Bottom Bracket Replacement in the VooDoo Dambala

After the bottom bracket issues on the single speed I ordered a new FSA Platinum ISIS bottom bracket to replace the failed RaceFace SRX. This evening after a shorter than expected Christmas I fitted the new bottom bracket and now the drivetrain is working just as it should. Installation went smoothly and after cleaning the chain and slightly readjusting the tension it’s ready to ride.

Now to wait for spring time to come and single speed weather to begin again… Or maybe my neighbors (spanning the four miles to River Bends) will properly clear their snow

Walkies!

As she’d been cooped up mostly in the house for a few days I decided to take Roxie for a Christmas afternoon walk at River Bends. We walked a bit of two track, all of the non-seasonal single track, and back via the pavement. There was one tree down on the single track and a bunch of deadfall, but nothing major. I was able to break the downed tree in two then drag it off the trail, and (as typical) the rest of the deadfall was kicked or tossed aside.

The photo above shows four (or maybe it’s really five?) downed trees on the first piece of two track. There’s quite a few downed things on the two track that’ll need clearing. All are ridable / easy to step over, but the park will definitely have it’s work cut out for it.
