Pic of the Day

Stay focused & you can join the special club. Or just buy a phone with a crappy GPS.

The same happens in between to me and has always wondered how it happens but I don't think it's about phone, gps or vpn.

NIce pics ..how are you getting on with that Kado ..?
All in all, core characteristics of the bike, I love it. Forget that I'm on a full fat ebike going downhill until I hit the brakes lol

I've upgraded the brakes to hope evo gr4 and floating rotors, swapped out the crappegai for a magic Mary radial, hope peddles, cushcore on the rear, kiox 400c. Got a coil shock coming next week which will give me a bit more rear travel (163mm) and hopefully a nicer back end as the stock rear shock sucks and seems to get overwhelmed quite easily. Wanting to put a 170mm air shaft in the zebs and upgrade the charger rc damper to a charger 3.1, swap out rear tyre and new bars as the stock ones are a bit too stiff for my liking. Maybe a new wheelset in the future too but that's just me being picky nothing wrong with the current ones. Also flipped the flip chip to low and it's now much more composed and with the low CoG it's the best descending bike I've ever rode.

All in all massive fan.
 
Yesterday I went for a mountain ride up to Kriz Saddle and then to the old military shelter, now an Alpini hut (the Italian mountain troops). Sadly, it was closed, so no chance to replenish my minerals with a big cold beer... 🍺

The climb starts on a narrow mule track through a nice cool little forest, then higher up it gets pretty exposed. The surface changes constantly — sometimes hard-packed, sometimes gravelly, sometimes rocky — but the steepest sections, with natural stone steps and all that fun stuff, are mostly at the beginning in the wooded part. I think I counted something like 45 switchbacks before reaching the cross at Kriz Saddle...

If you zoom in, you can spot the cross at Kriz Saddle — the first goal of the day.

The mule track which gains about 3,000 feet of elevation in roughly 4 miles., with the Tagliamento River in the background:

The hut can only be reached via rough mountain trails… or by helicopter!

Luckily, on the way back we managed to refill our bottles at this fountain. Chiare, fresche, et dolci acque...

Did a 10km brake pad bedding-in ride last night, out today for a proper ride ! New TRP Evo Pro brakes did not disappoint, night and day difference to the stock Magura.
Also new Spank Split stem as the factory stem had slipped on the steerer tube on a few occasions... which has been a well aired issue with the standard OEM stem.
Feeling great !

Which brakes are not like night and day compared to Magura🤷‍♂️

They weren't too bad, I had them fitted with Race Matrix pads and they were decent enough but the heavy lever action and lack of stopping power on steep tech seemed to be getting worse.

That's what really surprise me that a great bike like Amflow got Magura on all their models but I'm pretty sure it's going to change in near future since Chinese likes Chinese food and Lewis has shown not just their brakes but several other components.
 
Magura must give some crazy good OEM deals, my cube originally had maguras too which were just horrible with all the pads I tried until I switched to mavens.
 
That's a NF14. My dad flew one.

I thought It was a NF14 but wasn't sure as I'd googled Meteor NF variants before I posted. It has a tricolour on what I presume is it's disassembled tail, the lighter blue has me guessing at the Netherlands AF? When was your dad flying them, late 40's early 50's ?

He was flying one in early 1957 when it suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure (probably metal fatigue) and fell out of the sky. Neither he nor his navigator managed to eject. RIP.
