Yeah, I snuck in a LTR too.Little bit of grand lunchtime faffery.
Lunch time rides are an honour and not to be taken lightly. Get out and enjoy because you won't have it forever.Yeah, I snuck in a LTR too.
Might take a bit of time to wear in? Saying that, my new fangled 1 x 11 is quite nice and shifts damn well. The lack of noise is nice and i'm not dumping on the loss of the front derailleur keeping it quiet but the clutched rear mech definitely helps keep things straight and under tension. I will never get used to the bendy looking chainlines in the highest or lowest gears though - looks like crosschaining to the extreme.I'd been Cyclingdeal shopping this morning too, and picked up a few bits and bobs including a YBN S12 12 Speed chain to try out on my new ZTTO cassette which was changing gears very ornerarily. I was going to order a ZTTO chain to see if that improved things, but a few internet people were saying they were just rebranded YBN, so off to Cyclingdeal I go. Anyway, it definitely shifts better, I wouldn’t say it was perfect, but definitely an improvement. Just looking at the YBN, it makes the NX look pretty agricultural. Anyway, fingers crossed, it keeps on keeping on.
They told me there’d be a frame only option in AU with the 2020s. No such luck with the Meta TR yet it seems ...2020 Commencal Range live on Aussie site!

Love a new trail. Looks a bit Blair Witch in those parts sirAlways looking for somewhere different to ride, and today it was Trailforks to the rescue. So, we rode Rokeby, for the first time, which is only an hour from home. Just natural bush trails, all starting and/or finishing on a rail trail. Lots of meandering, and taking one fork, then backtracking and taking the other fork.
Loving the legendary Trailmix kit. Reminds me of good times at Lysterfield.Always looking for somewhere different to ride, and today it was Trailforks to the rescue.

Lots of meandering, and taking one fork, then backtracking and taking the other fork. Loving the new bike. The was some fear and loathing with the wide bars and some very tight switchbacks between trees, but I think I’ll persevere. Had to park a few times as there was a few horse riders. Anyway, it was a lovely day, and it’s always good to ride somewhere new.
