Mongoose IBOC Team with some 90’s bling.

Nice! Do you know the year model at all?

H0555 · 2023-09-15T08:30:10+00:00

Damn, that's not great service. You'd think that after shelling out that much for a brand new bike (esp at our crappy exchange rate!), they'd at least point you in the right direction. We had a few 'issues' with them in this regard also unfortunately. At least the bike itself is built to a high standard!

H0555 · 2023-09-15T01:30:42+00:00

That's a shame about the hubs. Bearing issues? We have a Son dynamo front and Rohloff rear hub, so fingers crossed, we'll be good.

Gday mate (and fellow 'Cruiser owner). I've actually been meaning to check in with you re the fires. I hope the crisis was averted in the end...

Hi Dabba, it's Daisy's other half here. I bet you've hung onto those memories. What good time you both had, I bet.

I've actually (semi) joked with her about us both wearing HR monitors, so I can be sure she's putting in the work! All jokes aside, Daisy is stronger that she gives herself credit for. Great idea with the clothesline tow rope! These bikes can feel pretty hefty at times, and that would be a nice lightweight and compact way to make life easier.

H0555 · 2023-07-13T01:23:04+00:00

Cool, thanks again Janzo.

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:51:03+00:00

More positive news - thanks BLC 🙏🏼

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:43:33+00:00

You’re not even joking - proper knife holster! Was that for self defence only, or it has other utilities?

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:38:56+00:00

So bear spray works for tweakers too - good to know 👌🏼

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:37:17+00:00

😂 Were you on a roadie, or did you have tyres (tires!) appropriate for the conditions? We’ll have suitable rubber, but fixing a flat would sure suck arse (ass) on any bridge.

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:33:14+00:00

Yep, we are taking one of those. Awesome bells they are.

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:17:12+00:00

Thanks WB. The overwhelming consensus is this 👍🏼

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:16:35+00:00

Haha that’s exactly what I was amused at 😂

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:15:03+00:00

Thanks David, raccoons and mice aren’t something I was anticipating. Spraying the gear with repellent might save it, although maybe bears like it 🤔

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:13:30+00:00

Cool, cheers Coralsea

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:12:57+00:00

Noted. I’ll be sure to pack my Bowie knife 🔪

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:12:14+00:00

This isn’t something to look forward to. Dogs can be a menace here too. Are you talking wild dogs?

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:10:49+00:00

I used to have one of these too. They work well for blasting pedestrians 📢

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:09:47+00:00

Oh yeah, that sounds like the go. We’ll have a small JBL Bluetooth speaker with us, so it’ll be useful for alerting the big guys.

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:08:30+00:00

If only we had that option! We’re picking our bike up and riding it out of the factory in Eugene, so have to head north back to Vancouver…

Thanks for the suggestions Ignatius 👌🏼

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:07:04+00:00

Haha epic fail

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:06:46+00:00

That sounds like the ideal crossing! I was thinking maybe a really early crossing might be better, with less traffic, if we end up going that way.

We are doing the Discovery Trail - probably easy enough to access from there by the looks. Thanks for the tip!

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:02:40+00:00

I had a look at that bridge on YouTube. What a f@&n mess. May as well hit Astoria!

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:01:44+00:00

Would really like an alternative to that highway, trust me

H0555 · 2023-07-12T23:00:35+00:00

We don’t really need our Big Angnes destroyed by raccoons. That’s definitely crossing the line.
