Term+1



Here we are. Remember, remembered the 5th of November but there were no baby fireworks. To be honest, didnt expect any, most often first babies will go over term....

In other news, spent today fitting the M988 shimano xtr brakes to the jones....i also stripped off the 5 speeds and put it back to being a singlespeed. It was ace riding singlespeed in Rotorua again: i hadnt ridden the uni-cog in a while. It felt really good, so i'm happy to get the jones sorted. A new bike will fill in the (9 or 10 speed) geared race bike 'hole' that is left. More on that soon.



I decided to do a bit of tuning, replacing steel bolts with ti and aluminium drilled washers. Sweet as. The only problem is i seem to have sprung a leak between the hose and the banjo fixing nut, which seems to be factory fitted, so i might need to delay a first ride until i get that sorted. Dayum, these are nice brakes though....
