what have you done to your "bike" today

[NZSpokes]

You know triathletes do Wee's and Poo's while riding don't you?

They are strange folk.

Took the zxr for a spin, forgot how well it rides. Power wheelies from 9000rpm up to 4th gear.

Yes I'm also on the TDR forum.

Yesterday after work I backed the preload all the way back to the 2nd notch, it was on the 5th or around there, far too hard...
I also backed the rebound off on the front forks a bit as it was wound all the way in

Anyway after a short blast down a fairly bumpy local backroad its much improved, but the front (preload was already all the way out, Ohlins fork internals) and rear are still too hard..

I'm 12 (and a bit) stone, tonight after work I'm going to put everything at its softest setting and try to get the rebound right, but I think I need some springier springs all round

Cheers lads It hasn't really sunk in that I've finally changed my career, I'm hoping to be much happier during the week now.

Hehehehe

Haha well I look like a end of a bell anyway, so I guess I'm already at peace with that image

Yeah... I'm not entirely a HUUUUGE Triathalon fan, but the bikes are the shops main business, so hopefully I won't have to handle too many pi55 soaked wet suits

They have some serious kit in there too, along with a Bianchi with my name on it

push bikes are engineering porn these days......... carbon frames, Ti frames, electric gear change, aerodynamics...............only problem is mine has a crap engine

Wasn't there a pushbike pulled at a recent major event for having a suspected engine built into it?

Weird one this - as while the motor is capable of being well hidden, the battery pack, handelbar switch and noise would make it quite obvious.

Interesting article, thanks

Recived an e-bay bargain in the post...



Supprised there wasn't much bidding on them...Mind you they weren't listed as Gilles Rearsets just as VTR rearsets...

Carrier was Hermes...they did a fantastic job again...

[lloydie]

I was going to bid on them but then I remembered I already have rear sets .

Today I test fitted the torouno brake lines o got of ck ,no good way too looong .
Also tested the 1" rise clip on's and there too low .
Going to need 3" rise me thinks .
Oh and I tidied the garage a little .
Oh oh and unpacked my latest Mac package .

Saw those myself mate but getting different rear sets already.
He also had a decent shock going. Perhaps someone on here benefited?
