Another spec’y fine ‘summer’ day, cool enough to head out for a midday ride, love this weather pattern! (more…)

Castlemaine and surrounds

Phew… the world isn’t flat

What a flat, dry, treeless, hot and rocky um err.. landscape — who would want to live or ride there? That was my first impression of Central Victoria in the mid 90’s, the mission being to see where my partner grew up and meet her family. Funny really, as I now realize that any time you have that sort of reaction to a place chances are it means you’ll end up living there one day! (more…)

I couldn’t get organized in time to join the Rocky Riders Australia Day ride yesterday morning but headed out later anyway hoping to cross paths with the group somewhere along the way. It wasn’t to be but no worries it was a good ride anyway, ~30km of single track. (more…)

I noticed some scuffing from the chain on the inside of the Mojo HD’s carbon fibre rear triangle stays a while ago. The culprit is the limited clearance between the frame and chain when running on the smaller cogs, adding in the fact that when you’re running on the smaller cog you’re going faster and the chain is probably going to be slapping around more because of that.

How cool is BikInventions Squirt? It’s frickin genius! Squirt is a waxed based dry lube that ride after ride, week after week, is somehow keeping the Mojo HD’s drivetrain bizarrely clean, gunk free while purring along quietly and efficiently as a good lube should. (more…)

Hard to believe this time last week Castlemaine was flooded in parts. No rain since then, just lots of sun — the tracks and trails are dusting up already, you’d never know it had rained at all. (more…)

Rockshox Update Rear Maxle Lite 135X12mm

Late 2010 RockShox started shipping an updated 12mm Rear Maxle Lite to address hub failures, most notably the Hope Pro II, when used with the tapered Maxle. The updated Rear Maxle Lite did away with the external taper, instead its consistent outer diameter providing better support for hub internals. Here’s an excerpt from the related SRAM notice: (more…)
