Big props for couriering it home on a bicycle!
Bit late since it was yesterday, but I have to tell anyone who'll listen. Finally fitted my replacement Magura MT6s and bled them. Only took two of us three goes to get them bled right. Easy Bleed Technology my fucking arse. Not to mention the final dig in the ribs, "you will only ever need to bleed your brake system once".

Did a fun loop of Lysterfield Park, so dry and slippy after all this hot weather. Managed to get some filming done then somehow stacked it on an easy bit of trail off camera lol.

It's Not Easy Being Green
Delivery finally arrived of the Microshift 11 speed shifter and derailleur.
Looks ok on quick glance. Shifter has infinite up shifts and seems to be only single, pull, down shifts with the front paddle. Rear derailleur has a clutch and capacity of up to 46t. Looks to be comparable to XT level gear.
I'll do a full write up when I get them on in a week or 2 when my bike is complete and ready to go.

Down on the left!
Was on the weekend but took miss 4 on her first big ride on the new first pedal bike. 4.5k’s. She Would have kept going but I found a slow leak in my rear tire so had to limp home.
Then rode Iride Apollo bay on Sunday and came off three times. Slight dislocated thumb but still finished out the day. Love that place.

My first mountain bike ride in over two weeks. Don’t often get that crook, that I can’t ride, but the dreaded lurgy got me and I was toast. So this evening, urbaned my way to some local trails and it was ace. Found a spoon drain that was like a fitness halfpipe. Good to be riding again.

Well done. I’m on week 4 of no riding thanks to chicken pox, with no end in sight to the extreme lethargy.

Bugger. 4 weeks, you'd be going crazy. Get well soon.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
If its any consolation I need a nap every afternoon too, and I'm not sick. Get well soon.

Update from Dave Turner on running a boost wheel in the back of my Czar
"6mm spreading isn't much for carbon, run it. Worst that can happen is it cracks, repairs are cheaper than new wheels and maybe it will last long enough to justify the cost of the older frame before you move on."
Interesting take on it. I've got an axle coming so I might give it a shot in the future.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.

looks very interesting, I like seeing more and more competition up against the the two big guys. The microshift cassettes looks to be in line with their competitors for weight in 11-46 steel or steel on ally carriers segment.

That answer is like the one I got from Scott Nichols when questioning non-boost cranks on a Ripmo.
I love that the owners actually reply, and they are not precious about their product.
If it works, it should work...

Yep. I'd already sat it in there and it didn't feel like I was forcing anything. I knew from the Canfield boys that they think it's fine on their bikes. Just wanted to check with Turner as a final precaution.
Good luck getting anything but a canned response from the big 3

Now I have my Fuel EX for the dirt I swapped some parts to transform my HT into a commuter type thing. I carefully checked out the s/h carbon fork for signs of damage or mistreatment before buying it. It’s a good fit to replace the 100mm suspension fork but has dorky looking proportions. Weighs sfa, about 850g. Need a bigger front ring and smaller cassette, this one isn’t a good match with the new chain, more worn that I thought so it slips under load a bit. Kept the off road front end assembly intact so it can easily be swapped back to fat tyres and suspension when needed
