Wheel Rebuild

During the latter part of yesterday’s ride the rear wheel on the Mojo started to feel funky all of a sudden, sort of like it was deflating but not quite.  Looking down at it spinning around it had a fair size buckle, wobbling side to side. Hmmph… turned around and cruised home. It turns out […]

Noise Works

A ‘bonus feature’ of mountain unicycling is how incredibly quiet unicycles are. Apart from the sound of the tread on ground they’re virtually silent out on the trail. MTB’s on the other hand, mainly thanks to the drivetrain and suspension, can make a crap load of noise. That’s part of the trade off I guess […]

Contaminated

Thought I’d fixed the disc brake probs (rear stuck piston and front leaking fluid) as everything seemed fine during the 3 hour enduro. Even though the average lap speed at the enduro was relatively high, the max speed each lap was relatively low, with only a few light squeezes on the brake needed to make […]

Mastic Fantastic

Back in January I posted about some scuffing on the inside of the rear seat stay of the HD caused by chain slap. After some research I decided to use Scotch Rubber Mastic 2228 tape. Three months later thought it was time to review how the Mastic tape worked.

Scotch Rubber Mastic Tape 2228

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 […]

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 […]

Forget about cleansing your aura and stuff like that, nothing beats a Mojo cleansing!
