I recently damaged my knees pretty badly after a drop on my Kris Holm fork. I was wearing pads, but unfortunately they didn’t protect me very well. I think I’ll go for a ride after lunch, in very wet conditions.
Yes, I know that Problem. I use a normal Front door Key but it is very dangerous for the Front door Key. My Front door Key is allright after that Tour. I also forget the Front door Key and go out, that isn’t a good solution.
I stoped every few minutes and checked the screwes.
Next time - dont forget the toolSet :0)
When I’m on longer trips, I usually take the “basic” tool kit with me. Ideally, a 2. 8 mm open-end wrench and a patch for the inner tube would be ideal. The whole thing weighs about 1 KG. As an additional option, I carry a tube.
Hehe, after seeing your (very nice) tool kit I just had to have a look at mine…
This weighs in at ~390g plus a small pump at ~110g → ca. 500g, and already much heavier than I’d like. The 10 / 15mm wrench used to be a 14 / 15mm wrench that I cut and grinded to accept 10mm nuts. The allen keys I mostly collected at a pawn shop. The screw is the one that was missing and that I had to replace when I reassembled my Flansberrium. The black washer / spacer is …hm, where could that be from? I don’t know. Don’t ask me why the paper clip is there, but at least it’s not heavy 
.
Aren’t fatter wheels also more difficult when dealing with camber? I find it hard work on the hatchet when there is camber. The narrower tires on lighter uni’s are then easier to control.
ja. camber kills control an fun.
But the tire(shape, pattern and TPI) makes a difference - big time.
JumboJim, Minion or the Knard are no fun to ride. Hardest of em all is Surlys Knard (Gnard?). It is hard to control even on a bike.
Lou, BFL, AllMighty or the Jonny are way easier to handle.
Give them a try bevore sagging the FatMuni project.
I wrote trousers but had shorts in my mind. I hate it when the ends of my shorts or 3/4 trousers or whatever they’re called get caught by the crown (one of the reasons I prefer uni crowns to other designs). And my unis, are far from having such “bull type” crowns like yours. But fortunately that is a rare occurence.
Thank you, Digger!
I am impressed that you still remember what I said many years ago
But there are quite a lot of castles in Germany.

My second time ever riding mountain bike trails (and muni in general) 
I’ve been to these trails once before during the winter. It was my first time there and I didn’t do much other than ride a little beginner loop once or twice and slipping on some ice 
This time however was sooo much better. Instead of riding the 26x4.8 that came with the Hatchet, I got to properly ride the 27.5x2.5 I had built up while the snow was melting. The fat tire is a sight to behold, but for me muni is tiring enough by itself without pushing a big wheel around. I felt much more at home on the lighter wheel!
I did some practice laps on the beginner loop just to get a feel for things and figure out roughly what tire pressure I wanted to run. Eventually I tackled my first proper trail and things went great! After running a section a couple times I let myself loosen up a bit and picked up a bit of speed. I mostly got tripped up on some roots and sketchy loose inclines, but thankfully I had no significant (bad) UPDs on the trails.
I say on the trails… My one injury from this excursion happened on, you guessed it, smooth level pavement. 
So there’s a bike wash station in the parking area, and there was some water runoff on the sidewalks. I had the brilliant idea of making a sharp turn where it was wet and, well…
Thankfully I was okay other than some light scrapes on my elbow and a sore knee. It happened right in front of a few people too; they checked in on me which I appreciate. That must’ve been something they weren’t expecting to see for sure. I had a very similar fall my first time here, except it was on ice. 
Deja vu?
There was also some paved trails that I explored on my 36er. I did try doing some of the trails I did on my 27.5, though I decided against doing much more than a “little bit”. I’ll wait until I get more familiar with doing muni.
The bigger problem is to remeber about yesterday… 
I do a lot of driving around here at my job.
And i see all them castles or whats left of them at the hilltops.
And then i remember you noticing that at rtb 2009.
Yes, but I also don’t go to visit the castle in South of Germany to ride Muni. I ride most of the time my home Trails since 9,5 Years.
True …
Yes. Long time ago, but a nice weekend
The pine cones were lined up for Abbie.
Seriously. No rest spot for unis? We are just too fit I guess.
Not the most comfy saddle, but the most shiny one ;-).
I panicked for a second when I saw how similar your uni is to mine. “How did he steal it without me knowing.”
checked if yours still there… ?
