I went for my first SS ride in BLFP last night. Jees! my kidneys can tell this morning. I've gone soft in the 3 years I've been riding full sus.

What an absolute blast, rail it round the corners keep pedalling and exit at same speed. Woot!

Guessing bike park riding tags. Bikeparks at Woodhill have similar things.

The DMR after the inaugural WCRC Dirty Riverhead Winter Ride yesterday.

I done rode minefor the first time today! :thumbsup:

It was at the Bike Jam with a bunch of kids, but it got muddy (and poo-ey. Who lets their f***ing dogs shit on a park, FFS? :angry:

) and I fanged around the course being barged by vicious 10 year olds and barging a few back. :sly:

I was looking like a legend of hardness until I started getting mocked by Hisky...

Great fun! Now all I need is to take it into the hills, although I think my 32:16 might be a tad steep at first... :paranoid:

I just fitted a nice fat new Sram PC-1 chain to my singlespeed this morning. Went for a ride at Couger Park, Tokoroa this afternoon. Lovely day.

Here's my Jeffson custom 853 with the latest updates...
White Industries freewheel, Thomson stem/post, Schwalbe tyres (for the Moonride).

I did something else too. I changed the set-up of my bike today, based on Ned Overends advice in his book "MTB like a champion'. Anyway, essentially I lowered my seat by about 3.5cm from where I have been riding it for about 9 months (you can see why I was a bit sceptical about doing it), also moved it back about 2cm's also. I rode for 2 hours, and I didnt have a sore lower back. Normally I would have, but would just pass that off as normal. Quite happy am I.

Hey that stem looks shiny Paul. Is it a 4-bolt job (I remember you saying you were wanting instead of the 2-bolt one you had on there)
