ChrisF Posted June 15, 2020 Share ..... As icing on the cake, took my first ride with my daughter when I got home. She's finally built up enough confidence and skill to do ride alongside me. Absolutely fantastic experience! 20200614_084815-03.jpeg That last pic is PRICELESS !!! This is the start of something very special for the two of you DJR and Robbie Stewart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted June 15, 2020 Share Took The Hulkbuster out for its first proper test yesterday. 20200614_084815-01.jpeg Went exploring some old disused mine dump access roads and pipelines in my area ('Capies have picturesque gravel passes, we have mine dumps, making lemonade and all that). Hit some toxic looking sludge-mud mine run-off that I thought was solid, managed to cover my shoes, kit and bike in gunk. Pretty sure I inhaled some cyanide. FUN! If very nippy fun. 20200614_075854-01.jpeg Ran into two vagrants under the bridge, seemed friendly but I decided, randomly, that I could use a 5min VO2 max interval... 20200614_084746-01.jpeg Still loving this bike, can't believe the difference in comfort, grip and confidence. Having issues with the seatpost sliding into the frame when seated pedalling on bumpy surfaces. Tightened up the clamp to the point where I'm not comfortable doing it any more, might need to look at an assembly compound. As icing on the cake, took my first ride with my daughter when I got home. She's finally built up enough confidence and skill to do ride alongside me. Absolutely fantastic experience! 20200614_084815-03.jpegfind some carbon paste for that seatpost - according to the bag mine came in adds 1.5nm of torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted June 15, 2020 Share My bike took me nowhere, not even the planned commute to work.Sliced my knuckle open with an angle grinder yesterday, its not painful when its warmish, but when it gets cold it throbs, plus cant really bend the finger without splitting the wound open, so decided to give the commute a miss. Next few days are predicted to be wet up here on the East Rand, so it may be a while before I ride again.yoh, I am so anal about how I use my angle grinder - safety first. I saw a guy cut 2 fingers off once. Scarred me for life. I even got a cordless one so that there is less to think about Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyronLab Posted June 15, 2020 Share That last pic is PRICELESS !!! This is the start of something very special for the two of you I'm hoping so! She's been riding alongside us during our daily walks with some success, but last week suddenly it "clicked". She's riding much harder, putting her feet on the top tube as her first trick, skidding the rear tyre, the works. Loving it! Garden route green - I have lost interest in all bicycles on the planet apart from this one I don't even blame you, its an absolute stunner! Daai bars is so breed soos wat paasnaweek lank is... Baakens Valley, Port Elizabeth Very cool bike! Haven't seen many Metas in the wild (way too hardcore for our GP XC crowd), but one of my favourite hardcore hardtails.

I even got a cordless one so that there is less to think aboutthe thing is, when I took the gaurd off I knew it was a bad idea, I still made extra sure which way the sparks were going to go, but for some reason the thought of my hand getting into the disc was not on my mind.Lesson learnt.

Hairy Posted June 15, 2020 Share Went for a lunchtime spin, mostly on green belts, a little cycle lane work along the beachfront .... while here we saw two very fit looking ladies running in the reserve area, we saw them later again and they showed us where to go to ride this section of trail ... little sandy, but nice and compact after the rains, twisty and tons of fun. Not the best pics though. Patchelicious, Prince Albert Cycles, TyronLab and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
