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

[ashes_mtb]

Perfect commute this morning. Got every green light, passed a roadie, nailed the stair drop and hit the platform just as the first train of the day rolled up.

With mtbing a thing again the On One is back doing workhorse duties. Must admit I prefer the dually; fuck expansion cracks and minor road imperfections. The stairs hurt too.

Called the perfect commute too early it seems…

Temptation creek fireroad climbs can eat a bagfull.
Eapecially if it’s towards the Grays point end.

Ugh. So true. They get pretty bad at times - then NPWS will send a grader down and they get easier for a few months. Downhill isn't much better on the fire roads - gets pretty sketchy cornering at any sort of speed on the loose sandstone baby heads.

Shot down ....

 

[pink poodle]

Fuck me! These bloody things are never an easy "ping!" and it's off. How good are the split versions? So much better...that's how good!

Anyone think there will be an issue if I cut a slit in this big fat 1.5 to 1 1/8 reducer? It's out of a fairly robust headset from a dh frame.

 

[ausdb]

Bought a 24mm socket, haven't had a chance to take it to the grinder yet. Some long overdue maintenance is in order.


Ask the magic 8 ball what's the chance of this ending in the f=wits thread.




Answer, Signs point to Yes

I can't believe loose bearing headsets still exist. But then I think of Shimano hubs...

Ok so that is 1 for cut it! Any other thoughts? I think we all know where I'm headed with this...otherwise I wouldn't have asked.

It’s been discussed and done on here numerous times.

I’ve never done it myself, but vote cut, cut, cut, cut.

 

[pink poodle]

I've cut heaps of them! Just not one this...robust. But cut I shall!!! After dinner.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Work had been getting in the way of my lifestyle for a bit too long lately.

Serviced the forks and shock and given Big Blue a bit of annual maintenance love. Goes quite well and quiet.

Back at the original local I used to ride before the other local which is also known as the local.

 

[pink poodle]

Good idea @Mr Crudley! I'm going for a ride.

Get amongst it young man.

It might not be technical chunk but no one is around which more than makes up for it. That'll do me.

 

[Rorschach]

Great, now I want to get out for a scoot. Nice day here too.

 

[Rorschach]

Just bought one of these along with a OneUp pump and EDC tool, but worried it might be a bit too much blue.
Someone tell me it'll be OK.

Are the hubs blue? If not they should be.

If it's too much when it turns up just put is on upside down
