Holla back
Yea that was a tongue in cheek comment. It's become a running joke on a local FB group to respond with that whenever some boomer asks "how do I get rid of x?"
Australians love their country.
Aussie Aussie Aussie, deadshit deadshit deadshit.
This was a lookout ~25yrs back, now it's just an illegal dumping ground.
Saw this one earlier in the week, somebody stole the earth cable-
On my ride today I was picking up fishing lure packets and fishing line before it dropped in to the channel below.
I'm starting to think I need to make a bike trailer to do some garbage runs, shit's getting out of hand.

What's even more disturbing is that it's clearly not a hardtail but can't see if you are still hacking it though!
how is this happening?! 4 freehub failures?!
Novatec Premium snapped and chipped pawls twice.
QVIST took the top of most of the ratchet teeth after a few days, then it just failed because of stupid design, the whole freehub assembly relies on a push on cap that has an O-Ring that barely slots in to a groove.
These bits should not be inside the hub shell, they should be attached to the freehub body.
I'll see what's up with the Hadley tomorrow, I assumed it was over greased from new as it slipped a bit then got better.
But in the last couple of days it has made some noises.
I had a freehub fail ~six years ago, but I think that was partly my fault, said that to Syntace but they still sent me new fits for free.
It was a bloody impressive hub for how light it was, like 20% lighter than a Hope and had preload adjust.
I wonder if there's excessive flex in the rear triangle, so the hub/axle aren't supported squarely and that's pulling the hub out of alignment to damage the mechanisms?
I checked alignment on the Norco, I thought that maybe when I bolt it up tight it loads the axle up, but it's all good and the frame is pretty damn stiff in the back end.
Both hubs were just shit, the Novatec wasn't pressed together properly.
The Hadley has only been on the dual suspension frame, but I would think a Hadley rear hub could realign a small country if the need arose. It slipped mostly under light load early on but yesterday was the first time it has made a proper bang. Still didn't sound as impressive as the pawls snapping in the Novatec, that was rad!
Or just go full Trump and nuke the storm. 2 birds stoned.Why have a boat when you can have a 12 gauge?
FUCK YEAH!!Why have a boat when you can have a 12 gauge?
Have you considered the sprag clutched Onyx classic? From what I understand the Vesper is not as strong due to a smaller sprag clutch. IF you can get one to slip it is the roller elements against the hubshell and when the torque is removed, they go back to normal. Would not be catastrophic and leave you walking. I would imagine if you somehow can do it often enough, you may wear the hubshell somewhat over time.
My trailbike has had a classic since I built it in '19.
Not one complaint. I love it. My constant headache also appreciates the silence.
It is quite amazing how much more wildlife you see when not being chased by a swarm of bees.
FTR, I hate loud hubs. HOWEVER, out here, in the land of hungry, pissed off mega- fauna, I basically never, ever want to see any animals anymore on my rides.
Except Owls, foxes, and wolves, they don’t really bother me at all.
