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

[Ultra Lord]

Greased pivots, loctite’d pivot threads and assembled freshly rubbed down frame.
Gave bolts a good ol’ torque, exactly one half turn from snap then back off a quarter.

Rode the hardtail around in the cold and the dark this morning. Pulled apart my enduro and put the bits in a box to send to NSD tonight in the cold and the dark. I see a trend here.

Finally went out again, to Superbowl in Nowra.
Have decided I'm going to enter a novice race this year, so I'll need to get out more regularly.

Having a kid means you get more for your hobbies, right?

Any gravity type riding down that way?

Coming down for long weekend....only new to NSW so have no idea what's around.

Armed with Trailforks and that's about it.

Todays lunchtime ride. Having an hour of riding and forgetting all about work... it should be in the LTIL thread.

Getting the hang of the new bike. Lots of things to like. On the climb home, I effed about with the 3-position compression (open, pedal, lock) and yeah it climbed better in pedal and betterer in lock. But, I am still looking forward to doing crime.

Back to work...

With the Youies madly water-logged and closed for at least another week (according to Parks Vic this morning) had a bit of a roll around The Hill MTB park in Geelong.

It was also the first run on the Covert for its new owner. He was well pleased... Then finished up with a brew or few at Little Creatures.

Waste of a good oven.

Felix is outgrowing his school steel HT, moved his parts over to the trusty old Chumba XCL frame that’s been gathering dust for too many years.

The Nowra trails are pretty XC oriented. Nice trails, but nothing you’d call gravity.

Have you checked out Green Valley?

I haven't but definitely on list to do.... 90km from where I'm staying... that's a possibility. I'll check if they have anything on.

It’s easy to keep it nice if you never use it.

Same goes for the frame I spose

You would be the type of bloke to get vanity licence plates

Oh, nice bike too

Ooor...be too tight arse to change the plates from the last owner
The Chumba was/is such a cool bike. Slack HA and super short chain stays way before it was trendy.

Ha ha... I bet you ride yours closer to the bikes intended purpose and design brief.

I feel a bit over biked, but at least I shouldn't break it, like I did the stumpy a few times.

Sure love how it descends though, and it's great having forks that actually go where you point them.

Ewwwwwww, moorey.

@Dozer
Look at what I’m forced to endure now the forum can’t handle a non-potato quality photo. I showed you my oven, please fix the photo’s.

Ewwwwwww, moorey.

Agree.

If your going to the trouble of PB anyway, try Imgur. Works for me

Just make images 800x600 before posting....

 

[rockmoose]

Threw my hardtail on the back of the ute, for an after work ride, but then just got the message that I'm roped in for school pickup duties.

On the plus side, my offer was accepted, and a Yeti SB5.5 turq will shortly be on its way to moose hovel.
