How far back from the bbq are you standing? You look about jockey size.Headed out to the Youies after nightshift and best myself up on the hardtail.
Added a Tomahawk that I've had in the parts bin for probably around 4 years to trail it up a little, but still be fast rolling for rides around home. Slick! But good fun.
Bit of a BBQ to wrap things up... (Flame suit on!)

That's not me, much to slender to be me. I'm certainly no jockey!
Only ever ridden Super Bowl before sorry mate. I could see some changed lines but not sure how old.
I was having difficulty reconciling bike size to the photo!That's not me, much to slender to be me. I'm certainly no jockey!
Pretty similar head wise though.
Is that the wall ride at the top in the 2 sets of 3 tables? Might be different as it was quite a few years ago that I was there. I had a couple of very half arsed attempts to make it work and just couldn't pull it all together at the time. Those jumps were a lot of fun though!
Yeah that’s the one. I’ve never even considered it. Way beyond my skill and commitment level.
He needs a DT FR560.Wheel/tyre masher #2 son asked me if we could look at his rear wheel this week in case we get to Tassie.
I had a hour or two free this morning so went and had a look. Needed another a new rim FFS.
Done a rim to rim spoke transplant and 32 new DT Swiss brass nipples.
This is now the 4th rim on this wheel/hub, started life as a Raceface and has now had 3 WTB i35 asymmetric rims fitted.
It was so badly dented and straightened it no longer held tubeless and 30 of the 32 nipples didn't even want to leave the rim cavity as there was probably 250g of sealant in there holding them in place.
He's been running 1.5kg wire bead Schwalbe bikepark tyres at nearly 50psi lately, reckons they are the magic solution
Not even worth me fitting a cushcore as he'll be back in 1 hour with a torn sidewall.

He does ! but those WTB rims were on sale at CRC for about $50 each and I picked up a 3rd from Bike24 for around the same, they were Asymmetric and the same ERD as the RaceFace rims that were on there.

Yeah the Magic Mary bike park tyres #2 is running are 1.5kg... he has actually nearly worn one out before destroying it.
Soft compound but at $30 a tyre, they are easily bought. Even with a wire bead, they set up tubeless easily.He's been running 1.5kg wire bead Schwalbe bikepark tyres at nearly 50psi lately, reckons they are the magic solution
