the sections were hard but that didnt mean i didnt enjoy them. I think every one had not to many hard moves untill the middle/end and that was good because even if your score didnt show it you still got a fair bit of riding in. And simon would you have enjoyd the comp more if your brakes worked, GRIND IT! if you have a drill i can give you a little stone thing to use in it. I have to give it to sean first though. Who is up for a big ride on sat/sun this weekend? Anywhere would be good, be it tuggers, woden, civic, belco or somwhere out in the bush with natural, pine island?

Hey Seb, try writing in sentences where you only use one full stop as opposed to 5, its really much easier to read. Secondly, when you actually try riding natural you might well realise that it is urban terrain which is considered boring by many due to the 90 degree angles, and the sameness inherent in geometrical features (I'm not saying I think urban riding is boring, (go the manuals) but I sure wouldn't say natural is boring).

Mals will take about 5 mins to fit a der cable however they are quite busy so they may not be able to do it right away. Here is my tip. Take the cable out, to do this put the shifter in either 1st or 8th, depends on the shifter, undo the allen bolt on your der and take the cable out of there. Cut off the crimp and pull all the cable through all your outers. Then take the cable out of your shifter, somtimes you poke it thorough a little hole on the otherside. Pull it all through and then cut the cable about 5cm away from the little button thing that held it into the shifter. Then thread that through your barrel adjuster on the der and put it through the allen bolt and do it up. Then pedal the bike while pushing up on the deraliuer so it changes up the gears, when the right gear is selected stop pedaling. Make the cable realy tight between the barrel adjuster and the allen bolt. Then do the final last adjustments with the barrel adjuster.

hey alex hmmmm, sounds complicated. i will be all complaining 2 mals coz i just bought the dereilleur a week ago and all, and they had better fix it ! or i will be cut. otherwise i will live with it on friday, i will just have 2 never change gears again until i get the new cable. and if it snaps i will stab someone in the head and then kick them  |

yeah those pics are really sad because we didnt take any on the actual comp or the mad ride before it, and i just pulled my camera out on sunday when everyone was gone or about to go, and everyone was heaps tired. there was quite a few people at the comp (around 25), but yeah, no photos sorry.

Seb,
If mal's installs a derailleur and the cable gets damaged later on it's not their fault...derailleur/cable installation is impossible to screw up, so simple it is, therefore failure is simply bad luck on your part or mistreatment on your part... not their fault...
anyway...yeah you just need a new length of cable outer from what I saw on friday...that piece of metal poking out of your dropout doesn't help with damaging cable either...should be OK though...they'll charge you $1 max for the cabling, probably nothing...
