http://troyszczurkowski.blogspot.com/2014/10/salsa-fargo-ti-kiwi-brevet-2014-setup.html

Musings and adventures of a bicycle technician. Friday, 3 October 2014. Salsa Fargo ti - the Kiwi Brevet 2014 setup. The 1200km Kiwi Brevet is done and dusted for 2014 - race report on that to follow - I thought I'd share the build spec of my ti Fargo. Like all of my builds, I plan out the components and cherry pick the best that suit the application, taking into account weight, durability, reliability and to a lesser extent, price. You've gotta start with a good chassis though, that is key. Bartape: Pro...

Troy Szczurkowski: July 2015

http://troyszczurkowski.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Musings and adventures of a bicycle technician. Sunday, 26 July 2015. Moreton Island 3 day Wintersun bikepack - day 3. Hehe, frustrated mosquitoes hovered around my bugnet, searching for an entrance throughout the night. Sometime during the night, the wind turned offshore and the sound of surf dropped to a pleasant level, a quiet reminder of your location as the birdlife ratcheted up to 11:. Another cracker of a day. We ride 3 or 4 km south, to the entrance of the Little Sandhills. Descending can be a ca...

Troy Szczurkowski: Muru Witjira fatbike build for the Ultimate Adventure - Part 1

http://troyszczurkowski.blogspot.com/2013/03/muru-witjira-fatbike-build-for-ultimate.html

Musings and adventures of a bicycle technician. Saturday, 9 March 2013. Muru Witjira fatbike build for the Ultimate Adventure - Part 1. Years ago, before the internet and social media and pet monkeys, wifey and I used to do a lot of 4x4ing. Monster trucks, hardcore wheeling and rockcrawling was a growing scene, I subscribed to a few offroad magazines made from paper (remember those? Excitement would build when I received the latest Petersens 4 Wheel and Offroad. Planted an idea that got me thinking about...

Musings and adventures of a bicycle technician. Wednesday, 29 August 2012. Moreton Island fatbike trip - Day 3. I guess it doesn't seem so far' wifey replied. Yep, the lighthouse is about the same as a ride into town, and the ride across Middle Rd is like from home to the pool'. I added. As we rounded the point where the wrecks are, we waved to the family in the Pajero we first spoke to on the Micat. Obviously off for an adventure too. We made great time with the tailwind. Pet monkey took a break fro...

Troy Szczurkowski: Moonlander and a Nu drivetrain

http://troyszczurkowski.blogspot.com/2012/08/moonlander-and-nu-drivetrain.html

Musings and adventures of a bicycle technician. Friday, 10 August 2012. Moonlander and a Nu drivetrain. With so many drivetrain options out there, it can be hard to choose. When planning any bike build for myself or customers I look at many factors;. Existing frame or new, dropout type and compatibility. Load capacity, terrain and gear ratio requirements. Temperature and operational environment. Serviceability, duty cycle and maintenance complexity. Spares, warranty support and local backup. I'll mostly ...

Friday, February 20, 2015. The Tour Divide Rig Arrives! Phone call today. My tour divide rig was ready to be picked up! So despite almost no sleep and torrential rain associated with cyclone (hurricane for you septics) Marcia, in my sleep deprived state, I braved the canals er roads of Brisbane to pick her up from River City Cycles. Being a Muru cycles B.N.T. The BNT is basically an Aussie version of the Titanium Salsa Fargo. The build I decided on was to mirror Troy's own Salsa Fargo. Which he has put i...

The Christmas Creek region is an area at the base of Lamington NP, close to the QLD/NSW border track and the Lions Rd. Some beautiful and challenging country.
