I agree with AWS, unless you have pulled your bars back so far you can see cable between the sheath and the perch. You should find the cable also adjusts at the other end. Sounds like it might not be properly adjusted. There is a simple process for adjusting this but differs from bike to bike. Do you have a manual?

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Happy New Year. Hope everyone has a really great 2015. No doubt winning the Rugby World Cup would help in this regard

Anybody going to watch the track day on the 11th? If so could you do me a huge favor and watch my kids when im on track? They are behaved but if I can't get someone to look after them I can't ride.

Gutted. Hopefully you can find someone.

Kartik and I will be going for a ride this Monday. Probably up SH16 at this point, but we can see on the day.

If you're lucky enough to have another week off work feel free to come along.

Sadly Im back at work on Monday. I may get out for a ride this weekend as Im back from Rotovegas.

So your looking at hitting The Redwoods soon? We had a great time. Some cool new trails where they have felled.

I would suggest a Hornet 250 one or see Rodger at Action Wreckers on Barrys point Road. He makes cables to suit. I would say it is just to shot and is pulling. I have to have one made for a CBR600 Im rebuilding.

Well Kartik was free either tomorrow or Monday, so we could do tomorrow instead? Depends on the time though.

I'm gonna be doing the Tongariro Crossing again on Waitangi weekend so might also go over to Rotorua on the way back to do some biking. You'll have to let me know what trails to hit.

Yeah today I may get out for a pootle later in the day. Maybe 3 to 4 ish. I have 2 tents to clean and put away along with all the camping gear. And Im pretty tired.

Ive not done the crossing in ages, last time I did it we bivied up there.

There are no dud tracks at Vegas, just depends what you like riding. I tend to like the technical stuff so prefer the Out The Back trails but couldnt this time with the kids. Will probably go down with some mates and hit the shuttles for a day. Have you heard about the 440 park in Hunua? I will also hit that soon.

If anyone is free tomorrow and keen for a ride hit me up. Because ill be going for a blat

**nzspokes** · 3rd January 2015, 20:11

I may ride tomorrow arvo but have been a bit off colour today. To much camping I think.

**The End** · 3rd January 2015, 21:05

I'm keen for a blast tomorrow too. Free all day so someone pick a time and post it up.

Yup, haven't been there yet though. Let me know if you'd like some company – I'd be keen. I'm a pretty average mountain biker though.

I've only really ridden around Totara, Hunua and Woodhill. The back section of Woodhill have my favourite tracks – Anaconda and Python.

Back to motorcycling though – I think I'll wait til Monday to go riding with Kartik as planned. Enjoy your ride tomorrow/today though fellas. I'll see some of you at SASS on Tuesday.

I will be at work and will not be able to leave the Z station any earlier (unlike last week).

Also after this my tractor is off for a major service and I wont be at SASS the following week.

Hope to catch up with as many as possible. Some of us are doing the Northern Odyssey and we need to find a date that we can all agree on.
