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

[Chriso_29er]

Hand is still buggered from last week's big off, but had to have a go of this while away on a family holiday.
First time I've ridden a proper pump track, so much fun.
This was easily the most popular activity at the caravan park we're staying at. Overrun with little shredders 99% of the time.

 

[Mr Crudley]

I've ordered these in 'Santa Cruz Tallboy 2 - 5010' flavour. I didn't think of DIY MTB, I'll have to remember for next time, cheers.

I have some fresh TRc bearings that might fit if you get stuck. Can only send the bearing puller thingy if you need and don't want to resort to be BFO hammer.

Rode the single speed. Saw some crabs.

Incontrovertible proof that all single speeders have crabs.

It's that the one at Healesville?

Yep

 

[wkkie]

Yep

Easily the best pump track from the Big 4s that I've visited.

Thanks for the offer! Hopefully I don't have to wait long to find out if they are the right bearings or not.

No problem, just let me know if it doesn't all fall into place.

Finally got a ride in between the rain on the Ripley after fitting a -2deg angleset, shorter stem, wider bars, and bigger rotors. This thing absolutely rips!

Definitely need a slightly longer fork, BB is lowww.

Gave the trails at Kowen some more love, this time on the Orange. Such great trails, still no clue why they appear to have been forgotten about by everyone.

I've ordered the bearings from MTB direct. If they turn out to be incorrect because I mis-read the listing then I'll go to my local bearing shop as I know which ones to get now (I kept the old ones JIC)
I used a blind bearing puller and slide hammer to remove them and I've got a bearing press kit that happens to have the correct size bushes.
(Edit: the bearing press kit is from Ali express and I haven't tested it yet. I'll pop up a review in that thread once I've used it)

I'll be looking forward to that review, Mr Guinea Pig.

I'll be looking forward to that review, Mr Guinea Pig.

Mrs Guinea Pig
Shall do!

"Duncan at Diymtb is also an Enduro stockist. And Duncan is mighty helpful". I can second that.

My apologies!

 

[Labcanary]

My apologies!

No stress

Glad it went to a good home!

BB is low to begin with, haha.

Next thing is a decent dropper lever, the KS lever feels horrible.

Is that with the Rage post? Can attest the lever is absolute trash, but my post also has a stickiness in initial actuation that I've just lived with. A Wolftooth or Shimano XTR dropper lever works a lot better.

Fun little natural step up out at Silvan that formed after the big storms 6 months ago.

Can almost hear it go "brap!" as the back-wheel dusts off the lander.
