I've got a 5k commute with a skate park in the middle, figured this is the best compromise for fun street but still cover some distance.

Slowest ever ! Tracking number supplied over 3 weeks ago, ordered on the 15th July... arrived today. took nearly a week to pack.
Slime yellow SLIK Graphics Next SL Crankskins, feel nice and thick, went on 100% with the heat gun.
Hanging in my new alarmed bike dungeon with the other 17 bikes.

Fuck this wind! Conducted an epic bike wash this morning, including polish. Then decided I didn't want a 7km climb into the wind.

Unfortunately the only thing I was killing was my dropper lever

Not mine, but threw the young bloke's in the back and for his first ever race. Vic interschools at the Youies. Solid mid pack finish. Not bad when he's racing a bunch of other 10 yos clipped into carbon SWorks race hardtails. Then got home and ripped the training wheels off the daughter's bike, because, "if I race with training wheels on, I'll kill myself, dad!" about 10 minutes later she's ripping skids in the court bowl.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Finally able to go out for a run now the rim's been swapped out and new forks are on. Set sag, fiddled with compression clickers and rebound then straight up to loftus for a few hours. Pretty fun ride. New 2.4 3C HR2 for the front, put the old 2.3 HR2 on the back.
Only drama was my forks haven't been lowered. I didn't think to check before riding, but they are still definitely at 170mm. So back to the bikeshop I go, almost a month after I ordered forks (two weeks to get forks, one week and abit to fix wheel, first ride today). Paid to have them lowered too, and they had to go to fox for a warranty on something seized internally, hence why they took so long for me to get a hold of. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Your arse must be pretty sore from all that reaming!
Rebuilt the damper in my KS Lev 'cos it sagged ~20mm when I put my fat arse on the saddle. Damn, why on earth do they use red locktite on some of the threads? Makes servicing them very 'interesting'. This thread was a god-send how-to http://forums.mtbr.com/components/ks-lev-diy-cartridge-rebuild-899659.html

Now you're stuck with the eternal dilemma - to pop the blisters or let them go down over time?

Finished putting it together and took it for its first run. Early indications are that I'll love it forever. A few tweaks needed though to dial it in.
