monday. Basically going to supplement all of the riding/training i do at the moment by also hitting the gym. he also talked about no more maccas and no alcohol, but i basically already have that covered ;) just gotta get burrito off the maccas as well :p
hopefully i will see some improvements in power etc!
