I received the planet axle pin test screw from Schlumpf today, another example of the high level of customer service Florian provides. My #226 hub has been running GREAT but with extra speed and complexity of a GUni it’s well worth checking that everything is operating as it should be. The test...

I guess there was more to the UPD at Flume Track the other day. I wasn’t able to use my leg to shift down to low gear after the UPD but riding seemed to be ok apart from some anguish on the left side. I have no idea what happened or what hit what, just one of those UPD’s where your first...

To help minimize the late afternoon jet lag like feeling due to getting up for work at 3.40am I squeezed in a mid afternoon MUni ride along Flume Track before doing the school run. I’d often passed the entry sign but never ridden it and had hoped the trail would be an easy ride suitable for the...

Like many other families who live in the Victorian bush we left home several times due to bushfire during summer 2009.  The most significant in our region was the Muskvale Hogans Road fire which was spotting only a short distance from home prior to a wind change. I took this photo on a hill near our...

Thanks to daylight savings there are already hours of light to spare in the evening – a great time of day to mess around on the home trials area. I started messing around with mounting the GoPro camera on the KH20 – some interesting points of view and sounds! The home trials area is coming...

The Bike Around the Bay in Melbourne was on today. I had entered again as it was great fun last year on the 36′er – over 16,000 cyclists and 2 unicyclists –   but after a week of wet weather and a couple of early starts for a new job I decided to stay at home and enjoy the beautiful...

A while back I overheard some MTB riders talking about a cool single track trail in the Wombat Forest that passes through an old gold mining area, with most of the track cut into the hillside and at times a steep drop down to the river on one side. Sounded great! I had a couple of hours to spare today...

After yesterday’s glitch a take it easy ride was in order. Spring is such a great time to be outdoors – green, cool and lots of water around. I headed down to the local reserve with one of our dogs, cruising around on the GUni. Lulu, Uni Bitch We haven’t had good spring rain like this...

Gyrobike demonstrated their Gyrowheel at Interbike 2009. What is Gyrowheel? Gyrowheel’s inner disk, or flywheel, spins independently within Gyrowheel, which replaces the front wheel of a bicycle, creating a force that stabilizes the bike. Here’s a Gyrowheel video from Interbike: The company...

I stopped in at Trentham Falls on the way back from the morning school run for a quick uni fix on the KH20. I thought I had warmed up enough but ~30 mins in tweaked a muscle  in my right leg,  same one as during night trials last week. You get that I guess, jumping around in the dark… DOH! Waterfall...
