NotSoBigBen Posted January 12, 2007 Share Eeeeehhhhhhhm yes all my comments have been based on fork lockout not shock! Never locked the Stumpy's shock out, it did have 'propedal' though! Is that also 'lockout'? It still bobbed though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted January 12, 2007 Share Does it have a floodgate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted January 12, 2007 Share Unfortunately not, just compression damping (lockout) and rebound. Not remote either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted January 12, 2007 Share Leave the lockout alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted January 12, 2007 Share Ok I'll give it a go tomorrow. Let you know Monday how it was, riding all sorts tomorrow. First some technical singletrack with hard ups and some tricky downs then rutted bumpy jeep track then decent jeep track up and down and finally a wide open sand road with lots of 'corrugations'. A good test me thinks! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm outta here, have a good weekend all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARA Posted January 12, 2007 Share I didn't get any green & gold clothing! I had no recognition from the local mtb authorities because 24 hour racing isn't actually a sport. We'll give you beer' date=' and get SARA & Jellytot naked [/quote']  Sold! (am I allowed to be naked too?)  SARA, don't know about you but apparently they think ductape and zip ties can get one naked...yeah right!  hmm ductape and zip ties.....hmmm.  let me think.

MichH Posted January 15, 2007 Share Where did you ride BigBen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkob Posted January 15, 2007 Share HiOn the bike bar ends are good for out-the-saddle climbs, long open sections and geting more aero, also for tired hands on super-long rides. Off the bike the're good for airing gloves and hanging helmets.Tip: If you see the crash coming or feel you might hook onto something, immediately grab the bar ends (assuming you're not already in this position) covering the leading edge with your hand and push out your elbows. A scrape on the hand or arm is likely to be easier to fix than should you crash. This type of evasive action as saved me on occasion. This could be especially useful when passing saplings in a forested area.Bar ends are in my opinion worth their weight. Mine of course weigh less than 100g.  Scott shorties. Take them if you can find them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted January 16, 2007 Share MichH - just saw your post 'where did you ride' !!! Sorry bit busy, work and all that! Rode through the Rietveli Zoo farm (some technical single track and tricky up and down) then through the Hills behind Meyersdal Zenex (won't be there long, fences erecting etc. but nice hard loose up and then an extremely exciting longish rocky down) then off to the blockhouse and back (same route we rode part of once with you!) and back through the zoo farm again just for fun! Will be riding the 1st provincial at Phambili this Sunday can't wait, first race since Sabie Exeperience, need to use the silver bullet in anger!

NotSoBigBen Posted January 16, 2007 Share 7am is too late for me, gotta be out there by 5am else I get home to late and am not able to put in that quality family time my missus requires! Not valid on race weekends of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
