What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

If only they made a stem mount for a subwoofer ey?

Sick mate... subwoofer!

Went for a nice ride after I dropped the children off to school. BOM hinted a monsoonal downpour but I risked it and was rewarded with an hour and a half of delightful technical riding (and the hill climb!).

Also, I adjusted my brake levers and shifters upwards a bit and I think they actually reduced a bit of hand strain! So thank you whoever that was

PS. My enduro strap kit wasn't required.

Booked a one-way ticket to Tassie this morning.. figured I should probably do a long overdue service on the suspension

Looks like it was all going well till you cut the steerer to short

Lucky he has the gaff tape!

#1 means first born/oldest.

If they were numbered by favouritism, they would be #9999999 and #9999998

They cost me way too much on bikes and parts.

it's like having twins..
"which one is your favourite?"
my reply..."I don't have favourites, I hate them both equally!"

Have the E-Bike in pieces so took the Ripley for a trundle - I had so forgotten what a light bike feels like - Set heaps of PB's on downhill sections

Makes me real happy they anodise the internals too.

Speaking of which, how hard is it to do a 50hr service on a Rockshox Recon? Is it just bushings and foam bits?

Nothing is hard - depending on you!

Leave the bushes alone. Wiper seals, foam seals, and fresh lube.
Follow the youtubes. Pretty simple job.

Had to pick up my ute after a service in Scottsdale 20km from where I live in Bridport, decided to take the long way there with a detour up Mt Stronach. 45km 800vm later pickup the ute up was a lovely ride.

Thanks! Doesn't look too hard at all.

Sadly just visiting, but pretty flexible with how long I stay for so haven't booked a return trip yet. Will work that out when I get sick of riding.

New shock day.

Replaced the deluxe select with a manitou mara pro.

Very excited to try it out.

Google "Rockshox Recon Service Manual"

Step by step with pretty pictures and torque numbers.

Pull forks off the bike.

Clean forks throughly before you start. Warm soapy water in the sink, dry, then clean with isopropyl.

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

If doing a minor service, clean the foam rings. Wash in hot soapy water, then fold a rag over them and step on them, work around the rag until rings are dry. Soak in your chosen oil.
