Pedro Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I will admit: I have had some wine I have taken into account Saul's themed "2am creepy squint looking down at computer screen selfie while wife is asleep" and "boys choir" comment and I will now behave as I have grown and am aware that all I say is not funny the next day 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Well I gave it some thought and after cleaning a load of crap off the rear shock for the 3rd or 4th time I have decided to go Hugger before the salt arrives. A nice man from Parcel force brought me a box of goodies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Going to experiment with raising the gearing a little. I am planning a TEC cam in the future but thought I would try the higher gearing first to see how the bike copes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I'm going on a ride next week, and considering the weather forecast might be iffy, I just fitted a rear mudguard extension. Spent a little time trimming the excess plastic off so it wouldn't be much of an eye sore, and a little 3M pressure tape to protect the bars from chaffing, now I'm thinking I could have put two layers of it This is with the wheel almost fully extended and it's the less clearance position. It does reduce clearance to the tire a lot, but considering these are TKC70 with 11000km I might still get away with fitting the mitas when the time comes. The main point of this is to protect the lower part of the shock, exposed to rocks and dirt, and also prevent some splash to the back of my boots and inner calves. If it doesn't get ripped off when going offroad I'm happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
