Probably once every six months just to reminisce on my old builds in 'me and my bikes'. 😊

Keeping the Odyssey theme going, I spotted one of their PACT chain tensioners for sale online over here, so decided to snag it for my Sunday park bike.

Welcome back  You’ve probably noticed it’s a bit quiet on here.

What are riding or building? A Quicksilver would be nice

G'day, New here.
I was a member here a number of years ago but life got in the way and couldn't remember my log in details so I joined up again.
It's great to be back.

I bought a fire engine red ltd Odyssey lever and a yellow cable for the S&M.

Oh and some end crimps etc.

New School Park, Street & Dirt / Re: Skate Park Newbie

Forgot to update this thread!

I finally finished the Sunday, picking up a secondhand Odyssey EVO II caliper, which works a treat with their adjustable linear cable and short Monolever. One issue I've had is a noisy chain. I bought a new Izumi chain though nothing fancy, just one of their basic ones, remembering that this was supposed to be a budget build. The chainline looks okay and I can't find any obvious tight spots, though have heard that Izumi chains can be noisy, so I guess that could be it. The only other thing I can think of is that when I was installing the crank, there was a bit of play with the inner spacer in the BB. I thought about adding a spindle spacer inside to get rid of that play but everything tightened up ok, so I left it.

Anyway, whilst I mull over whether to whip off the crank and BB bearings to install another spacer OR just to bite the bullet and buy a better chain, I'm regularly riding the Sunday at the local skate park and am really enjoying it. Despite being heavier than the Quamen, the shorter Sunday is easier to spin and fakie on, plus I no longer need to worry about damaging a rare, prototype frame with my newbie park skills!

New School Racing / Re: 2025 Race Blog - Year 9 - Still Lunging for the Line!

No racing to report on but last month I visited Tokyo, so was able to hit up two Velosolutions pump tracks in the space of a week, two times at each one, so that got the blood flowing. Then this past Friday I was able to check out a new BMX track that recently opened in Nagoya City. It's a modern, international-level track built to host the racing at the 2026 Asian Games. As such, it's aimed at riders well beyond my skill set, though I was still able to have some fun riding it despite scaring myself stupid!!

This coming weekend I should be back racing on a more regular (for me) track, namely Oizumi in Osaka. However, it's typhoon season here at the moment, so I'll be keeping an eye on the weather as Sunday approaches. Riders ready, watch the forecast!!
