Sporty MP3 Player

I recently bought this sporty mp3 player online from beyondbikes. I found it to my liking after reviewing that this gadget is a waterproof and shock proof unit. Amazing huh! I can go around trailing with my mountain bike under the rain with music in my ears! ^-^ ahhhhhh! I can't wait to give it a try!!!

Revival

I am bit tired and dizzy tonight, while I was on duty at crywolf, I was also busy trying to revive my Deore XT rear hub.! Luckily the assembly was successful.. But not until it is tested! I guess I'll have to re-lace my rear wheel for the test!

Broken Wings

This is my Shimano Deore XT FHM 775 with pawls with broken wings, I'm currently working on how to make it's return spring functional without those broken wings. The wings acts like hooks at the return spring to keep the pawls stay in place while acting as a close open valve.

5 Inches Test

Yesterday me and The Escaper had a trail ride at the Tanghal Quarry it is a trail route we use to ride for a steep slippery and loose rock trail for a few test or practice for a coming game!

I manage to change my front suspension travel and improvised the locking knobs so us to keep the travel length stay as it is. And I gave it a test at this trail.

Luckily it worked well. And the best part I found out that my fork's bushing whispering a worn out signal! T_T

New Gearing Ratio

After the wreckage of my Shimano XT M775 rear hubs, I switch to FHRM65 a non-series hub of shimano that I think will do the work while waiting for a budget for a better pair of hub! I was thinking how to revive this hub. I think I have an idea to make the return spring funtionable without the pawls broken wings!

And while the alignment of of my rear wheelset, I had this road cogs in my closet that send me to try a new gearing ratio. I was using for more than a year this 42 chainring with a mountaibike 9 speed cogs. Now I am using a 32 chain ring with a 9 speed set of road cogs.


And Lastly, I bought this Woodman sitpost clamp today. I've been waiting for this size of clamp for a year now, after buying a frame without a clamp that fits with a 31.8 sitpost.

Busted Shimano XT

I got A busted rear hub. It's shimano XT hub, I bought it last year and I have been using it ever since even under the rain or muddy trails. Haven't opened it for cleaning, so I guess it's one of the reason the pawls are no longer functional!
