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

[Oddjob]

Sorry for spamming the thread - but I got more motivated than I expected and installed the Hopes. I had fresh discs in the sizes I needed, so took the chance to install them with some UberBike Race Matrix pads (as recommended by @Oddjob if I remember correctly) to try and keep the gentle initial pad contact of the Hopes, but get a little more power further into the lever pull. Only put a 180mm rotor on the back though, trying to give the Recon Race a chance of getting some traction.

I look forward to many tales of mad skids and stoppies.

@Oddjob That is exactly the plan. Sort of. I'm going to run each chain for about a week (250-300km) then swap. Then I can wax all of them at once, every 3 weeks or so.

That chain ^^ was in the wax pot with two others. I was running the numbers thru my head and I reckon I will grab a fourth chain for convenience

Trying to hone in on my gig? Hitting trees is my thing get your own is the bike ok?

will pull apart the bike tonight and see why the cranks have moved sideways. hoping that the press fit bottom bracket has moved in the frame - not the aluminium insert that holds it...

Went for a ride before work - with daylight savings ending on the weekend 3/4 of the ride is in daylight. Weird. Feels like I'm late for work.

Had a lovely ride with The Boy down at Forrest. Figured we'd give the Casper Black trail a try. I dunno who rated it black, but I managed it no problem on my 120mm 29er (except some of the steep climby bits).

Must have changed. It definitely felt like a black XC trail with a raging hangover on a coil sprung Enduro bike in 35deg heat a couple of weeks ago.

headed out on the curve big day out sat, 80km of mostly single trk with some gravel sections, & bike path. actually enjoyed myself after clearing the traffic (100 riders) peeps kept slowing down for sml logs or if it got rough. took me 25km to join the leaders, then we had a good time. they dumped me on a bit of the eastern bike path on way home, as i was on the SS. did enjoy one guy on a cd bike getting both wheels caught up on some tree roots, bike completely stoppped & he went over

I'm curious about the route if you'd like to share. Starting near the pipe bridge to Hans & back is a bit over 50kms for me, where is the 80, or some did 100kms I believe, come from? Would've been fun if I could keep up & trails are spot on atm.

That’s a nice penis map.

That’s a nice penis map.

You probably should talk to a doctor if that resembles your penis

Wrong Felix...mine got a respectable 5th today. That other Felix is slick.

Doh. Silly me saw Felix name in first and thought holy hell don't think I even looked at other names. Good work super solid result with 5th at nationals though.

 

[moorey]

Cheers mate. He’s pushing for an ever better result on Wednesday for Oceanias, but it’s a big ask. Track is insane in spots. Not sure I could ride much of it myself

All packed snug in an Evoc, ready for a 6:10 AM flight to Hobart. Maydena, here we come!

 

[pink poodle]

Fitted new grip onto new bars, swapped stems, adjusted stack height, inflated tyres, lubed chains...didn't take any photos.

 

[nzhumpy]

Packed it into the Evoc bag in readiness for Tuesday's flight to Hobart.

Did you pack it twice ?

 

[Cardy George]

Wouldn't you? I'd pack it a third time to make sure I hadn't forgot anything going to a place like that!
