Saw you out there. Fun day!Did what all the other nsw cool kids did.. Drove to Canberra in hope of catching some dry trails!
B-line @ stromlo is always a fave. As is ww/pb/DD.
We also went out to Maj for some late arvo shreds. First ever run on rock lobster. Love the pine needles on the track making for a party out back hehe
Sadly no, I went for my 3rd bike ride since September today. It was a long slow lap of lysterfield. seems it going to be a long road back to fitness. Think i'll aim for Summer. (or maybe the Ignition Festival if i can get my cash sorted).
If you get your cash sorted, build up your stash...a month of two of heavy speed use, some beats, and the bike will have you back on track in no time.
Don't notice the gaping difference in the bottom right rotor bolt hole? Their tap threading machine must have pulled out too quick or something. I'll either have to wait a month for a replacement or tap a slightly larger hole for a bigger bolt. I'll probably keep it forever so I suppose resale value doesn't matter that much.
I see it now that you've pointed it out, hole too big to helicoil is it ?
That's a bit annoying. I'd be hitting up the supplier for a remedy.
You might need to go to a different rear Tyre. It's a bit of a compromise but I run semi slick type tyres on the Am bike as I do a fair bit of climbing to get to the top and then need to climb back out.
Maybe? I did fit a 2.4 Ardent to replace the Hans Dampf that was on there. I was quite amazed at how slow the bike felt though in comparison to "normal"
Check the diameter of the hole. M5 helicoil requires a 5.2mm hole. If that is smaller then a helicoil is a quick fix. Kits from usual auto style places or Jaycar
Still waiting on a reply from Hope and CRC to see who has the better offer. Otherwise I'll tap a bigger slug into there or drill and helicoil.
Still a better day than at the gym, a scrub out and you're good to go.
William Howe Reserve. Funny, went out last night with friends and their daughter came with us; she's 25 and a recently qualified surgeon. She wanted to have a look at it so back at their place at 1:00am she busted out the surgical gear and gave it a good clean out as I sat in their kitchen in my undies, the Mrs and our friends all finding it very amusing in their various states of inebriation haha! Just as well, I'd apparently missed a few decent sized pieces of gravel.
She's actually the daughter of friends of ours, amazing young human being.
