    Magic video.. fabulous part of Tassie.
    pedals with Allen key access saves having to carry too many types of tools...remove broken bit...then jam in a tough bit of wood for a makeshift spindle...

    So proud of what my home state has done with these trail networks. Done Bier Tier three times, have to get back home to do the run to the beach, looks awesome.
    Bad luck with the pedal mate, bummer.

    I am so glad I found this video. We are going to be riding this a week from now. I am rethinking what I am going to take, (like lots of water and energy gels,for sure). I always carry tyre stuff, chain links and a derailleur hanger on long rides, but you are never going to see a broken pedal spindle coming, and with that mother climb ahead of you too! Amazing job, well done mate!

    Amazing effort dude! We did this trail 13th Feb and it was a different story. Drizzling at the top and hot at the end but nothing like the heat you had. We also had ebikes and the fireroads were a lot easier. Wish you could see the last 10 with your bike in good shape. Kudos to that ride man!

    Hey mate great video, sorry to hear you've had a bad run with a blown shock (big bucks), the hanger and a pedal. quick tip you shouldn't throw away banana peels in the bush because they affect wildlife if they eat them. i just chuck mine in a plastic bag in my backpack but they kinda stink. Cheers

    sorry to hear about another broken essential bike component. (sucks balls). Nothing worse when you're not close to home. I would love to hear your thoughts comparing the coil to airshock.
