When we got home I packed the car and drive to Wales where I am racing next weekend to get some practice in.
The track is great and I had a really good time until my last run when I tried to pull manual the second jump on the first straight and got it wrong and went over the bars! Hurt my wrists a bit and my head but all ok.
After I hit the ground my tyre blew off the rim which was a bit weird but made sure I couldn't try it again.
I have fixed it now and also put more air in both tyres to see if they feel better tomorrow morning when I go to Bristol to do laps in the morning.
The Thrill is also ready to pick up so I will pop in and pick it up and then drop the Dialled frame in to be stripped and painted on the way home from Crucial so hopefully the dialled will be ready to build in a week or so.
I am going to try and sell the Sunday as I am not using it and it is too different to my race bikes and I want to build the Dialled as a jumping/ pump track bike so that I can use it to practice jumping and on the pump track over the winter.
I am also thinking of selling the Thrill and using the money to build up a set of training wheels to keep the onyx rims just for racing then I can use the same bike all the time but keep the onyx wheels in a good state for racing.
I want to try some higher bars to see if I can jump a bit better on the Yess with higher bars.
