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

[ozzybmx]

My Talon suddenly feels sketchy as fuck, how the hell did we ride mountain bikes in the 90s?

Modern geometry.

Drop bar it and retire to gravel duties.

Got out to Kalamunda today, managed to hit a rock within 100m of Black Stump and take 2 parallel gouges out of my inner calf with my pedals.
Not enjoying it at the mo, my front end gets caught up really easily in the rocks and roots making it more difficult than it needs to be.
Also need more ass cushioning.
Think a short travel FS frame with a slacker head angle is in my future.

What do you mean ‘we’, white man?
My first MTB was a 1993 DB sorrento. I rode it down stairs...because I didn’t know any better, and my body was 30 years younger.

I swear that's exactly the same bike I started on, right down to the green colour and the bar ends!

Took the Lyrik down to 170 and built the long out of service Rune back up again. Now with a new 2017 front triangle thanks to the very generous @creaky
