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

[Fred Nurk]

Neigbor texts and says there’s fork shaped box sitting on the porch. He knows me well. WTF? Did I order a fork in an @ozzybmx style stupor?
Somewhat excitedly I rush home just in case.
sure looks like a fork box….

ah, nup. It’s a fucking vacuum cleaner. I DEFINITELY didn’t order this. It’s almost like my missus is playing with my emotions..

Well, it’s a nice day. Might wash the bike.

Wow, that sucks.

Spent last night reinstalling the repaired cranks, undoing and retorquing various bolts, and adding some colour bling.

Oury grips 4 eva (which is roughly how long they’d last me if I never crashed).

Oneup pedals. No doubt I’ll gouge them up on the first set of rocks I see. (Note the man sized valves in the background, resplendent in metallic blue and orange).

Custom fluro orange Magura inserts (much brighter than the photo suggests).

Man-sized valves but kid-sized pedals? Weird setup...

That’s a fancy cordless Dyson. Don’t look up the price.

Yep, can’t remember how much ours cost, it’s the got pets one, but who cares, it is fricken awesome.

Onto our third Dyson, which is the fancy cordless. We first had a DC01 in about 96 'til about 2010 I reckon. Ditto on the pricing @Lazmo.

 

[ozzybmx]

Our V8 Animal is still alive after 7 yrs, it's on its 3rd new battery and now lives at our holiday house and works flawlessly in its reduced workload in a place 1/3 the size of our main house.

I jumped ship and went Samsung cordless as it was on a massive discount in new year sales.
It's just as good but will it stand the test of time.

 

[pink poodle]

I hope it will! I have a Samsung something something for the house. I'd like it to last a long time given how small he space is.

Cheapest cordless Dyson at work. Poor choice as it gets a flogging. Should have gone for something from the higher end of the range.

Our first Dyson is now the garage/car vacuum. The second Dyson is now my shed vacuum. The third Dyson is one of those hand held laser rechargeable jobbies and is pretty awesome. Haven't killed any of them and that shed one has sucked up some serious non household shit!

32km / 494m yesterday, from Bickley Resevoir to Kalamunda and back.

Managed to take almost 2min off my PB for the first climb (1.5km @ 9.5% avg) so definitely seeing some big improvements on that aspect of my riding. Gimp line choices on the downhills not showing any signs of improvment though.

Thanks for getting the thread back on track.

Got the ugliest bike award out on the rail trail this morning.
But was worth it, as was wet as fark.
Still nice to spin the legs over out in the fresh air.

Did a couple of laps. Nice having it all to myself lol. No idea where everyone else was.
