A day off on tuesday sealed the deal.
First ride. Best to keep it local just incase of dramas. Yarra trails.
From my place down the bike path toward Darebin Park and the start of something good. Already the bike felt fast, being used to a 575 the more race oriented ASR was like a hardtail, only better.
Through the park toward the Yarra i hit up a few Sam Bach lines, awesome. Things were going to be good.
The trails were a bit greasy with occasional puddles, nothing to worry about.......
until this... time to wear the factory gloss off....Thankfully that was the worst of it. "Hans' Loop" out at Westefolds was perfect. It was great to ride it in the daylight again.
Part of the Assembly and Prep of my new bike was to give it a thorough wipedown with silicon spray. It gives the frame a nice shine and most of mud will slide off as you ride. Whatever mud stays on the bike is easy to clean off come the end of the ride.
Sam Hill uses it so it must be good.
Probably smart not to get it on your brakes(rim or rotor), grips, pedals and anything else that you don't want super slipery.
Smells good too.
