Zig Zag to Hillend and back 7/2/2010

Salina has me more nervous then a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs about this ride, I had less nerves before the start of 4 day :blink: She is worried about my shoulder the conditions, shes a good girl.

The bike is ready, Mick the spongy brake and dragging sensation was a bent rear brake pad. So much for cheap brake pads, the backing plate has bent due to piston pressure :ohmy:

Crash is on his way here as I write this and Chicken is I am not sure :laugh: Boulder is chewing at the bit ready to meet us at 5.30, now if the rain will just stop :blink:

Will get plenty of pic’s mick as requested

hay tb genuin brake pads are the best if you can get them at the right price but are a bit hard on the disks(but they do last a lot longer if you facter that into the cost and i used to ride hondas)have had the same set in since the 4day gunuin ktm

I normally only use stinted EBC’s get about a year or more out of them but as I was getting a new rear disc recently and the other was rooted I wanted a set of run outs to the new disc turned up. I was going to finish them of tomorrow and had packed the new set to fit during the day if needed.

No compromise for quality Rocket, cheap shit doesnt work or last, get what you pay for

thats good to here TB have a set of EBC sintered metal pads in the shed braught for spares for the 4day but have not used them yet will need them soon . i reckon those wave discs that are the rage at the moment are hard on pads to

Sounds a bit like the leadup to the Caves to Caves Anniversary ride we did :laugh:

Remember the rain that night & on the drive to Mittagong the next morning :blink:
But we all showed up :silly:

[alanMember]
