Local Reserve Spring
After yesterday’s glitch a take it easy ride was in order. Spring is such a great time to be outdoors – green, cool and lots of water around.
Trailer Track Torque
Isolated thunderstorms with hail, sounded like the ideal weather forecast for a ride! I hadn’t checked the various bolts as per Schlumpf’s recommended torque settings for a week so figured I’d better do that before heading out. Maintenance, one of the joys of a geared hub.
Five Ten Karver Review
My Five Ten Sam Hills are awesome shoes, but for whatever reason my Schlumpf hub gear shifting technique has always been ankle bone based. I’m changing gears a lot more on the 24″ GUni, like a two speed dune buggy, and in the off road environment it’s often with minimal advance warning so to speak. […]
Swaby Lane Single Track
I headed out today to explore a network of motocross bush tracks running off Swaby Lane. Apart from a brief look I’ve ignored these trails in the past as they’re too far from home to ride out to on a single speed 24, and too crazy to enjoy on larger wheels.
Tubeless KH24″ GUni
I’ve been super happy with the tubeless conversion on my KH36’er so decided to go tubeless on the KH24 GUni.
Night GUni
I hadn’t dragged my kids out for a night uni photo session for ages. The 24 GUni needed a clean so we headed into the nearby forest for a night uni washing session, MUni style!
Reed and Bleed
I had a bit of a curse the other day while bleeding the Magura brakes on my 24. It’s not a difficult job but without an extra pair of hands it can be a fiddly process. I had another curse or two today, when it was my turn to bleed!
36er vs 24 GUni Virtual 36er
A 24″ GUni is a cool idea in theory – in 1:1.5 gear it becomes a virtual 36″ wheel. A 24″ and a 36″ uni in one small tough package, sounds great.
