What did you do to your Gas Gas today?

Damn I miss Natal!

Yesterday I put on the studded tires for the winter season. Total it startet raining... Also lubed and greased a litte bit after the mud bath at Gotland. Have to dismantle the link, swingarm and steering bearings for repacking /greasing very soon. Also plan to replace the piston soon, but 200cc B pistons are manufactured by S3 and are out of stock.

I can't believe how well they turn even with my fat ass on the bike. Stonking little bike

Got my HBD number plate graphics installed. On the side plates, I opted for the rhino finish. Looks tough.
Perfect fit and easy installation. Web site is sketchy, doesn't show GasGas bikes. So you have to choose another brand to see what it looks like. They do send you a proof before it goes to print.

I put new rubber - Mitas ef06 yellow front and c18 green back - and most importantly I solved a design flaw on my kyb fork conversion

I use the gg front wheel, seals and bearings and had new axle spacers made up to adapt the yz axle to the gg bearings. I had noted that the axle spacers were not allowing the RHS fork to float along the axle but fitted tight against the fork bottoms and the bearing. I assumed that the guy that made up the spacers had measured everything accurately and now the forks were perfectly aligned and I didn't need to worry about getting the forks lined up. Well I was wrong😄 When the wheel was off I measured everything about 10 times and realized that the fork was being held about 5mm out of alignment by the collar of the spacer so I had a section machined down to create the floating side again.

I now have the bike working so much better. Sometimes you need to go with your gut rather than assuming that the experts never make mistakes

Ahh! My favorite rear tire (at the moment), the C18 green.

Yep! Trust your gut. When something feels wrong, it usually is.

I had it before and tried something else. I have now gone back to it and combined with tubliss it hooksUUUUP

I just have to remember to take gyre plugs because the carcass is not very tough but I am not a racer and my current fitness makes me appreciate the puncture repair stops (provided I have my CO2 bombs ... my small pump generally leaves me more exhausted 😩 &#128516

I have the same experience. Very good grip, but somewhat fragile. I use the Swedish T-Lock system (a Tubliss competitor). I do however not bring puncture repair kits along for the ride. Here in Norway, all (legal) off-road riding is on closed circuits, and short ones most of them.
