Fiji

Went riding in Fiji today.

Sketchy cheapo Learsport hardtail witrh dodgy gears and brakes, helmet that was too big.

Found some sick trails though, steep, rocky, loose, rutted double track going straight up a mountain ridge. Awesome views of the coast and reefs.

Be great one day to come back with a real bike and do some real riding. If my little outing is any indication, there must be some awesome riding around here!

I'm off for a Fiji Bitter now...

Time to return the social

When: 
Wednesday, 19 September, 2007 - 19:30

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Ride Database Entry: 
Oxford Falls (Morgan Road)

20km/hr, what tha? Time to return the social aspect of the midweek night ride. Where better to do that than Oxford Falls.

Close enough to the Tavern to head up for a beer after or bring one along for mid ride refreshments.

Start with Moon Rocks then back up to XC. Option of Rd to somewhere or little moab depending on group size and timing.

Welcome aboard Caro, expect to see you there now you have the lights.

Time for you to come out again Tien, and bring your wallet Eye-wink

Ev, where have you been, come and have some fun.

Oh the chain, the chain

Has anyone ever experienced any shifting problems with an HG93 chain? I recently swapped the running gear (except derailleurs) from one bike to another recently purchased (2nd hand), including my HG93 chain. All the shifting problems I had with my previous bike have been transferred to my current bike. I only swapped a new XT cassette and cogs + the chain. Talking to Tien, he said he had similar problems that were solved when he replaced his 93 chain with another brand. I bought a few of these chains from torp 7 for $20 and don't want to buy another chain unless I have to.
