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

Last ride with the rigid and 29 up front for a while. The Z1 coil and 27.5 will be making a comeback.

Fucking LOL my cousin forgot to bring his shoes so he rode in his slippers. I made sure to point this out to all riders we came across today for the lols. #SOASIAN

My cousin Adam. He gets better with every ride. Bike might be a bit long for him as he's rolled his bars back by a lot, and he's also pointed his brake levers way up. I might lend him some riser bars with bigger sweep and see how he likes them.

Great day for a ride though despite more traffic, riders and hikers being a weekend!

Maybe he's watched some Frenchies on YouTube with super flat levers.

Show him this mate.
 
Camped at Glenmaggie on the lake.

Rode the north side of Blores. Very shaley and sketchy, but that’s sorta fun. Sue was bleating a bit, ha ha. She still handled it no worries though.

Did the creek section of BMT twice, really fantastic… and Wednesday was great too.

Then a countery and beer at the Newry pub.

Ace.

This is too good 😂

Built questionable carbon rim up into a wheel today, but so far hasn't been the rim that failed.. brass Pillar nipple sheared just under the wrench flats before it was even up to tension?? That's a new one.

Quick ochain vs e13 sidekick hub review: The ochain is better.

Shakedown ride of the new bike (also at Loftus - didn’t see @Justin Fox and his mate Slippers though).

Feels about 80% there. I need some fine tuning on levers and controls, and need to get used to the feel of a new frame. Definitely liking a little extra squish.

Getting a top out thunk on the fork. It’s got a push acs3 coil in it, so will need to drop the lowers and take a look. If anyone has tips or has had the same thing before, I’m open to advice. Probably good to freshen up the oil anyway.

Rebound too fast?

He's going to get better,until he slips off a pedal on a drop and bites his tongue off and the he'll give it all away.

Be a mate and buy him a mouth guard...stitches in the tongue hurt like f*ck...speaking from experience (but the wound does heal fast)
 
Sniffed some acid and removed some gold...

Was aiming for darker, but not using the right chemicals and didn't want to wait for the right stuff.

Better than fools gold all the same.

Edit: Definitely, left it a little long but the beers were tasty
