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

Video evidence? That clip's as spurious as one of those UFO "videos". Could've been a fireroad shown in fast forward!

PS: When are you coming back across to this side of town again?

Think I need to in the new year. Have two weeks off from the 17th so will try and get across for a twilight spin.

Heck yeah. Somebody needs to show @moorey what's up now he's gone all "Upduro".

100% his choice!

Can't see the Vice Captain following suit tho, he turns 13 in a couple weeks and definitely has his own style

Ahhh, a changeling with a sense of style and taste.

Moved the BB spacer last night (there was only one to move!) - a bit disappointing that my bb cup wrench mangled the cups a bit. That's what I get for using the cheap spanner type from my Aldi bike tool set I guess.

Clearance from the chainring to the closest point of the rear triangle reduced from just over 6mm to just under 4mm.

Much less creaking on this morning's ride, still some in 2nd and 3rd gear really cranking up hill. Gets worse as I got further into the ride.

Could indicate something is going on with the linkage bearings.

I thought it was a chain grinding noise? If it's creaking it could be the cassette or chainring attachment to the crank arms, or the BB.

Sorry yeah it is chain grinding.

Just be careful of frame flex with such a small gap.

How is Coondoo now with the rebuild ? Now that lockdown is ended I can start coming back down . Can`t decide whether to surf this arvo or head down there for a ride .

Bit of a spin at Harcourt. Also too hot… Stopped for a bit of a nap on a cool rock in the shade at the top of 7 - most refreshing

Whenever I try for a trailside respite I am plagued by people checking I am ok. It's very thoughtful of them and a good sign that people care for each other, but damn it makes nap time hard!

l hadn't ridden it before last week sorry mate. This arvo is probably a great time to head out there - I cleared a shedload of spiderwebs from the track this morning.

Today was exciting. Christmas came early, found this waiting when I got home.

So I built my bike today. Super impressed with Canyon so far. Inside was the box you see below, inside was a shock pump, a torque wrench (albeit a cheap one but still....), a set of torx and allen key heads for said torque wrench, the volume spacers, some stickers, and a water proof gear bag.

into the stand it went.

Due to Australia's nanny state rules there was a super sweet bell on it and a crappy brake on front but the good thing was the crappy brake came with a good rotor the same as the rear so I've got as a spare.
