So I picked up my new bike from TBSM on Tuesday night. It’s a 2010 Kona Unit. Single speed. 29er. Sexy.
After leaving it stock and riding it for a 20km spin around Loftus last night, I have much to talk about. There are a few upgrades that I want to do, with just about all of them making the bike more rideable/comfortable. So while I collect my thoughts on the initial impressions of the bike, enjoy some 29er bike porn…






Dirtworks is 22 days away. Not overly sure how I’m going to go with the amount of training I’ve done. I can rattle off 20kms pretty comfortably, 30kms if I properly have to. But I kinda signed up for the 50km event….
Mmm. Now there’s motivation to be awake at 6am on the Saturday of a long weekend.
So if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a date with the Royal National Park.
As the title suggests, my Gary Fisher Cobia is now a single speed bike. 32:18 is the gearing of choice, and as fate would have it the chain length is spot on to not be have to run a chain tensioner. Brilliant!
Yet to take it out for a blast at Loftus, but that’ll have to happen in the next few days.
