Said goodbye to 2021 with a shuttle day at Maydena. Managed 4 runs of blue with some of the easier blacks on my SB100. We were in the line for a 5th run but missed the cut off time.
Even though I'm building another bike I'm getting more emotionally attached to this SB100. As as a "one bike" person, being able to shuttle Maydena and ride a 100km race on the same bike and enjoy both experiences is pretty fab.
Happy new year!

Yeah figured it might be. Some big gaps there and plenty of opportunities to eat it hard but thankfully no lights and sirens today

Opened up my fairly new Shimano M5120 deore 10 speed derailleur. It was making some awful creaking noises shifting with the clutch on. There was little to no grease on the barrel of the stabiliser unit. Applied grease, put back together and now it's quiet. I used slickoleum, as that's all I have that isn't marine grease. I figure I might have to apply it more often than the recommended stuff.
All those tyres would be worth more than the latest crypto currency. Is there a PYR yet or still work in progress?

Used slickoleum on the barrel/band interface a while back and it only lasted a few rides. Ended up just buying some of the Shimano "special hub grease", and can confirm it definitely works much better.

If it’s not fixed, the groaning will be in the part I can’t think of the name of. The other side of the clutch with the main spring attached to inner cage. I’ve had a couple that no amount of clutch cleaning/greasing would fix. The inside where the spring is can get mucky and groan like my getting out of bed.

Lucky for me it was the clutch. Probably not greased up at manufacture, as I haven't used it much at all (this is on the non-kid-hauling bike). Mr Canary has the same one on his bike, has used it more and it doesn't creak and carry on.
Still a good derailleur for the price, good enough for this hack anyway.

First ride of '22. lap of Camden with a couple of mates. Trail in top nick but difficult to follow in some places; the recent wind has led to a blanket of leaves, and recent rain left some sections feeling more like a dusk ride. Oh and I ran over a brown snake, yelled 'F#$K!' rather loudly (me, not the snake).

It's Not Easy Being Green
Those tyres ended up being about $15 each!
No PYR just yet, I'm not @hambo!
I've only got those tyres, headset, wheels and bits still on another bike. The rest is supposedly around March.

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
Took the Prime out on NYE for a bit of Munda Biddi from Black Stump to Mundaring, really enjoyed myself other than the brutal road climb from Mundaring Weir. 17km and 350m is not bad. Makes me think I’m well overbiked but the Prime handles it so well. Finally making the move to tubeless has made a difference too.
Also got the wife and kids to come to the pump track and took the aforementioned Prime as well as the young fella on his balance bike. Trail pressures, no fork lockout and a huge wheelbase means it’s not the ideal tool for the job but holy shit it was fun. Just about made it round the main track without pedalling, not bad for my first time.
I can see something with smaller wheels and a rigid fork in my future…

Out to the buller epic trail today. Managed a pretty high speed off about 2.5mins in on some stupid quick firetrail descent. No tumbling, so relatively ok, but managed to bend my derailleur and puncture my front sidewall which made for some fun trailside repairs on a nearly 50km ride.
They don't call it epic for nothing boy howdy! That was some serious climbing, and punchy and tech to boot. Glad I did it, but still wondering if that fun descent at the was worth all the effort
And my arm hurts

Big ride out at lake Mountain for me today.
Four of us did the 2hr climb up from Marysville before meeting the rest of the crew for the trip down Cascades.
Managed to stack it on the last jump of the 50km ride and now cant hold my drink with my left hand lol
Nice Parma and beer at the bottom though

A beer and a Parma would go down just ace right now, you definitely did it right.Nice work mate, not the arm.

Went to make mountain instead of buller
Stacked at the end, not the start
Finished with a cold beer and a hot Parma instead of a warm can of coke and a warm sanga.
I'm feeling a little cheated here
