The KH 24″ GUni was missing one thing – my home grown XC handle bar. I fitted a spare handle bar I’d been holding onto today and headed down to the local recreation reserve for a test ride. The reserve is handy as it has a good mix of terrain and is close to home. (more…)
KH Moment cranks are bombproof for sure, but that probably also means they are overbuilt (and overweight) for many riders and/or riding situations. Especially with longer Moments you begin to feel the weight of each crank as they spin around. (more…)
Got a call from Kaos Custom Bikes this morning to say the 24″ GUni wheel was ready… AWESOME! (more…)
A replacement Schlumpf hub (#0226) arrived today, THANKS Florian, incredible customer service which is greatly appreciated! (more…)
I’ve started work on a small Trials area at home with the aim being to keep the cost as low as possible. So far I’ve collected five pallets, a couple of planks and some old pavers (for wet and muddy ground), total cost ATM: $0.00! (more…)
It was sunny and warm today when I left home on the 36’er. Within an hour dark grey/green clouds built up, then the wind, then hail, then sleet and rain… OUCH! In less than 30 minutes the temperature dropped a bunch making for a wet and cold remainder of the ride. Lesson: Carry a better rain shell during Spring. (more…)
At ~4kg the 36’er wheel is one big old flywheel. Feels great when it’s spinning, but it’s the sort of thing that encourages you to mess around usually looking for ways to loose weight towards the outside of the wheel as well as improving ride. (more…)
