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

Free to good home

What about the first one that melted! Some scrappies made a fortune from that one!

Just needed a new rim and spokes.... bit like my el cheapo arc30 from crc.

Edit: fark, some of the quotes in that article...

Huge cracks in Melbourne's wheel of misfortune

Huge rips in the Southern Star Observation Wheel raise more serious concerns about design and construction of the $120 million tourist attraction.

Apparently Melbourne has the most skyscrapers in Australia.

Maybe if they keep trying they'll eventually fill in the swamp it was built on.

...that hasn’t worked in 8 years!

Erm, I went on it four years ago. It was definitely working then.

Well according to the owner of the wheel all those cracks posed no safety risk to patrons, so all good.

Maybe I just like to live dangerously, but in a semi-safe and tediously monotonous kind of way...

Yet...you rode Melbourne's wheel of death and lived to tell the tale!

 

[birddog69]

Sigh. I'll take it to another shop with the tool and try them. Giant dealer had a second go and said he took a bit off and got it better but i cant see any difference... Might have a word to Giant Oz about the $75 if i feel like i have the energy for it and want to be blacklisted from the only Giant dealer in Tas... And there is a new scratch on it.

Oh well.

4 Giant dealers in Tasmania.

4 Giant dealers in Tasmania.

And a fifth in Kingston even! Wonder why I thought the Hobart dealer was it….

I found a bit last night... And a bridge and a city.

Would have been a few competitive commuters who got a shock seeing that in the big smoke

5am on the tracks at Daisy Hill for 18km.
I didn't see another rider, had the whole place it seemed to myself.
Certainly a great way to start the day, even if it was dark & cold.
The 2021 Optic is still a cracker.

 

[Mattyp]

Fark yeah little Optic goes hard. Was cold as shit out today though... Jacket,winter gloves, pants... Still couldnt get warm. Feels like temp in the 2-3 range.

Heard from the cops today about my hit run. Seems I had misremembered the colour - I’d said gold, but was bronze.

They only looked at gold ones - despite also telling me the car they have footage of is grey/bronze. So instead of applying some lateral thought and reality check my memory (coloured a bit by being too busy sliding on arse along the road to perfectly remember stuff…) they unthinkingly went with gold.

Sigh.

That's some real Inspector Clouseau shit

It’s pretty ridiculous.

Got another Melbourne ride in. Hit up a few breweries, a smidge of single track, an F1 track, a toilet or 2, some beach and a feed (where I locked the bike up good and proper!).

Hit up a few brewerys

My kind of ride, regardless of the bikes, just about all the good feels.

I actually rode that small section of it yesterday, but unfortunately the bigger section suspended under the freeway from Footscray wasn't open yet.

I did get some more graffiti for @pink poodle though and finished the night with some all you can eat taco and half price jalapeno margarita jug action.

 

[pink poodle]

Delicious!

Spent last two days riding hero dirt at the local in perfect weather. Very unusual for this time of year.
Chilly 3 deg first starting out but soon warmed up once we hit the steep climbs.
Firebird got a good stretch of its wings.
