Good luck with yours but going with what happened to the man murdered in Sprent and his killers got off I doubt your going to have a good outcome. This is just one of many police and judge/legal systemn fuck ups.
Not guilty verdict for two men accused of murder in north-west Tasmania

Rode last night (missus dropped me off after work) followed by the obligatory ride home.
Bought a new saddle today as the current one is fecking killing my arse bones. Not too bad for winch and plummet but the ride home is mind-blowingly awful.
Also haven't been getting on with the knuckleduster grips so giving some peaty monarchs a go. Backyard bounce they feel alright. Only colour I could get short notice...
Matches the hubs I guess.

Were you rocking one up grips or was that someone else? I bought some based on your feedback and they have been great.

Yep on the other bike, I've got the oneup thick grips. Really like them.
I'm a sucker for testing new shit, hence the peaty grips.
Otherwise I would've bought some more oneups. Definitely my go to for sure.
Be interesting to see how these go.
EDIT: It was a also a case of finding somewhere with stock of the volt saddle and the oneups which I struggled to do so, test pilot I am.
where are you riding? Daisy is probably closed but that doesn't count as mtb and everything else is open apart from a couple of trails they are refurbing afaik. All Mt Cootha trails running mint atm.
Waits for the next crazy experiment and making your own grips.
The one up grips are great. Don’t even think about them and have worn really well. The Deity Megattack and PNW Loam are on my to try list as well.

It's Not Easy Being Green
Not today, but Thursday I knocked over my biggest ride and first 100+ km ride.
Of course on the most suitable commuter / rail trail bike I could find...
The ride had a bit of everything, rail trail, single track sandy beach trails, cafe, brewery, snakes. Was a goodun.

Real nice ride of the west side of Blores today… love M+M and Wednesday.
Unfortunately just after the awesome creek section of M+M’s we came across a snake. It was a very small (2 foot) red belly black, and it was sluggish as… just sat on the trail, looked at me and after a few minutes of standoff it moved on super slowly.
But they completely freak Sue out… we saw one up at Tathra a few weeks ago and she’d almost recovered. I always lead but it doesn’t matter, she goes to pieces and then is totally stressed for the rest of the ride. After finishing Wednesday she rode back to the car on the road.
Not me, screw the road.

has some good things to say
Forty something kays on the dirt roadie today. The dirt I'd want to ride is still too damp to be accessible by bike let alone the ute I'd need to get there...

While out riding my BIKE yesterday I stopped on a trail to let the traffic clear and a Emtb stopped to see if I was OK. He then said I should get a Emtb which I replied " I have one " Gee I like saying that any how he asked why aren't I riding it to which I replied " I like riding both so I ride both" he was very perplexed. I told him riding both helps with riding both he couldn't get it.They both have different ways of keeping you fit.

Runs naked through virgin scrub
I suppose some people that have never really ridden a normal bike don't realise that it's just fine to not ride an Ebike. I know several people, including myself that ride both. It's no different than having an XC bike and an Enduro bike. Different bikes for different purposes. It's also the same as a guy I know that keep on at me to buy a gravel bike and that it would be much better bike to ride to work on. I'd just rather my Emtb.

Like I want to do the Bay of Fire trail. 42 km starts in no where ends in nowhere so I got a use a shuttle ahh crap. It looks like a 15km ride out at the end on the road (I hate riding on the road) back int St Helens. That's definetly Ebike ride.
