Quite literally done by the book. I've got the Thomson instruction booklets wedged in behind my shadow board. I follow virtually everything they suggest. Greased the threads and not the heads. Torqued to 5.6 Nm (not the recommended 5.5Nm) with one of these. I guess that 0.1Nm shouldn't be a...

Super suprised to notice this just now. I've been using Thomson stems for 18 years. I fell in love with the Elite when I discovered the non-knee gouging design on the back of the stem. None of them have ever given me any issues. Always carefully torqued to the correct levels. Even more so with...

Sweet. I'll see how they go. Thanks for your help

@Ackland These look to be the correct items? https://www.amazon.com/SRAM-Left-Grip-Assembly-Black/dp/B001CK2E5Q/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=grip%2Bshift%2Breplacement%2Bgrips&qid=1672805559&sr=8-9&th=1

That's awesome. At risk of destroying the grips and not being able to replace them, I haven't taken them off. Being my first set of grip shifters I've never pulled a set of grips off. I did a bit of a search and saw a bit of 2 * 10 XO gear but wasn't sure if any of it was cross compatible. I'm...

The one click of index on the 3 * 9 set up made the difference between a silent ride and an annoying ride. Brilliant design. Thanks for the reply and the link @Ackland . Unfortunately the rubber on those grips appears to be going through the same stages my current set are.

Item: XO 9 speed grips for grip shift - left and right Location: Ringo East Item Condition: Good to excellent Reason for wanting: Time to get back out on the bike. As an intro I am keeping it short and real tame, cycle paths - hopefully at ever increasing distances. The XO shifting gear on the...

Aren't we just returning him?

Nothing new but interesting none the less. Mary Trump is Trump's niece and a psychologist. https://iview.abc.net.au/show/mary-trump-in-conversation-with-fran-kelly She says Trump can't cope with anything negative. That is how his psycho father raised him.

Completely. There’s a bit of bogan in all of us. Circulating the ‘bogan baby names’ link got me into a bit trouble with a few individuals at one of my old jobs. Was very funny.

It also looks similar to what Honda did in the noughties.

going to dig out 'Top Secret'. Can't wait. Watched Blues Brothers with the kids the other night. Great movie.

28 Days Later - still excellent.

Got one for the previous bike. It still didn’t get a great deal of use.

Fucking iPad for school has ended up consuming a lot of my young fellas spare time. It is a full on addiction.

Repurposed from my wife’s bike. Can’t get him interested. Maybe should start a new thread, What don’t your kids ride.

Reckon this might’ve been it. Timing is about right. Thought it was in Melbourne.

A rider died in what I understand was a head on crash with another rider out my way 3 or 4 weeks ago (Eastern Melbourne). Anyone else hear of this? Have always wondered what the outcome of a head on with another rider on the Eastern Freeway bike path would be like. Especially after near misses.
