Didn't happen.I rode down the street to deliver some misdirected mail .
was only about 2 km , in the dark and cold .
but I really enjoyed it !
haven’t thrown a leg over since end of April , sorry didn’t strava it
Did you invoice him?'Dad I have a CX race tomorrow, can we look at the CX as its the pads are rubbing at the back'
The National Cup race a few weeks back had 5 days of rain before it and belted down on the day, proper CX weather.
Pads front and back on actual steel backing, where he hung it after hosing it down, the pads had welded themselves to the rotors with rust.
Go to turn the pedals... WTF ! Drive side bearing so seized that the complete bearing is spinning in the pressfit cup
So 90 mins hours later...
2 sets of new brake pads (one set was already slightly used from the spares as I had no new ones left for SRAM Red)
2 x new Centreline rotors (AliExp arguably genuine)
1 x Token Ceramic BB386EVO that I bought years ago cheap just-in-case, as I had 2 bikes with 386EVO BB's at the time.
Cant invoice one who has money when the other breaks just as much and has 0.26c in his bank.Did you invoice him?
$10 he comes back complaining about something on the bike.'Dad I have a CX race tomorrow, can we look at the CX as the pads are rubbing at the back'

Shit m8, u can pack a lot of the devils lettuce in that frame bagDay off today. I was told I’m disruptive for the school routine so was pretty much forced to hit the trails.
Started at Mundaring Weir Hotel and headed out to Kalamunda from there. Was foggy to begin with and then the sun came out. Trails were absolutely mint after rain yesterday.
24km and 500m vert.

Broken AXS?View attachment 390638
Single speeding the Bird while I wait for SRAM warranty service and found some new trails. Lots of hand cut single track with a few big features that are way above my ability but always fun to try new things.
Yeah no clutch on the mech, hopefully it's just a replacement.Broken AXS?
The plot thickens... we get to the CX race "I cant clip in to my pedal"I did send him around the block to bed his new pads and rotors in and he said all felt good.
Lol. Sorry, I'm backing the boy. You told him to bed his brakes in not check his pedals!The plot thickens... we get to the CX race "I cant clip in to my pedal"
WTF mate, your pedal is the wrong way around.
We had rebuilt a few Time ATAC pedals from broken ones, somehow the cage from a left pedal ended up on the spindle of a right (Fckwit thread worthy) but I'll blame my 2 helpers for that mess up.
"But you took it for a test ride around the block to bed your brakes in, how did you not notice ?"
"I wore my runners"

Pedal off my bike in the middle of the parklands, my plans of a parklands city loop abandoned.
Just wear your runners, all good.The plot thickens... we get to the CX race "I cant clip in to my pedal"

Could've been worse. He could have gone out racing with shit tyres.The plot thickens... we get to the CX race "I cant clip in to my pedal"
