The Bike Shop / What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
« on: September 11, 2012, 06:49:14 AM »
Rode a concrete skatepark for the first time. I enjoyed riding the hips but the rest was a bit meh, small ramps so probably made more for skaters than bikes. Loads of foot high ledges for long high speed feebles.. Taking my pegs off as I completely overdid those today. Decided I only really enjoy riding trails now though, too many skaters and scooterers with no park etiquette. Considering selling the bmx because trails are rideable on my mtb :\ Gonna clean up the road bike today, its filthy.

Finally rode it with pegs on. Bit more fun as now I'm able to feeble every foot high ledge, and do sweet peg manuals and flatlandy 360 back wheel/peg spin things.

all i did was tabes, turndowns, grizzes and bars. fuggit.
All of which are infinitely cooler than endless tailwhips anyway.

Put pegs on and changed my brake pads for some clear odyssey ones. The brakes already feel loads better and grinding is fun at the minute.

Sasha/Fed Tom is a great seller. Free stickers and a drawing of someone doing a table, I shall frame it.
edit - oh and bought some bars off Kinchy a while ago, good seller as well. Both recommended.

Yeah they're small jumps, my mates are new to riding so we can't really make anything big at the minute.
edit - turns out the mud here is clay and it should be awesome for jumps. I've never built trails before so I have no idea if I'm doing it right but the first re-worked/slightly mellowed takeoff is looking nice so far.. the logs etc in the middle were already there so don't hate me for that haha. Makes it rollable for my mates til they can jump properly anyway.
here's a view from the landing of the hip that needs sorting out (left). Bit in the middle is a small kicker/step down leading you into the hip, just before that is the landing to the first jump. Lots of work to do but it should be fun when its all finished and set.

Been doing a bit of digging today. Me and my mates found some old un-used trails that need re-shaping and smoothing out. Pretty good to have a set halfway done that we can just improve. One of the lines is a berm > roller > tabletop > step down > slight hip > berm > step up. Gonna be fun. The transitions are really tight though so all need mellowing out a bit especially for my mates on 26".

Dad wanted to have a go on my road bike so I had to try and explain and demonstrate how to clip in/out. It was hilarious watching him struggle. He's out now, I expect a phone call saying he's fell off at a junction and can't unclip.

Went down to the track and actually learnt how to manual through a roller. I feel like I have achieved something worthwhile today.

Fitted some SLX brakes to my DH bike. Not sure on them yet. Lever feel is really nice but they don't seem to have as much power as my old Juicy 5s. Hoping its just the pads that need bedding in. The hoses need trimming and swapping over but I can't be arsed to do that today so maybe tomorrow depending how hung over I'm feeling.
