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

[rockmoose]

No one cares about the kids. Post pictures of dogs instead.

How about tractors with square wheels?

It's not an orange, but I'll take it. Perfect partner to my Suppressor/Patrol. Send me your bank dees.

In his defence, MTB is off topic here though.
PS, gutted you missed MB, mate. I'm still buzzing.

Yeah it looked like an awesome race! Props to Felix for the P3. Shame to have missed it but it would have been the 6th consecutive weekend away, was maybe pushing it a bit I'll be there for Nailcan provided I can get a spot.

I can't tell if the above is about you and a justification for never reaching full potential?
I'm not totally disagreeing with you. maybe you forget what I do for a crust, but I've commented many times over the years that you're a glass 1/2 empty kinda guy. Some days I think I overestimate how much is in your glass.

Hell! I’m a glass half empty sort of guy. For @Haakon there simply is no glass!

6, 7, meh....what’s one more
Yeah, busy time. Had 3 races out of last 4 weeks, now have 6 coming up in the next 8 weeks. Loving being back in the swing of the racing season, but it does start to get a bit flat out.

What about a red+black model? Only used to ride to church 4 times a week.

After lending my Xc big out to one of my friends, I decided that I needed to start building a new commuter

Better than kids.

FFS, we're talking about kids here. And kids working their arses off that will never get much attention for it, unlike those taking up mainstream sports. You could be the 20th best footballer in aus, and make the papers, news and celebrity TV shows on a daily basis. Ask the man on the street who Sam Hill, Tracey Hannah or Troy Brosnan are, and they will scratch their heads.

If every person knew about sam hill, tracey hannah etc could you imagine how many more shitty flow trails there'd be? They'd all be built to some shithouse IMBA sustainability matrix that you could ride on yaw bmx. Every trail needs a death double with a shark pit in the middle. Commit or die.

If they want recognition get them into road, or accept they need to do team sports. (But if they are doing sport for recognition I suspect they are missing the point of riding bikes.)

The side step to try Michelin was carried out today, cant ride yet to test any of them out due to a knee op but at least I can walk now and all the swelling has gone, which is good.

Very surprised at the beefy knobs on the Wild AM2's, pictures dont do them justice.

FS got Wild enduros, HT got Wild AM2's.

Grip for days. I have the Wild Enduros on one bike, and there are sections of trails that I have only managed with these tyres.

I don’t know anyone riding MTB’s for the recognition...aside from a glut of instaflogs and professional YouTubers.
This argument (for me anyway) has only ever been about the assumption that a kid who is a dead set legend both on and off the bike, HAS to come from a background of privilege, and even if they have, that’s automatically a negative thing and they need to be taken down a peg.

I know a place that if you spend $200, you can get them for about $62 each....for the next 48h anyway.

They are brake forces ones, they have a composite lever and a cnc’d calliper. I’ll sell them to you if you interested

Thanks, but I don't require brakes at the moment. But it is a sweet look. I wager it looks shit when the fluid is filled with spooge and air though.
