Suspension into Frank Pons for a decent bit of work, mainly to support my eating habit which has found me break the fat bastard 100kg mark.

OK, seriously, I can't wait, I noticed my sag settings were getting way too far out and the bike just isnt holding its line like it used to, damn I cant wait.

Gave forks and shock to him yesterday, suspension ready for pick up Thursday in time for Tuesdays CircuitBreakers... awesome guy!

Suspension upgrades is money well spent :ayyy:

[jasonbw]

Right there alongside Rider training methinks :)

[Bigdog]

Sweet, you should be pretty happy with it afterwards.

[Poyda]

Well worth the investment, but 2 days is a long time to do shocks and forks on a bike, should be half a day tops. And he's not even gonna set it up on the bike for you.

Will be worth it in the end no matter what

[jasonbw]

It'll probably only take him 2 hours :) But I did catch him at a busy time, really glad he squeezed my work in.

It only took an hours effort to get all that stripped down, I'd expect it'll take a couple of put it all back in correctly but thats not too bad, plus any work on the bike is considered 'fun' time :-)

Great that Frank will be at Eastern Creek to help out with the suspension.

Yep, thats the way to do it.
If you can get the suspension guy to fine tune it at the track your on a winner :ayyy:

[kellz]

[jasonbw]

Ahh, the suspension is back... and on the bike already.. wheels still off as I managed to secure a set of Michelin Pilot Power 2ct's... please pray it doesnt piss down on Tuesday at the creek :)

Now if only you all agreed in my suggestion about going shares in a No-mar tyre changer :)

[dungbeetle]

[MATTK6]

[jasonbw]

well basicly, the nut off the rear axle decided to do a disapearing trick 1/2 way through a session today, got rather out of shape exiting and then all of a sudden clunk bang grind rear wheel lock up, found that the chain was off the sprocket, and the cluctch has also decided to do a dissapreaing act to, i was planning on getting home, ripping it apart and assesing it to work out exactly what has happend, but, no money for some Jack, and just cant be fucked now:lmao: so i'll be doing it tommorow

[aussiegixxxr]
