didn't want to start a new thread, so thought it'd just chuck this in here....
WISH ME LUCK GUYS - I NEED IT!
doin a 6hr mtb race 2moro at lysterfield park. was originally gonna do it solo, but then me mate wanted a partner, so i said i would as he couldn't find anyone else.
had a few last minute dramas from last thurs nite racin: track was uber wet and slippery, so i last about all of 5mins of the race when i crashed and buckled me front wheel and bent one of me levers on front shifter. to add injury to insult, frame bashed HARD against me stoopid left knee and couldn't finish the race
anywho, since thurs nite i've been callin up mates to see if they had a spare front wheel and/or SRAM X9 front mech shifter.... got one outta the two! was able to get hold of a simple XC wheel - just had to change the disc rotors on em. the shifters on the other hand.... decided to just race with 8 gears instead of the "usual" 27
was gonna get a new set of shifters, but i refuse to pay retail price on parts now that i've discovered
www.torpedo7.com.au (this company is nz based and wouldn't be able to get me the parts in time for sunday's race)
so yeah, preped bike 2day as much as i could and now gonna rest.
anyone else wanna go ridin?
