Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[warewolf]

I didn't get lapped until at least 1km into the 1st lap.

And what a first lap it was!

A bit boring really...

Wish I had a helmet cam for that one...

[Padmei]

If it's back out at Lamb valley it'll be at least softer to land on than the forest or maunga. Lot of steep grassy/ dry clay downhills I expect.
I'm looking forward to it.
might need a few supporters to dress really provocatively & prance around... anyone here had any experience dressing up like a ladyboy??? Anyone???

[NordieBoy]

Damn. Got to go to a BBQ lunch at Rabbit Island.

[Woodman]

Okay, any of you guys have some ideas on how to seal up the fuel taps on my Safari tank? The gaskets they supplied for the taps lasted 3 days before they disintegrated. Have tried PTFE and then paper + loctite 518, both have not done the trick. Can't find anyone that can sell me viton sheet that i can cut to shape, running out of options here and the standard tank range is rubbish on my XR

o-ring?

Gasket maker left to cure for a few hours before doing up?

[madmartin]

they have an o-ring that seals to an alloy plate, which then seals against the crude oblong hole in the tank with a gasket, the gasket seems to be the bit that's failing. The last attempt was left 2 hours to set (loctite say's half an hour is adequate). Seems a hell of a lot of trouble to go to just to get the range for the molesworth run. Kinda tempted to put the stocker back on it. At least that kept the petrol on the inside!

[NordieBoy]

Only need 200km for the Molesworth.

I feel your pain. Nothing more annoying than seeing petrol drip out

How old is it? warantee perhaps? Id contact them direct or take it to a plastics place to get it right incase it gets worserer.

Yeah if new, warranty job surely. And/or do they sell spare parts?

[warewolf]

Anyone up for a ride on Saturday morning? First time I have some riding time in for ages. Thinking Hori Bay, as I've done very little exploring out that way off piste.

Well I couldn't do today either due to family illness, so I'm keen for tomorrow.

Probably, if dry. Not a shit show in hell if it's wet... if they run it on the parts I've ridden before. However, should be an awesome venue, I've always enjoyed riding out there, even on a bad day.
