Rode Lysty yesterday and today… the not closed high side of it… Snipe, Blairs, Hug, Redgum, lower Comm Games.
Someone’s done a ton of work on Snipe track as it has gone from being a knarly rutfest to this super smooth berm racetrack… I enjoyed the way it was, but the new look is cool too… super flow.

Serviced the BB while looking for a creak. All good down below. Lubed pedals too. Cleaned and used carbon paste on reassembly of seatpost and seat clamp assy. Will go out and check tomorrow - got an RDO so can test it as well as test the roadie after hopefully decreaking the stem and bars. Storms around now and all 3 kids home to get fed and ready for school tomorrow.

Ride it in mud for third place in 4-male Esprit de Corp Thule Bright 24 this weekend.
What a fucking surprise that was!

Well done. The team of 4 looks to have 7 in the photo. Did the organisers ignore this slight difference or just weren't into counting and details. Good work sir

With the threat of another hot windy one, I got all soft and took the roady out for an end to end M7 blat. 85kms and back by 11am.

Leaking guide caliper fixed and bled . Rotor cleaned new nukeproof sintered pads fitted and bedded in . While I was at it the Foxy got new esi grips and a had a look at my DNM dropper which had been playing up of late . Looks like the cartidge is shot . Made a small modification to an X fusion dropper that was too long for the frame . Having had new valving under warranty and sitting in the spares box I decided to take a punt and cut a small amount off the bottom ( its out of warranty now ) . Now it fits nicely .

Yeah, it started off at 90rpm and went north from there in harder gears, I think I need a warm up for the warm up.

Fitted a replacement dropper to my rune since brad at trailtune decided to keep the dropper i sent in for servicing.

Dismantled and retired the Titus after it decided the bright 24 was a bit too much for it :Cry:
I've retired a couple of frames before, but they were due to upgrades, this one's been lunched...

Sucks, Planky! I was glad I was on my HT for the Bright...less to go wrong in the slop!

the ground provided plenty of suspension by early morning, pretty sure you wouldn't have known the difference between a rigid and a dually by the end of it
i think some muck got caught up in the linkages and caused it to bind up. It started shifting really badly halfway through a really wet lap and when i tagged the next fella in, i went to clean down the driveline and found waaay too much movement in the pivots.
One of the vendors was sporting enough to loan me a lapierre for my last lap though, thought that was mighty fine of them!

Great event wasn't it? Always good to have an excuse to buy a new frame though

yeah, great fun and super chilled atmosphere around the whole event. i reckon i'll drag the whole family up next year, there was something for everyone. nice to have an excuse for a new frame, not so nice to not have the monies though. i'm going to have to sell the tracer2 to fund something, its a shame but i cant justify holding onto it now. in the meantime, i'll be hitting up cycling deal for a $200 hardtail frame to get me by.Great event wasn't it? Always good to have an excuse to buy a new frame though
also scored a podium so it wasn't all bad, 2nd place in the mens traditional teams of 4 :shocked: beat 3rd place by a mere 2minutes in the end!
