Well..... Those Are Past Their Best
13 Mar 2008 at 19:00
I have no idea how I managed a full ride on these!
Surprisingly the ring's a 33, so I'm going to 32/17 as a replacement, which is handy as I have those bits, but I just bought two 18t's which I guess I won't be using now, unless I go to 34/18 next time I need to buy a new chainring.
Next I need to fit a working brake, today was a bit sketch with no rear as my cornering style relies on dumping speed and tipping in a the last second... today it was more, PANIC and lean like crazy not nice on soggy silt!

Crazy! That's pretty impressive for one month's use.
I've just taken the cog off the Voodoo's wheel so that I can service the freehub[1]. It looks almost new and it's probably 3 years old :)
[1]It didn't need servicing, I just like doing stuff like that.

Ride harder :)
I think all the teeth came off the cog today, it was fine* on Sunday
I'm now on my surly 32t and a new cog n chain now, the surly ring's 4 years old or something.
* kinda.

Naa, I'm on the steel rings now. so realy we're taking in a year or so, and I know the next one on this bike will also be a 32.

What are the 18s you've ordered? Groove Armadas? I could probably take one off your hands.

Yes they are.
I\'ve lost track of what cogs I have spare too, I probably have stupid numbers of stupid sizes :)

Thoroughly well done Matt, we're ring brothers now, if that doesn;t sound very gay.

Actually, I particularly like the way the big ring teeth are either really hooked, or just a bit hooked depending on which part of your stroke they were on. Nice.
