School holidays in Oz so most people are away or doing kids stuff. We are holidaying with friends with school aged kids. Ours are still too little for school. Might be the reason no Aussies are posting. My beastie is asleep with the battery tender on it and a bike cover over it.
School Holiday's I dream of School Holiday's we have been back 3 weeks an it's been carnage The computer system crashed on the 2nd day back been down two weeks lost emails time tables work then you have Teachers with a cob on over the new two week timetable. kid's don't know where they are suppose to be or Teachers come to that it's been Hell still 4 weeks an it's half term but to top it all a kid lost his finger on a lathe on Thursday. don't ask how he did it they have all had half days training on each machine an safety in the last year he just stuck his hand in to it 3-4 of the kids in the class 14 year olds seamed to think it would grow back.............. best of luck with that he wont be picking his nose with that one again
Update on mine, changed from 14/44 gearing to 13/44, was ok, today i went 13/50 with a new chain and dont like it! going to try the original 14 front and try 14/50, if i still dont like it ill try a smaller rear sprocket again.
On the plus side the TTR passed the mot 2 weeks ago with no advisories.
The TTR is used mainly off road, but i need to ride on the road to get there, i got used to 13/44 but thought id try a larger rear for a bit more slow control, 13/44 makes the bike rideable and being able to use 6th gear,I may re fit the 14t front and try 14/50, wont be for a week or so, i done my back in at work today :(
Ive found the 13/48 is good. will climb anything and can still cruise ok in the long sections
Cheers, i'll order a 48 on Friday and swap it over, i fitted a new chain to, but needs 1 more link taken out, will get it all done when fitting the new sprocket.
