  1. I had my bike picked-up last night for transport to Heathrow today and then onto Bangkok in a few weeks. This morning I got a call from the van man to tell me that my rear shock had shat it’s oil onto the floor overnight :-(

    Very strange thing to happen as the bike was strapped down without pressurising the shock :-/

    Anyway, I got van man to drop the bike at Riders of Bristol and they have ordered a new shock for me under warranty. Fingers crossed it gets sorted in time for freight out to Bangkok w/c 23rd of this month.

  2. Better it happens now than on the trip.

    The standard shock is a notoriously under sprung.
