Ultralight rare Pace RC39 100mm travel carbon/magnesium suspension fork with handlebar mounted lockout control for the Titanium frame. Let the madness begin!

Jing bought a Reign this weekend so we went out to Loftus to test it out. We did the awesome little single track a couple of times, stopping to do the technical little climb (near the stream). We both had a fair bit of trouble getting up it without putting a foot to the ground (my shins copped a beating), but practise makes perfect. A thunderstorm ended our little session but we were satisfied to call it a day. We get better each time we go out, it’s awesome. More pics here

I’ve read about these for some time now. My mate Ben said I had to get one if I want to run single speed and ditch the ugly tensioners on my frame (which has vertical drop-outs).

This hub allows you to ditch the tensioner as the eccentric axle allows the hub to pivot to tension the chain. There are a few local lads willing to source one, and build a wheel for me, but it’s been complicated. I found an eBay store in the states that sells the hub, and they’re more than willing to build be up a rear wheel around an eno hub for around $400 shipped.

It’s sad that everything is cheaper from overseas. As much as I want to support local, it’s hard when local bike stores charge, at times, 100% on top of the prices found on eBay. Even some Australian designed and made products are cheaper through international eBay than buying in a local store.

Lovely work by Circle A Cycles.

My kinda Honda :) VTEC yo!

Oh noes, more headaches to come! More pics here.

Going cuckoo

Selle Italia SLR Flite Kit Carbonio (125g) 2nd hand eBay item, bit worn though but it’s a lot more comfy than the ass killing Tioga I had on there, lighter too.

Shit keeps coming in the mail. Got to stop drinking and then hopping onto eBay late at night, it’s fucking my bank account over.
