I might be able to ctch you on day 1. Do you have any planned stops yet, for coffee, lunch etc.
Maybe around Lancefield or Tallarook area I could do

A2Z · « **Reply #28 on:** April 26, 2023, 10:12:37 AM »

Hoping to join you on Day 3. What’s your ETA at Nowra or Kangaroo Valley? Planning on linking up with you in either of those places, and riding until Picton. Looking forward to it.

I am sorry that I won’t be able to catch up with you when you start your trip back to Qld , I have had a urgent Health issue that has raised its ugly head again so I am not going far until I can get it sorted, I am currently waiting for a specialist to get back to me .
I hope to catch up with you the next time I am in Qld.

All the best
Philip Sweet

That's no good mate. Was good to see you at the Blackbutt RTE at least.
Get well soon.

I’ll be at Onesie and Mrs Onesie’s so may the forth be with you too Diesel.

And we're off!

Diesel · « **Reply #36 on:** April 30, 2023, 08:14:53 PM »

Oh no!
As I was pulling up to traffic lights in Devonport, I geared down and STella's gear shifter went totally floppy. She is stuck in 3rd gear. It is Sunday arvo and no bike shops are open. I limped her to the Spirit and will look to get the problem fixed in Geelong at sparrow's. I'll let you folks know how it goes.

Sounds like a push rod may have popped off the ball end

Diesel · « **Reply #38 on:** April 30, 2023, 08:49:04 PM »

Hoping it's that easy. Couldn't see the important bits as they are hidden from view and reach.

Had that happen to me, a plick of a job to fix for big hands in a small place.

Presumably STella's floppy knob was fixed.

Apparently there's nothing worse than a floppy knob...

I've yet to experience that issue firsthand although from what Michael said, he has...

Brock · « **Reply #43 on:** May 01, 2023, 06:57:31 PM »

Was my very remote diagnosis correct though???

Of course I was right..

Diesel · « **Reply #44 on:** May 02, 2023, 07:26:02 AM »

STella all good. Retaining bolt undid itself and adjuster rod unwound to the point of coming off. All fixed in less than 1 hour at Geelong.
Met up with these two shady characters at Yackandandah
