Yeah mostly, if I get the hardtail together, which is looking likely. |
I'm keen for shuttles, I'll Pm you my number
if you don't have a bike together, I have an Nzone slacker you can use |
I've never ridden a slacker. I don't think I've even seen one in the flesh.
I just need to find some large washers for a ghetto headset press, no major, probably find some at work. |
A rubber hammer & a piece of 4x2 will work at a pinch too 
if you let me know before saturday, I'll pick up the Slacker.

Done that too many times. A long bolt with washers will take all the stress out of it.
I'll text you if I have any troubles cheers.

Plus She is going to a very good home in Auckland.
The new machine is going to be a little easier to pedal around than the 42lb tank that the Fly is!

What were the track conditions like? Mud tire whether etc.
Does pondy, roller coaster etc follow on from billy t and would a dh bike be suitable.

I took my Fly down Billy T today, I noticed the weight on the pinch climbs, but you can take ANY bike down Billy T.
I was using Yioga factory Dh's
And yes, Pondy ect comes off split enz (which is near the bottom of Billy T, but it's a 15 minute ride up and along a road) But it's worth doing!
There were a couple of puddles around on split enz & Billy T, nothing too crazy.
