(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

  1. Just received an email with the daily routes for our Pyrenees trip, attached in a file extension I’ve not seen before, *.gdb. The email tells me it will be plug and play for my XT2 :thinkingface: Easy enough to drag and drop the file and so far the routes look to be available to load …….. for now :joy: At some point in the next couple of days, I suppose I had better look at packing a bag :D Andy

  3. Worked out why my Gas Gas’ clutch was acting funny (I think the fluid return hole in the MC was getting intermittently blocked) and a change of MC seems to have cured it.

    Got the knobblies fitted. My guy takes ages to do anything as he likes a chat (as do I), but he can’t seem to walk and chew gum at the same time and after an hour he was still faffing around with rim tape on the first wheel, so I left the bike with him as I had somewhere I needed to be.

    Collected the GG from my tyre guy and had a final fettle, fiddle and general faff around ahead of this weekend's enduro, specifically putting a bit more preload on the shock spring as there are some big jumps and it sometimes runs out of stroke on landing (yeah yeah, I know that’s not really how you’re supposed to do it but there’s no other adjustment).

  8. GDB is the old Garmin format from MapSource (their old route planner). The program ITN Converter can change them to GPX files.

  9. I remember when ‘something for the weekend sir’? meant something entirely different.
