Still am, 2 now :tsk:. Sick inlaws, off season horse track construction and the wife wanting a functioning bathroom :noidea: Have conspired against me. There are some pics of where up to on the Blur a few pages back. I just can't bring myself to sully these awesome valve stems I received though......
Was good to meet you and put a face to the name. The single crowns still hold up pretty well, but the 40s are pretty blingy.
Now to find a new direct mount stem, the ones i had for my previous forks are not the current 50x30mm standard.

For a minute I thought takai had snuck into my house to take photos!
I performed a quick make over on the nomad...new cassette bars pedals post and seat to go with new wheels and chain guide...
- wheels = mavic deetracks
- chain guide = gravity lite
- seat = azonic something from my stash
- post = crank brothers cobalt
- bars = funn full on 750mm
- pedals = ns leg eaters
- cassette = sram pg950 12-26
I wanted to go stealth black with the orange pedals. Giant glory build has hit a major hurdle, so licking my wounds and playing with the nomad.
One day I'll get around to trimming those brakes.

You WHAT???
Nah, i think i would be one of the few people on here with a race car in the garage alongside the bikes....
Oh and shorten those brake lines now.... they are just begging for a stick to snag in them.

slicks...nomad is currently my only functioning bike so it is doubling as freeride machine, all mountain pony, commuter and stair hucker, and just general looking good and showing off. I am attempting to stick with 2 bikes for a while (been running 3-4 for a while and thought it might be nice to see how the rest of the world live). Deetracks for the town work, DT Swiss FR600 for the trails. I switched out the Thompson seat post in case some smack head decided to pinch my seat (QR clamp).

Yeah I know. been taunting fate with them for a while now...if only I was busting out the maxxx gnar tail whips to justify it!
And it was the neat stack of car tyres that eased my mind. I keep my spare (bike) tyres in a very unorderly fashion.

Started swapping the parts over from the GT Peace 9r to the Voodoo Dambala, wheels, disc brake alignment, broken plastic cane creek topcap before it even got tight - used the 9r's metal topcap, and a seat post that won't insert because it has a minor bend.
Off to hunt for a ~250mm x 27.2 seatpost online as I'm stuck at home with my daughter.

replaced the hans dampf on my rocky mountain element decided to have a run with the original tyres conti x-king [f] race king [r] well see how the go.
Had my first crack at bleeding formulas. Don't know what the whinging is about, it was a piece of cake. Turns out my mate had a massive bubble in the lever, to the point we were drawing out so much air I though I hadn't tightened the screw in the caliper properly. Also replaced the pads, the last ones were almost to the plate.
Needless to say, he can now stop properly (for formulas).

Took the snot monster for a ride up at Tamworth mtb Park today with a couple of mates from the area.. What a fucking awesome place they have up there! So many rocky technical areas it's not funny!
