Here are some of Michelle’s pics from the day.

Me trying to think why Trippers bike wouldn’t start

A bit of tyre carnage

Fixing fixing

TRipper discovers his spare tube is in fact a front tube from a big wheel 85, those thistles were giving me the shits.

Tubes in and holding air,all is good.

Michelle has a thing for CRF’s

A pretty little place Fossil showed us.

L-R KRAM140, me having a bunger and Tripper at one of our many rest breaks.

I wont enter the better bike debate, but I will say watching Tripper rip through lantana at a hundred miles an hour was definately worth watchin:woohoo: :woohoo:

That is why he is called Tripper and that is why his bike looks like it does!!LOL

What is the story with the push bike??

[Mick DMember]

I am getting good at changing tyres now, so I will go to the tyre service across the road from my office and see what they have to fix the case.

Mine probably would have stayed up if I had a heavy duty tube in. But I didn’t and paid the price.

What a ride report!! It gave Lord of the rings a run for its money.

Yeah you are probably right……..:laugh:

I pulled the tube out of the tyre this arvo and it was in fact a 19″ big wheel 85 tube that saved the day for me yesterday.
I gave the irc the once over and here are the pics.
With no tube.

Here it is with a new ultra heavy tube in.

What are your thoughts?? Should I replace a 90km old tyre?

Sounds like the pee wee races we used to have at my place on Friday arvos before my spoil sport missus put a stop to it.

Anyone interested in my current opinion of the IRC??
The knobs are 6fiddy tough and are still all intact after 90km ,from what I can work out the taller side walls, although 6 ply are soft.
Either that or I am unlucky as I put a hole in the side wall you can put your finger in,in the first 12km’s.
I am presuming it was bad luck and other than that, it lugged up well and threw rocks at the other riders as good as any tyre I have had in the past.
On the upside they have a rim protecting ridge on the tyre and they are easy to fit
Although I am disappointed to have stuffed it in such a short distance,I will watch with baited breath to see if anyone else have a similar sidewall incident.

I wonder if it would give a different result if you had a road tyre on it.
