Random event...no crash..nothing just sat down and rail snapped clean....I wish I could tell a spectacular tale that would at least make the drive seem worthwhile

What did I do? What did I do? Well ok i"ll tell you what I did!
1st:- Spent 5hrs setting my tubeless rims up with Stans No Tube Kit.
2nd:- Put the tubes back in my tyres and put them back on the bike.
3rd:- Ordered 2 new "Tubeless" tyres from the store.
4th:- Installed a frame skin on the forks and underside of the frame. It was kinda easy to do would like more coverage but fiddly and me don't get along.
5th:- After 4 weeks of "Air Shock" ownership worked out why my pressures were always wrong.
6th:- Found out how to use my shock pump the correct way.
Well at least I get to ride tomorrow now even though it is just a meander along the beach with the Family. Would normally take my hardtail but building wheels takes time it seems.

I found it out front of my local fish n chip shop, It had Free Ride stickers on it, so i figured it was free to ride !
I only do Down Hill on it.
I found the reflectors on the display bikes at Big W, they always have spares !

I've been thinking about going tuebeless for a while but wanted to do it the right way with tubeless rims & tyres so put it in to FTR for Stans no tube Arch EX rims & hubs and Schwalbe Racing Ralph tubeless tyres. While it was there I weakened and had an XT crank & bottom brakcet fitted and an XTR front derailleur. I reweighed the bike at 12.7kg, I'm pretty happy with that for a dually. I'll be eating baked bean casseroles for a while, but man what a difference...........

Got all psyched up to drag myself away from study and go for a trundle out at Gap Creek,
checked bike to see that the pivot bolt which had been tightened (to manufacturers specs) before the previous ride had not loosened again,
discovered that said bolt had snapped clean off,
put bike back inside,
got a beer and sat outside feeling a bit depressed.

Also snapped a main linkage bolt and cracked the linkage on my genius... So called LBS, waiting on a call back, don't think I'll be riding the rollercoaster this weekend.

tuned up NoFearNick's Giant Anthem.... replaced inner and outer cables, cut/routed to perfection, and tuned it all up
12.39kgs for a 5 year old large frame with heavy wheels and tubes is bloody impressive!
