I'm glad to see you've made a miraculous recovery Mr White.Except phalaris extractions result in gramine extractions too. Gramine is toxic. So unless you're well versed in the separation of these two substances and have the additional patience, it's a bad idea. Just hit up some acacia confusa or acuminata and you're golden. Less time, less mess and 100% safe alkaloids.
I have some great pics of my last extractions that I don't think would be appreciated by some to be posted here.I'm glad to see you've made a miraculous recovery Mr White.

depends how the pollies get their jolliesHaha I am in the ACT. Is any plant illegal to grow here?
That could have been much worse if there was a B-double behind you...What a fuckwit...
Fellow Fuckwits,
It has been a while since my last confession....
Due to the rainfall, this year and trails generally being unrideable since mid-year I haven't touched the MTB.
Today was bike repair day (doing all the stuff I had been putting off) including the MTB.
Get the bike off the wall. Hmmm, that's strange drivetrain is frozen and won't turn.
The first thought was chain seized (was going to be replaced today anyway).
So undo the quick link, and check the derailleur pulleys and free hub are spinning (all good!)
Go and get the new chain, and sit down and try to give the cranks a quick spin... Oh dear, it's not moving.
Pull the cranks to check the bearings and the drive-side is roached.
Try the old pull-the-seal, flush, add grease but nope it's dead.
Spend the next 45 minutes googling trying to work out the BB type (thx Cannondale, turns out to be a BB386Evo for 30mm).
Order from SCV Imports placed and a couple of hundred dollars poorer.
Lesson learned, even if the bike is clean, don't leave it sitting for months on the wall unridden!

I need to improve my google-fu?That's actually the wrong lesson...

Did you end up getting replacement chains?I don't ride in the rain and a genuine hot waxed YBN SLA chain should be getting up to ~8000km.
All 3 bike chains are 0.75mm at approx 600km.
I called them out as fakes, the guy rang me and explained he had bought a lot of stuff from this supplier and he had $10k worth if YBN bike chains that the supplier guarantees as genuine.Did you end up getting replacement chains?
Oh, shite, that doesn't sound good.I called them out as fakes, the guy rang me and explained he had bought a lot of stuff from this supplier and he had $10k worth if YBN bike chains that the supplier guarantees as genuine.
These chains deflect and stretch in front of your eyes when putting the gas down, they jump in the 2 smallest gears from new. They are fake as fck.
He didn't answer my last email.
I've went back to the original waxed XT chains on my Deviate and Spur.
Going to order myself a full set of XX1 rainbows for the 4 bikes in the next few weeks.
Found a little SRAM honey hole that has them.
I got my YBN chains for a good price from Ram cycle parts. They've been as good/better than KMCs and Wippermans from elsewhere. I haven't had a good run with chains from the big Ssssss.I called them out as fakes, the guy rang me and explained he had bought a lot of stuff from this supplier and he had $10k worth if YBN bike chains that the supplier guarantees as genuine.
