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

[cammas]

Let it beat the ever-loving fuck out of me for twelve hours.

Pretty happy with that!

Mrs George snared a couple of action shots.

Plus we met the lovely Mrs @ozzybmx

My mate was there he did the 24hr single speed, we use to come over for that race with the Kyneton high school team when my son use to race around 10-12 years ago; also did it one year myself in team of ex-students good fun. Really need to come over again and get that 24hr solo done

Took the trail dog for a run with a mate and his family at Shag Bay. Bit of a super slow first lap so the dog got bored and did a few Zoomies and burnt too much energy.

Second lap i was on a flyer and the girl dog couldn't keep up and i had to pull up as she was getting distressed.

Funny to think im getting fitter and faster than the dog is.

@Cardy George You seem to be stationary in every photo. Should try moving more.

By that stage of the day I wasn't that far from being stationary......

There was a few single speeders. Learnt very early not to try and chase them up a hill

I'm pretty sure mini @moorey hates my guts after today

Walking up the climb -
"It's your fault I'm doing the 5 stage"

I'm definitely in the bad books

Quinn could probably out ride most of us, before she was a rider.....she was just channeling her adopted father.

Been so long, I'm a virgin again.

You didn't check his time sheet, he didn't get far

That’s ok. You only seem to be travelling about 3 meters in all your videos. Should try riding the whole trail.

Just a single one running for an hour heats the room up nicely, a whole farm though.. heck no. "Free" heating in winter works out well though I guess.

There's more since this was taken, luckily he's got solar so runs the air con during the day.

What does he make?

 

[ausdb]

What does he make?

Cookie cutters and fondant embossers, apparently there's a huge market for it.
He also printed me a bar clamp bracket to go to an ispec mount but I haven't been game to try it yet.

 

[kten]

Hard agree. Much betterer. So how does silver CSU look on black?

 

[beeb]

Not that bad actually, better than I expected. Still better than the silver/silver IMO.

Was great to meet you too! Your Deviate is epic, thanks for the quick spin on it too. I'm glad I forgot to ask you how your Paradox is going so I can keep ignoring that I want one.

Red Hill was amazing as always. Be even better if I stopped binning it every time I ride there as after one particularly energetic stack I now have a brake lever that resembles bad origami. Kudos to Shimano though as the housing seems fine so hopefully I don't need to replace the whole thing.

Please don't tell me you threw yourself on the ground! #isthebikeok
Hopefully nothing more than bruised ego.

If replacing the lever isn't an option due to parts availability or it's not too bad, just hit it with heat and coerce it back into shape (cover it first so as not to leave a mark)

Some of the trails there are so sketchy in the wet.

The Paradox is sorely overdue a ride. At some point I'll get to Redhill on it. Might regret that on Crusher!

Nice, the lettering seems to match the CSU...leaving them swapped?

Yeah the black CSU'd LE's will stay on the Titan and the others are a back up set.

Washed it. Put a couple of bits of protection film on the cranks where my shoe was rubbing it...

Lengthened the chain id cut too short, now running two quick links.... Shimano 12 speed has a unique way of setting chain length id failed to follow... oops.

Found a spare sram b screw that’s a bit longer than the shimano one - needed to get b screw adjustment right. Have given these photos to the orange rep to see if Orange have come across this issue with the hanger when using 12 speed Shimano - the flat on the hanger needs to be back a bit....

Doesn't look like the derailleur is installed correctly. The b-tension screw should be hitting the plastic stopper on the fixing Bolt, it shouldn't touch the hanger directly. You need to position the stopper plate tab before doing up the fixing bolt.
