Little 177 joined the 400 hours club last weekend




Got a class win in the RORR enduro too.




And some maintenance

Upper shock bearing started getting squeaky a few weeks ago, so ordered some bearings from China. It was starting to get play so finally took the time to replace it.

Ordered a new Magura slave cylinder and put the hydro clutch set up back on. Love how smooth this is compared to the cable, although it was starting to fray anyway and was past due for replacement. Hopefully this slave lasts longer than the old one did (to be fair, I did buy the hydro kit used for really cheap. Just wish they had a damn rebuild kit for the slave).

Swapped out the wheels for my tubliss'd set. Will be stuffing mousses in the removed wheels once they get here. The wheels I had on for the enduro had better tires for that terrain, but only had tubliss in the front and of course I got a rear flat near the end. Which sucked a lot.

New air filter

New trans oil

Bent my shifter back out. Yay for steel levers

Removed the enduro computer. This was the first enduro I used it for as I just got it a few days ago. Man it is so nice to just look down and see if you are early/late without having to figure it out on the fly

Was it a timekeeper enduro?

Yes, full time keeping. A majority of this series' enduros are timekeeping as apposed to start controls (18 events this year; 5 are SC, the rest are TK)

400 hours wow good effort! How many as a 177? Any major issues?

It started knocking at 325 hours which is when I sent it off to Wallybean to get the stroker crank done. So 75 hours on that.


Issues? Not too many. A broken power valve a few years back, a broken kick start shaft, a broken shift lever spring, and a broken kick start gear is the extent of major stuff.

The shock has seen better days as it is an 2009 with the vertical reservoir and the exhaust has gotten smashed in to it a few times over the years. I've been keeping my eyes open for a '10+ shock with the horizontal reservoir but not much luck finding one.

I finally got off the "training wheels" and flicked the "switch". So, what did I do to MY husky "today". Well, yesterday, I ran 35 k of single track chasing some 500's through the tight and twisties and then spent the next 65 k on Map 1 The first 12 hours on this bike were all on Map 2 with pre-mix at 50:1. Topped up tank after the first 35 k with new mix at 60:1 and now hear and feel how this bike is SUPPOSED TO RUN ! WOWZAAAAA! FIrst XC event on this in 6 days. Can't wait!

The club I'm in assists with a horse enduro twice a year. This was the 100 mile event. We do most of the marking/clearing the trail and running point ahead of the horses on race day to make sure everything is still ok and to hang 500+ glow sticks on the last 1/3 of the trail so the riders who are out after dark can still find their way. They have 24 hours to finish the 100 miles.

6 of us left out at 5:15 am and returned to camp at 7 pm. About 90 miles on Saturday on top of the 100 miles we did Friday. Plus the 85 miles we did the previous weekend. We cut out 7 or 8 downed trees.




Some video from when we first set out. I like riding in the dark

On the less fun side of things, myself and the other Joe (both bikes in the above pic) shared 5 flat tires in 2 days. Those trails are rough and not open to motorized traffic except by permit for this event so the rocks are extra pointy. I had 3 punctures (tubliss) and the other guy pinched 2 tubes. I didn't want to waste fresh tires on this stuff so didn't have my mousse'd wheels on the bike.

Just plug the tyre or was the tubliss bladder punctured?

Tubliss itself was fine, just the tire punctured. It took about 10 plugs to get all the holes to stop leaking

You are making it hard to love you Husky Fortunately I was at a buddy's place just screwing around and not in a race, this time.

Dude that sucks!

Again! That's the 3rd one isn't it? Too much compression from the 177!

Help is at hand if a little bit expensive but will certainly cure the problem lol

Beta make a kickstart too now. About $8000US I'd imagine.
