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

[rextheute]

Seems okay , will test more throughly tomorrow- hopefully .

There will be a pyr soon. Fyi - the frame is a wierd colour, not at all what I was expecting from description and photographs. I'm stumped on how I will accent things and have had to reconsider my custom wheel build.

 

[fjohn860]

Made some stuff.

Pushup handlebars Mk2.

And some bar ends to trial single lock-on rogues

 

[pink poodle]

That's going to hurt when the bars snap mid push up!

Finally got my Trance back together since its last ride almost 2 months ago!
Front and rear suspension fully rebuilt including new stanchions on the front. Don't ask haha
Man does it feel nice riding down my stairs, now just need to find some time to ride the bloody thing on some trails.

Now Barry will be enjoying a short stay in my mancave, so best I don't ride this until after he arrives haha

The grips on little Madame's Cruzee bit the bucket today with too many side drops onto concrete.

So, what have I got in the shed? Ah, a set of grips that were originally slated for the wife's bike (Purple/Green Spartan) but perfectly match the Cruzee...

The wife's away, so she doesn't know yet! [

 

[pink poodle]

Looks great

I'm still half deaf so can't ride, but I can tinker. So I put a longer stem on a little Orange Gringo I picked up recently.
I was just going to clean it up and keep it original, but shit got out of hand and I changed everything. I need to adjust the stem position a bit...

 

[Isildur]

Looks great

Cheers.

And in case anyone is wondering, the cable tied bottle cage isn't, as one might think, for water, it wouldn't hold that much weight and stay put.

It is, of course, the place for her favourite stuffed toy of the week to ride along!

...a little Orange Gringo I picked up recently.

That looks like a fun lil' ride!

Got out this morning for an "easy" 15 km loop down at Anglesea with @wkkie and a non-Burner named Kez. Was shown a bunch of trails I had no idea existed, and was left thoroughly cooked. Luckily what I thought was going to be a ten hour shift at work turned out to be just the regular eight.

You forgot the photo!

Was a good ride! A few new bits and pieces for me today as well. Some of those ruts almost swallowed me whole!

 

[Lazmo]

Yep, Anglesea is fun. We have ridden it maybe 5 or 6 times. Weirdly, I felt less confused years ago as to where I was, compared to now with all the signage. I may have just been more content back then in my lost-ness, not fighting it.

But yeah, finding new trails is mint.

Hey wkkie, do you always ride with 5.5 owners?

I fooked up and made a 1-second video instead. Glad we had multiple redundancy.

Thems was some big ruts!

(pedant response incoming) I think that's an SB6.

My son is suddenly interested in how I 'restored' my old bike and now wants to convert his mum's bike to 1x!

Last night he assisted me in joining the new chain with magic links and this morning, I got him started on a simple task to complete himself, remove my water bottle cage and fit it, along with a mini pump mount to the Talon.

He did it well and now he wants to learn how to fix bikes. Let's see how long this lasts..

Oh yeah I put the Deathgrips on the Talon for test purposes, looks good actually!

 

[wkkie]

Hey wkkie, do you always ride with 5.5 owners?

Yes, as part of my contract I always need a Yeti on a ride.

(pedant response incoming) I think that's an SB6.

Yes, correct it was an SB6.

Clicked over 2000kms on the ole swiss Giant

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