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

I took the mulleted patriot out for a spin at Waverley today.

It rode much better, but I kept hitting my knees on the bars and the wedge swing arm really amplified the chain slap, making it sound like something was broken. On top of this, it also won’t fit on any of our bike carriers. I should have listened to you @moorey, but I didn’t. I’m going to put the 26inch rear wheel on and put it up for sale as a complete bike, unless @moorey you want to buy the frame back for as much as you sold it for. Oh well, it was a fun experience

Still a good experience, but couldn't you have worded it differently so you didn't have to tell @moorey he was right?

Maybe something about how I am a growing boy? Or blame it on the fact that it’s a 2004 frame?

Nah. Always user error.
The older models are noisy AF with the big hollow swing arm. You should have heard them before clutched derailleurs.

Oh I have, do you think I have a spare clutched derailleur?

What's that now?

Luckily I was where a full face or that’s how I would have ended up

Just finished my ride. Humid AF but dry. Nek minit, had to be an inch of rain and hail in 15 minutes.

NBD.
Sometimes you gamble and sometimes you lose! Photo doesn’t show the tommy marble sized hail or the thunder claps either. LOL.

That river would make a neat driveway.

Indeed. We spent $20k on better drainage around the house a couple of years ago….still struggles on freak days like this.

That’s his 7 tonnes of Lillydale topping making its way to the main road!

Nope never do…that was a wild one though. Glad to have just missed it on my ride. Youies will be a mess.

You mean down into the side of the house, and the dam….
Actually, the new stuff coped well. The old shite higher up has turned to powder under car wheels over the years, and all washes down

All I ask is when you take tray-fulls of gravel home from You Yangs, will you stop digging it out of the entry to the carpark? It's almost impassable at this point!

Fake news. I’ve been up at Lactic.

Dead calm and sunny again now. Insane weather lately.
