Good to know, that saves wasting money on something I don’t need! The clothesline is going to be less obvious once I’ve got flared bars on and toe them in a little.

Removed last night. The dork disc was in absolute pristine condition as well.

That Ibis is still such a good looking bike. Great colour combo.

Wow, great score!! Giant alloy frames are extremely good, and the Defy geometry is comfy and fast.

I have zero idea about roadie geometry really, but it felt pretty comfortable. Did 28km on it today and it felt quick. Wasn’t really pushing but still had a couple of PB’s. Looking forward to getting a set of gravel bars, better brakes and some decent 28’s on it and see how it goes then.

Discovered just what happens when one loses a cleat screw at what was meant to be the start of my ride today.
Stopped for a second at the trail head, went to put my foot down and both myself and the bike followed it.
Brushed it off, clipped the foot back in and thought to myself 'that's weird, haven't done that in years'. Thought it sensible to at least check before I continue my ride with slightly less skin than before. Tried to unclip again, this time without weight on that foot and discovered I could get my foot almost to 90 degrees without releasing. Had to take my shoe off and then try and unclip it.
Ride abandoned after some effort in attempting to locate said cleat screw.

Cleat bolts are the same thread as bottle mounts so use one to secure you bottle cage and you have an emergency spare if you need it. They also work as brake rotor bolts in an pinch.
Does thinking about it count? I'm too fat to ride the 6 at the moment in 170mm mode with a 170 fork, but am curious if dropping the travel to 140 with a 130 fork would mean less pressure on the shock and a more appropriate amount of sag (ATM it's closer to 45% than 30). It does mean I'd have to get off my arse and swap the springs in the dj1 but if it means I can ride the dually sooner then maybe I should.
I also didn't treat it to a Bomber CR - just couldn't stretch to it this time of year which sucks, but hoping it might go on sale again for Boxing day...

After finding out the socket I machined flat for my Fox 40s fouls on the CSU casting of the Z1's (and removes the black coating, doh!), I machined a bit more off the OD at work so it clears the casting.
FUN FACT: That's "charcoal" Dulux hammer finish spray paint that it's coated in, then once properly cured it has been torched (literally) with a small brazing torch to really bake the paint on. Doesn't scratch off and barely chips.

Carrying an injury atm so no riding for me for a bit so decide to install a custom shim kit I have into my Mezzer damper. It needs a shaft clamp block. I’d looked on Shockcraft website and he wants $350 nzd for a machined bit of alloy. Yeah nah fuck that.
nek minnit, a few wood chips I have my own bespoke boutique custom made shaft clamp.
$350 nzd. Takin the piss!

Made of the same material as mine but that's where the similarity ends, yours is much more professional looking.
