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

[moorey]

My WA frame took longer than my Aliexpress order.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Needs more carbon wheels.

Some would say that when tempted for carbon wheels then one should not fight it and go with the flow.

Some would also say 'Why bother fiddling around with a Grandpa's Axe bike?'. All good questions but I only paid attention to the first one.

Anyhow, it is like Viagra for Big Blue. Silly lightweight now.

Just fitting in a ride before the forecasted rain.

Stem to Tassie...

Tracking is up the shit (read non existent) and surely something 50 times the size from China shouldn't beat something from Victoria to Tassie...

2 weeks from over the pond to here seems about standard at the moment. Auspost have been getting worse and worse over the last 3-4 years, what used to be a 3 day delivery from Syd is now at least 7 days on average.

Brakes are only for decoration. I rarely use them at all......Errr......

 

[beeb]

Brakes are for deceleration. I rarely release them at all......

 

[hifiandmtb]

If I put a big rotor out back, does it mean I can wheely?

 

[Rorschach]

My WA frame took longer than my Aliexpress order.

Ah, now I know what was in that box.

 

[Boom King]

Swapped out the DHF and SS on the Rune for Wild Enduros in readiness for a Red Hill spin tomorrow with @Ezkaton .

Quite the opposite

 

[hifiandmtb]

Oh but a big one up front means endos. This is confusing.

I rode anyway:

Dang it Bobby. As I feared, it’s 2013, not 2014. Suspected so by the colour way. No dropper routing. Bring on the drillium.

Was keen. Quinn’s shock was promised to be back today. Alas not.

At least it’s not carbon

 

[moorey]

True….but it wouldn’t be on my radar if it had been.

 

[frenchman]

morning wet laps followed by pedal and post regrease.

Sounds like lack of prior maintenance for sure.

Your tears are too salty for lube.
If you’d care to share your secret to keeping the grease in on multiple wet sand days it’d give me a lot more time to go back to wanking instead of rebuilding.

If you used the same lube for both jobs...
