Chris Harris replied to Mark Donnellan's discussion Cat 6 Riders on Shared Trails"Hmm, "proper bike". What were you riding before? a scooter? haha. sorry
I find ringing my bell very effective. Most walkers who are out when I'm riding are seasoned walkers who know the drill. We get along fine. On the way home I get…"
Chris Harris replied to Mark Donnellan's discussion Cat 6 Riders on Shared Trails"I think I'll be chugging up Springvale Rd for a few more years. And yes, I drop down a bit below 30 for some of those hills.. around 20 below I think.

Chris Harris replied to Mark Donnellan's discussion Cat 6 Riders on Shared Trails"Most of my riding is on the Eastlink trail where I ride flat out. Which for me is high 20's and occasionally into the 30's when I have a tail wind. If I come up on walkers and especially kids, I slow down. Yeh it sucks and might screw up…"

Trailside single speed conversion
"Thanks mate. Room for improvement next year.Have you done it? Or would you do it?"
AlexZ commented on Chris Harris's photoTrailside single speed conversion
"Not bad work at all for 15 minutes of downtime. Though the realization of 50km more as a single speed would have dampened the enthusiasm..... Well done!"
Chris Harris commented on Chris Harris's photoTrailside single speed conversion
"Hi Alex, it happened at the 50km point, half way. I fixed it yesterday and will put up some pics of what happened.
Somehow the tension arm managed to skip the end stop and rotate around. Which is why it was so loose.I'm getting a new one anyway…"
Chris Harris replied to Angela Parmeter's discussion Stolen SE OM Flyer BMX - Wood Grain"Bugger. I had my Floval Flyer stolen a while ago. I found it when some guy rode it into a shop as I was walking out. It had been re-sprayed and butchered a bit tho. Good luck.

A continuation of the first one...
20/2 2013 1748km. I put the bike together but the gears are not working very well especially on the larger rear rings. The cluster is wobbling from side to side because the freewheel is loose. I have put my spare wheel on for now which is working a lot better. I'll pull the other one apart later on and see what's going on.
Went for a quick burn to Diamond Creek and back and felt OK. I think my legs are recovering from the…

27/10/2012 2298km - I replaced my front brake pads last week because they had worn down to the steel. Today I changed the rear freewheel from 18 to 17 teeth and will see how it goes. While I had it up I changed the rear brake pads which were well worn. Apart from this I haven't done anything except for cleaning it once since the last update about 340km ago. I've been riding it half way to work and back once or twice a week since I broke a spoke on my 700c hard rubbish flat bar and haven't…

I thought I'd move my half arsed MTB blog here instead of fkdbook.
This is relevant to my Mountain Bike which is a 2005 (I think) Avanti Agressor.
I might start another one for my commuter bike which I also do a lot of K's on.
Any constructive comments welcome.

Jack said… - Hi Chris,
hope you are well.
I did not get a chance to ride last weekend so I don't know if it is finished yet. I can see some structure slightly protruding down from the middle and the earth beneath has been cleared they may be putting a support column there but not sure.
Cheers, Jack.

- I am going to try and get some vision of the ride up Mountain Highway this weekend. After that I think Lysterfield may be my next video. Will there be some good shots at Lysterfield and will I need to pay an entry if I just ride in for a tour of the park.
Jack.
