Chain goes on the other side of the thing-a-majig
Every time the chain comes off it has to go back on like that first go.

Leave it long enough & it'll chew the thing-a-majig right off. No more problem.

1st offence: checking air pressure in the Pikes and managed to spray fluid onto the front rotor then transfer the fluid to pads for ultimate brake non performance. Remove pads give them a cook on the bbq, reinstall test it out all good.
2nd offence: whilst out in the bush hear a rattle that hadn't been there before, trace it down to the brake caliper and assume that it's the old pad cooling fin issue. After a few more outings with the the rattle giving me the shits I decide to take the pads out and taker closer look... that's curious, whatever happened to the spring that pushes the pads apart? It's gone. Old master mechanic here obviously didn't install the the spring properly & it subsequently fell out in the bush. And to cap it all off finding a set of BRM8020 replacement pads (just to get the spring) presented a bit of a challenge at the time.

I’ve got the other side of the coin. A head tube so long it is a virtualy impossible to buy a fork second hand because I need pretty much every mm the factory provided and people cut them down to miniature size.
I can’t help that.
Damn banshees and their tiny headtubes.

The real confession here is that you have three bikes that are all slightly different but equally eye-searing shades of orange.

I thought @Chriso_29er real confession was that he doesn't have very nice cable nipples.

He does have nice orange ones too!
Always thought, nahh don't ride enough gnar to worry about all these body part protections (helmet excepted)..
On tabletop 3 of 3 feet flew off the pedals, pedals took the obligatory opportunity to eat shins. 9 stitches later I'm reconsidering body armour.
Note: Tiny tables that I was basically rolling.
