Used some 2228 mastic to cover the chainstay end on the banshee.
The clear sticker they use there sucks and comes off really easily. So good to replace it with this.
Also did the downtube (no photo) with some 50mm wide. Also sticks really well.
Also patched the inside of that Goodyear (with the ugly sidewall pattern) after getting a cut in the tread last ride. Orangeseal did nothing for the initial puncture except make a mess of my mudguard and the trail.

Whats the goal for tomorrow?
This the 6 hour thing?

Yep. Only goal is to ride as long and as far as I can. Hopefully don’t blow up in the first hour, but that is just as likely as any other outcome.
I’m an optimist so I’ve plotted out a course that goes well beyond what I could physically do

Three times round the Heritage Trail? Or Kalamunda Loops?Yep. Only goal is to ride as long and as far as I can. Hopefully don’t blow up in the first hour, but that is just as likely as any other outcome.

I’m starting at Midland and doing the Goat Farm first. If all goes well I’ll get across to Kalamunda for some loops.

100%... though it did fund my first round the world trip, which was life changing for me.
I bought it for $1,700 in very ratty condition. Did a full reno/rebuild and sold it for $5,800... and back in the early 80's that was big dollars. The guy who bought it off me, sold it for $52,000 about 15 years ago, unchanged from my work on it... and who knows what it is worth now.

Stupid money!
My dad had a general engineering business when I was a kid and it was around the corner from Brook Henry's first business Webrook engineering. My brother and I spent many Saturday mornings wandering around his workshop or cleaning his lathes in return for getting out dirt bike tuned up.

Yep, any round case bevel would be off the planet. Particularly green frame 750SS and yellow 750S like mine.
I had a round case 750GT which would be worth a few bob too.
