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

[agentninety3]

Over the long weekend, cleaned the bike, nicely tuned my RD and went for a sweet smooth changing ride and got it all dirty again. I do like the 1x10 with shadow+ now.

 

[nickz]

Bought these bad boys. Giro Jacket.

 

[foxpuppet]

Fitted some new answer pro taper carbon bars. Pretty stoked on the initial ride feel and how natural it feels at 720mm vs the 680mm I've been riding (which was a step up from the GULP 580mm I had on my old bike)

I feel your pain.
Been there done that, only much much worse!
your lucky if you got out of it with only a busted front wheel.

 

[Gspot-Sniper]

Cleaned it and loved my v10

 

[Camdyson]

Swapped my hardtail tyres to slicks, locked forks, dropped and flipped stem, added bidon cage, Added bar ends and gave everything a tweak. Riding up Baw Baw on the weekend and I'll never do it on my 39x27 roadie :dance:

Yep. At least my frame survived...

 

[frostty74]

Shock is in getting rebuilt so I thought I'd take the time to put my new stem on. I replaced the stock Truvativ T20 with a 50mm Straitline that I picked up on sale at my lbs. I pick my shock up tomoz, so can't wait to ride this weekend.

 

[Norco Maniac]

Rode the Kona to the shops as usual. Raced the midschool Vortex tonight for the first time in a couple of months and had a ball

 

[agentninety3]

Looked at it wistfully, and realised I had to go to work instead.

 

[moorey]

Rode it in the dark for a couple of hours, then to work on it.
Photographed other bike for splitting and selling.....I'm sure I'll regret it when pedalling my AM trail bike aroung the XC races...:noidea:

Wow that carnage above is terrible, but to a bike fanatic at least a good excuse to buy new bits

Today I rode my new bike to work again, then this arvo changed the wheels for the ones on the old bike which I thought were better. Why o' why is there always at least one rotor bolt that rounds out and has to be drilled!

I think this is pretty much it, changed the stem and bar for what I had on the other bike as well, I like the handling so much better with a short stem even if I am mostly just riding to work.



Don't really mind the Dart2 either, seems to do the job for riding to work, wouldn't be as great if I got to do more offroad stuff these days I guess and having had a Tora and Pike in the past I know what nicer forks are like. Unfortunately Hubby said I'm not allowed to change anything (he he I changed the wheels out from other bike as soon as he went away to work I think that's allowed), and he did say no swapsies of stuff on RBRN ........ oh well I'm stoked with that thing in the picture above and the fact I got to buy a new bike (he got one the same too, and I won't be changing parts on his )!

I think this time I will fight temptation and keep all the gears rather than going straight to 1 x 9 (where I live now is pretty flat) however it's mighty tempting to remove the remote lockout cable, not sure I see the need for it even if I don't do much offroad riding. Besides a coil sprung fork like the Dart is hardly energy sapping/

Wonder what the bike would actually look like with the light source shining on the bike, rather than from behind it?

 

[agentninety3]

Less dark?
