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

[Ultra Lord]

They all have an xl, but supersports hasn’t got the new 2018 stock yet after a quick peruse of the website.
I know he didn’t have many XL scouts left when I bought mine, and I got the last “long” pbj two years ago so I think longer bikes come in more limited numbers.
Could be worth an email, he was easy enough to deal with when I bought mine

Thanks JT, more than I'm after though. Eventually I'd end up with two downhill biased bikes...

We rode an old familiar track I've not done for a while.

Some smashing rocky single track.

Some fast fire trail.

Kudos to the bloke riding up as I took this photo, bees nest hill, a beast and he conquered it!

I think I hit 70kph in the middle section!



Then onto blue gum swamp, looks like double track not fire trail.

Well recovered after the bush fires in 2013.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Well done sir.

Wheels off old bike, rotors off and cassette off ready for new cassette and new rotors for the new frame.

ummm.. is that a crack near the hole you've drilled already?

Negative, slipped with the drill bit because I was too lazy to get my pin punch out of the Ute

Whew! Almost made it into another thread.
Also, I believe you have the MRP Boost kit fitted. PM me so as not to derail this but let me know how you've gotten on with it if you don't mind.
Thanks!

Derail the thread? It’s something he’s done with a bike. Speak up brosephie! I’m sure theres plenty who’d like to hear about a mrp boosterer thingo.

Had a blast out at the Youies. The Boy was signed up for the shuttle day, and I went out with him and just had a ride around. I seem to be improving, both uphill and down. I was actually really tired when I left this morning, and riding a bike was the last thing in the world I felt like doing, but a quick snooze in the car once we got there sorted me out.

The Boy's rear shock has lost all rebound damping for some reason, so that has to be sent away to be fixed. And both his tyres are munted; bulges in the sidewalls.

Went with some mix-and-match brake action today. Blew a seal (or something) in my new Magura front brake so had to whack my old Avid trail 9 back on the front. Left a magura brake on the back because I have to disconnect the cable from the lever to get it out and that was too much trouble for me today.

Sounds weird and shit but in all honesty it worked a treat. The avid has reach and bite point adjustment so even though they have a really different lever shape, i was able to get them to feel really similar and didn't notice them on the trail.

Win for me. Loss for marketing

 

[Boom King]

Got it pretty much finished.

 

[hifiandmtb]

Even Gwin needs cranks though...

Yeah I'm running a the MRP better boost adapter on my i9 front hub. I guess the best praise I can give it is it doesn't feel any different from before! No weird noises and no snapped rotor bolts. The best part about the MRP kit is that you don't need to redish your wheel

Where did you get yours from? Is there an Aus based retailer or did you have to buy from overseas?

 

[droenn]

Picked my way through a whole lot of puddles....

 

[bighit_guru]

Finally dialed in the new E DH bike tge haibike dwnhll pro

 

[Jpez]

Looking forward to hearing about it @Jpez .

@slowmick No good. Feels great on smooth trails but small stones get caught up in the seat stay brace and then get flung out in all directions like bullets.
Back to the a 2.3 I'm afraid.

I ordered from MRP direct. But I think Chris at Bike Brew is the aus MRP guy now. It was pricier than a wolftooth kit but you need to redish your wheel with those kits so I went this way. Takes a couple of minutes to go back to 15x100 and use on different bike/fork.

Not sure how much MRP ones are to compare, but I’ve got a spare set of these that work really well if you want them? Send me a PM if you’re keen.
