Went out trail riding for the first time on Sat
Fell off twice and broke a clutch lever covered in mud and bruises looking forward to having another go this Sat but hope to get some sort of knee protection before then.
Found out when i got back that the front brake was dragging slightly.
The vertical play in the lever allowd it to drop and wedge its self on the hand gaurd
Probably why i kept loosing the front end.
I have cut the end of the lever now so it can not fowl on the hand gaurds. _________________ Life's a bitch and i aint through with her yet

It is a laugh this mud plugging. Only tried a couple of times but enjoyed.
Good to hear from you mate.

I have a feeling I know where you were mud plugging, I have done the route a couple of times myself. Now I stick to doing it on the mountain bike, its less scary........
Dont forget, if you cant run to motocross leg guards, check out the skateboarders stuff, off road you will probably not be going all that fast and you may find that they suffice. _________________ MUTANT NINJA HERO

So thats your knees covered then, lets hope you don't test the guards out too often.
What happened about the levers, did you manage to get any? _________________ MUTANT NINJA HERO
