Well Normally we ride thursday Nights , but this week being thanksgiving and all we rode tonight. was a little bit chilly tonight but once we got pedalling it quickly warmed up.

Here is IF_rider hucking a 2 foot drop

SloMoJo Coming down a rocky descent.

SloMoJo playing on yet another rock

IF_rider coming down a steep moss covered rock

and then all hell broke loose !

SloMoJo caught his rear derailuer in his spokes and promptly tore it off. but he was carrying a spare deraileur , so Here his is changing it. and of course nothing was going right , the cable frayed on him ( he had another ) , his chain got jammed between his crank and a frame , and then his battery was dying. and while this was going on. My light went out and started smoking like no tommorow. I melted the power connector , I guess that is what hppends when you replace a 12 watt bulb with a 28 watt. But I had my Emergency light so I pulled it out snapped it on my helmet.

and way here is SloMoJo and IF_rider playing bicycle repairmen

Were you in 'Nam? That place sure does seem to eat derailluers.

Next time you should go hardcore and not use any headlights. :evil: My friend and I ride through trails sometimes at night without any lights, it really challenging especially when there are random logs across the trail. :nuts:

I could have on a Monday night ride. The moon was pretty bright here in Upstate NY. Only problem is all the leaves on the ground hide the roots and rocks. OTB city.

the line about the extra der and cable made me giggle

Splat - don't light yourself on fire on one of these rides trying to push the limits of those lights bro - we need you for Dalton!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Damn, do you guys have mechanicals on every night ride??

Who the heck carries a spare derailleur in their backpack???

No kidding. I'm sure if one of them had a need to wash-up, someone would have been carrying the kitchen sink!

No we don't usually have troubles .

why do you think SloMoJo uses the LARGE camel Back!
and we use some baby wiped kept in a zip lock bag . Carrying the kitchen sink would be nice , but plumbing is a bitch .

Word. If I broke off my deraileur I'd just ride singlespeed. Oh wait, I do ride singlespeed

Thaty is what I said, but he was no , I have a Deraileur with me. so He changed it out.

I have seen some people who do. I'm considering it, as the one on my NRS is a little bent. I figure I'll replace it with a new XT, and put the old one in the camelback. I can't get up some of the hills at places where I ride with 18 choices, let alone singlespeed it out. I would rather carry a spare than to end a ride prematurely. Actually, if you are running a Sram chain, and have a spare derailluer in the camelback, you could swap it out in no time.

 

[splat]

Yes he had a Sram Chain , And we had a Hell of a Time getting the Quick link to come apart.

anyway you guys have been easy compared to the Nemba board

they have been having some fun with us .
