Converted the 29er to tubeless, threw a couple of tokens into the fork, and tightened the seat clamp after noticing the saddle had moved back a couple of cm during my last ride. Which I probably explains the creak I've been trying to get rid of.
Tomorrow it's off to Lysty with the boy.

MTB was initially laying dormant today, however....headed out to meet a mate for a roadie. 8 km in, got a puncture. Irritating but that's how it goes....msgd him to say I'd be a bit late to the rendezvous, which was 2km away. Then called him to ask if he could ride to my location, as my pump broke whilst repairing puncture. He duly did so, puncture fixed and wheel replaced onto bike. Rear derailleur cable then snapped! Called wife to come and get me, which she did. Was a cracker of a day and still only 9:00am so jumped on the mtb and did a lap at Mount Annan; not my fave track by any means but the trailhead is less than 10 minute's ride from my front door so convenience prevailed!

Lent my bike to a club mate for today's race as I was too crook to ride it and he'd broken his derailleur hanger the day before. Watched the race from the sidelines and helped with timing and the BBQ. They all came back muddy...

Today, I showed a mate from work around Lysty. Last time we rode here, his first ever mtb ride, he only just made it to the top of Buckle and near died from heart palpitations. Now it’s a different story… fit and strong and going for it. We started a lap, added some of Comms up through the rock garden, alas Aneurism was closed, so back to the return side of Comms and then finished the lap… he loved it. Then beer.

Na, he's found Dog... born again.

I'm making similar progress! Well done to your mate.

I've had the 29er dually for over a year now. Before that, I had a 29er HT for a few years. The Sight (which I purchased a couple of months ago) is actually my first 27.5.
Yes, I scoffed at tubeless for ages, but after seeing how easily The Boy was able to convert his Canyon, I figured I'd give it a go on the Sight. That's been working well, so I decided to go all the way and do the other bike as well.
I sure did!

2.3 Maxxis Shorty EXO 3C TR and Marsh Guard ordered.
Tyre - my front Forekaster is very so-so on wet clay despite being billed as a winter-ish tyre. And the Ardent Race is what you'd expect in the wet... So the Forekaster will go on the back with the Shorty up front as my winter setup.
Marsh Guard to keep some shit out of my face, hopefully - and so I can look like an enduro-bro. :thumb:

They need a furry cuff. Sure they aren't slippers for the pub bike?
Trance Advance 1 and Tuesday morning was a squirt at Daisy.
