    Pity the map doesn't show the track it says the photos are from 2014, but all the Codgers orthos are much older.
    You're starting to crank it up going up Codgers to the Firball skid though...

    You didn't munt the wheel doing one of the jumps did you?

    Seriously looking at, pulled tyre off and tape shifting again and the way it looks like its moving looks like tyre bead rolling the tape edge...

    Who me?

    What was I thinking?! Wheels should be on the ground at all times - ordered a pair of Crossmax SX's this evening which should have my bike looking pretty again.

    Starting to get some fitness back slowly, unfortunately Strava is making me a little anti-social on rides, I should probably save it for when I'm riding solo.

    I literally live 100 m from Easby - flick me a text if you're out this way for a ride (that goes for any of the NADS crew) and you want a post ride beer!

    Hopefully my new bike will arrive this week and I can christen it in the Richmond hills on Sat...

    Anyone know if you can lace one of the Crossmax hubs to a normal rim, or, as I've only broken a single spoke if there's some other clever trick I can do?
    I know a guy.

    Your username makes sense now. I'm suspicious they're not worth doing anything with as I'd need at least one (fancy bladed) spoke and an 18 hole UST rim. $290 got me a new (usedish) pair of crossmax SX. If I'm wrong let me know!

    People buy used rims??? Couple of Bontrager Dusters that might be looking for a new home.... at some stage...

    Im the NZ Mavic tech guy. You are probably right in getting that wheelset, was a very good price.

    I'm going to be looking for a replacement wheelset for the Kona Unit 29er soon. What Mavic set would be suitable for a rigid single speed in about 21-23mm?
    Stock wheels are 19mm and I want to run 55mm tyres.

    Spare wheels are sweet, saved my riding this week and new ones would have set me back more than my bike is worth!

    Cheers, there's a lot of Mavic product locally so I'll bet you're busy!

    I have a whole spare bike... wasn't worth trying to sell the fuel, its not that old but may as well keep it for what I would get second hand these days...
    Will offer up the bontragers in here then if I get Spank wheels...

    Kona Unit has arrived!

    White with artistic tar splatter and general lack of maintenance...

    Anybody watch the yak attack last night?
    That was some serious biking.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Sorry only just saw this. Sounds like Crossrides would be the go without spending heaps. Maybe Crossones if you want cheap.
