Thursday afternoon ride . Quite a few puddles around, went out on bike no 2. Eye-wink. Expect green by either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday , but by and large pretty good considering the solid rain we got 2 days ago.

Rode last night before the rain, and t was nice and dry, but 10mm of rain overnight will have killed it. 2 or 3 mm would have been fine but not 10. Maybe 2 days of good weather and all will be good again given the dry conditions last night

Tyres - Seeking advice

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi, I'm currently running the Schwalbe Rocket Ron tyres that came with my bike as new. Dimensions are 54-622 (29 x 2.10) on both front and rear. Rear tyre is just about dead so I was looking to change to Maxxis Crossmark on rear, Ignitor on the front.

Both the Maxxis tyres are 52/52-622 (29 X 2.10).

I don't normally struggle changing tyres having done so many times over the years (I'm 40+). However, I had a go at changing the rear tyre and the Crossmark seemed way too big in diameter for the rim. So I put the Ron back on, which went on with no problems.

Excellent as of Sunday - the little bit of rain had only an effect for a few hours and is now drying nicely. Bike is clean, tacky and slightly slow trails, but loads of grip if that's your thing.

Good riding today!-few little wet n slippery spots but wind n sun will dry it.NCC has graded most of the firetrails killing some of their appeal-most notably one from Sygna Cl Elermore Vale!-so smooth had Skateboard tracks in tacky dirt!

went through last night, and its a pretty tacky affair, very few puddles and no need to hose the bike afterwards. end of shaft is still a mudfest, but even Baileys paddock now has a dry line, twisties was fantastic, firetrail is still wet, kennys good, reload, excellent, even pump action is very little mud in the quarry and thats it.

should be good till next rain hits! - there, i said it.Eye-wink

New Bike

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Pic of my new Trek Remedy 9. Changes include swapping to XT 2x10 cranks, XT trail spd pedals, Blackspire twinity chain guide and new grips.

Went to Awaba today for the first time and tested the remedy's all mountain abilities by doing a few laps of the xc course then rode up mount faulk rd to the down hill course. Coming down was fantastic and scary as all hell, the course was definitely bigger than the bike, but I ended up walking only two sections which I was happy with. Overall stoked with the bike and cannot wait to get it down to Ourimbah's all mountain course.

Rode red loop and blue loop and there was only very minor puddles on the trail in a few places so I would call it green.
