I had a bent front brake lever the other day, didn`t want to snap it but it was bent downwards in an arch along the whole length almost so it had to be straightened.
I removed the lever from the perch, warmed it up with the brides hairdryer til I could hardly hold onto it :whistle: then hit it gently a few times with a rubber mallet. Had the lever lying on the ground with a good carpet garage matt under it to absorb any excess shock,

Result after three hits was a nice straight lever with no stress

Give it a good test out before you ride it eagle , Ive had two brake levers brake off in my hand this year (one had been crashed and dropped alot the other was new)

Gday Gordo,Whats the riding like up that way?Is there state forest or private?i is there alot of single track?
cheers ev

I spoke to Macca today and he reminded me that he also flipped it at that exact spot last week.
Its funny because you are well past the hardest section by then , it must be counting your chickens??
I have to disagree though Nick that hill is not a grade 5.If it was Murphs rides would be grade 10.
The goggle cam is ace but there is something wrong with the sound quality,you can hear this drone that sounds like a
sewing machine, oh hold on that is your DR:laugh: :laugh:

Sounds like a great ride EV.
You certainly have maintained your reputation as the “Murph of The North:. :laugh:

Hang on a sec , Ive seen some of Murphs photos :sick: :sick: and there was nothing like that!!!!
There was one vertical rockface, I rode around it then stood on top of it directing the others to the left DY rode straightup it anyway :ohmy:

There has been a couple of dropouts,so there 2 spots available (but remember its a genuine grade 4 at a 5 pace)
Also I should say there will be a lunch stop at a servo (so pies only ) and they might sell out , so bring food if you want.

I am a bit worried that if i take the luggage rack off i wont be able to carry my lunch with me :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

The less weight the better Rob, you already have one hand tied behind your back riding a DRZ :laugh:

[EvanMember]

Hi Rob your on the list,you will have to get rid of your lugage rack though,there will be nothing crazy on this ride but it will be very physical lots of really tight, rutted,greasy, rooty,overgrown single track plus some decent hills.
cheers ev
