It's Not Easy Being Green
Shit happens...Sorry for leading you down that track
Maybe if I could actually keep the bike up off the rocks my poor mistreated wheel would be feeling better right now...
Was a great day for it though. Some different terrain to normal was good to ride as well.
And next time no cucumber!
(geez that sounded bad as I wrote it...)Good ride this morning after a storm last night.
Fell off on a climb due to slipping on a wet root. Full gumby still clipped in mode.
Also included a popular road climb which was fun stirring a triathlete that passed us after we passed him but then he started tanking and retreating to a easier gear so we uped the pace and passed him again just before pulling off onto a side track. Snicker snicker stupid aero bars.

No dropper, thanks for the tip, makes sense.

I patched my Onza Ibex tyre after I pinch flatted it on Saturday, I couldn't risk using it for Sundays solo ride in the wilderness because I was unable to get a good seal with the Mitus sealant on the trails. I'm trying some urethane glue on it to see if it can handle tyre sealant because last time I used some tube patches, the sealant dissolved the glue.

Latest experiment:
Was $7. Seems ok. Dunno if I’ll use it though.

So long as the dimensions are correct they shouldn't be able to stuff up an axle, surely....

Goes in smoothly, seems dimensionally correct.
My only concern would be utterly woeful metallurgy, but surely that would be hard to achieve.

Amazing how they wrapped a coke can around a wood dowel and got the black paint to stick

Hey moorey what do you have? I recently got the wife a bike but it's lacking a dropper only need something short as it's a small frame.
Cheers,

Installed an angle headset. Was a lot easier than expected given I've never changed headset cups before.
Only slight hiccup was dropping the shifter mount screw and captive nut which must've also silenty bounced across the garage and under my other bike. Took longer to find that than the rest of the headset replacement!

I work FIFO so am away from my bike right now but have this from the other day to look back on. I'd like to find a better mounting spot for the GoPro, some trial and error coming up. I like how it shows the fork working away. Seems to be using most of the travel without bottoming out

Started putting a few spare parts on ‘operation deathtrap’, for the state DH round this weekend. Last raced Mt Beauty in 2003 on an Orange, so it deserves a 2003 orange.
@Zaf the cusswit tried to rob me of the chance by sending me the wrong headset, but I used parts of it, with parts of another headset, to almost make it work. The ZS top, and really low stack height stem ALMOST make the steerer long enough...I never let the steerer sit under stem height...but surely one time, at a DH race will be fine
This will either become a PYR, a confession, or a crash pic thread soon..or all 3. Stay tuned.
Oh, and @dh1, hope you’re not in a hurry fir the stem...

Used an RDO to service a couple of bikes and take some glory shots. The commuter now has an slx drivetrain mated to 105 shifters, completing my transition to a disciple of the 1x cult.

New frame day. Raw carbon Turner Czar. Was going to wait until the weekend to build it but that ain't happening 
. Lots of detailed photos for a PYR thread to come

Nice. I don't know how I feel about carbon and Turner in the same sentence though.New frame day. Raw carbon Turner Czar. Was going to wait until the weekend to build it but that ain't happening

Indeed. It’s like carbon and orange...or banshee
Can’t go wrong with a Turner though. Nice.
