Splitting the Stones

Posted 22nd Jul 20206th Feb 2021 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Camera

I had a new drone to test, and didn’t want to interfere with the flow of a group ride, so instead just two of us went out and did a bit of stop/start riding around the West. Took a short clip here, and a short […]

Viral Trails

Posted 22nd May 20206th Feb 2021 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Husky TE300, KTM 500 EXC, Local Dirt Spins

Pondering mortality? The never ending social distancing? The efforts to protect ourselves and our families from the terrible sickness, and at the same time thinking the queue for Lidl is possibly worse than the sickness could ever be, and we’d nearly rather try our luck […]

Suspension

Posted 12th Jan 20203rd Feb 2021 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

The 2016 500 EXC should have be sprung as standard with 4.6 springs in the forks and a 7.2kg spring on the shock. The previous owner must have been a big guy, as my used model came fitted with 5.0 springs in the front, and […]

Suspension & swingarm bearings

Posted 30th Nov 201916th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

Some people say that if you have โ‚ฌ100 to spend on your bike, then spend โ‚ฌ99 of it on suspension. I’m not sure I agree with the 99:1 ratio, but definitely 50:50 .. your suspension is the most important part of your bike IMO. Like […]

Tyres and Tubes

Posted 12th Nov 20187th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

It seems everyone you talk to is running different tyres and pressures, and everyone has an opinion on what works best. What they really should be saying though, is what works best for them. A tyre that works well in dry sand might not do […]

Sunday Morning Spin

Posted 21st May 201815th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Husky TE300, Local Dirt Spins

A lot of erosion from the recent rains have been tearing up some of those trails and created some deep ruts that you really want to avoid. The mud was slippery as hell and some of the trails were rockier than normal. Dropped the bike […]

Exploring and testing

Posted 28th Apr 201824th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Gear, Navigation

Out in exploring the trails again. Super day for it. Dressed fashionably and all :o) Took the cycling bike to Dromore another day to test those new etrex maps, they seem to work really well so happy with that result too.    

Easter Nav Trails

Posted 15th Apr 201824th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Beta xTrainer, Local Dirt Spins

Early start today for the Easter LDNT spin.

Wheel Bearings

Posted 12th Jan 201817th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

Ever had a wheel bearing failure? You get that metal on metal knocking from the back wheel, and it kinda ruins your day, right.. Seeing as I’ve had a number of ruined days, these days I consider wheel bearings as a consumable, a service item, […]

Turkey Run 2017

Posted 9th Dec 20177th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Beta xTrainer, Bike Trips, Local Dirt Spins, Navigation

Kilfenora was the starting point and most of todayโ€™s waypoints were in or around the Burren. The new xTrainer was brought out for the run today, she has about 10 hours up now, so the suspension is bedding in at this stage. The front end […]

Cleaning and Oiling your Air Filter

Posted 12th Apr 201616th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

Ok, you’ve probably heard it before, but keeping your Air Filter clean and oiledย is massively important. It’s the one part, that neglected or used incorrectly, will have a huge impact on cylinder wear. We ride dirt bikes, in the dirt. There’s dust and mud and […]

Oil & Filter changes

Posted 12th Apr 201616th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

Changing your oil and filters regularly is important if you want to keep your bike in top condition. It’s a simple process that everyone should easily be able to do themselves, but there are a few things to note on any bike before you start. […]
