    Hey Madge,

    It’s all good mate. It was a great ride and glad you could come along.;) from memory I think TB drinks Bundy and Lime and I am not sure what Chris drinks but I am sure he will let you know.:laugh: :laugh:
    But seriously we all do the occasional school boy error but it turned out all good in the end.:whistle: I am sure you will have all the goods on the next one.:dry:
    Catch up then,

    Thanks for an awesome day!!!!:woohoo: 180km of great riding and exploring new tracks with the odd hiil climb and a little dusty at times, but thats life. Thanks to everone who came along. It was a great ride and I had a blast. I only fell off twice (while stopped,:( short man syndrome):dry:

    Some tracks are very boney/rocky and as TB has suggsted I would recommend to anyone wanting to do this ride to do yourself (and others) a favour and drop into Sutto,s and buy yourself a set of Michelin ULTRA HEAVY DUTY Tubes with at least a front spare with the tools to change one (if required). I put a pair in my bike and reckon they were awesome and had no problems all day, especially after the crap i was riding in sometimes.:unsure:
    A special thanks to TB for inviting and taking me and I can,t wait for the Birthday Ride. I am sure it will be awesome.

    Cheers,
    Lefty

    Hey TB,
    I have found an aquaintance/mate that will be riding with us on Monday. Can’t wait. I should be over my man cold by then so should be all good for a days ride. As you have said I have fitted some new Michelin Ultra Heavy Duty tubes from Sutto’s so hopefully we will be all good.:woohoo: They are alot easier than my young blokes 14′ rear tyre. What a pain in the a*#e they are.:angry:
    Looking forward to a top day.

    Btw the XR is looking good and ready to go.

    Cheers,

    Hey TB,

    You know i don’t have mates, I only have aquaintences. Because mates want to borrow your Car, Misses or worst still “BIKE” and they all usually come back F*#!$d. So am am still trying to organise an aquaintence. Will let you know tommorrow.

    Cheers

    in reply to: Floating versus Fixed #195123

    That’s right, it does help reduce pad knock off. Coming from a racing back ground……… The advantage of floating v,s fixed is that a fixed rotor is more likely to warp with extreme heat then creating pad knock off. Where as a floating rotor has room for expansion and contraction and is less likely to warp. Particularly if you are really hard on the picks then come into a deep creek crossing. The fixed rotor may warp due to the sudden quenching from the water. Floating are good for hard core fast guys. Not for wood-ducks like me.
    Hope this helps.

    Hey there TB,
    I will try to get up on Sat if numbers aren’t too big. Just depends on work though. If not Sunday may be the go.

    Cheers,
