What this sheet is for
Tie how a ride felt to what the bike was actually set to, and build a picture of which parts wear out on which trails.
Who it is for
Trail and enduro riders working through a trail centre's routes, and anyone experimenting with suspension and tyre setup.
How to use it
- Write the bike, your setup and the tyres you are running at the top.
- Log each ride with the route, the grade as signed and the ground conditions.
- Note any setup change you made, so you can tell what caused the difference.
- Record mechanicals and wear as they happen, and carry them over to your service log.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Rides kept as a record — trail centre or route, the grade as signed, distance and conditions, what the bike was set to and what broke.
Your settings, their grades. Write the trail grade as the centre or the guide signs it, and your own suspension and pressure settings as you actually ran them. No setup figures are printed here: what suits the bike is what your fork and shock makers state for your weight, adjusted by how it rode.
Write-on lines: Rider · Bike · Rider weight for setup · Year or season · Fork setting · Shock setting · Front tyre · Rear tyre · Pressures run
Rides — one line each, including the ride that ended early
Table, 12 rows: Date · Trail centre or route · Grade · Distance · Time · Ground and weather · Setup changed · Mechanicals and wear · Notes
Questions
Why are there no suspension or tyre pressures printed on it?
Because the right setting depends on your weight, your bike and your fork and shock makers' own guidance. The sheet gives you blanks to record what you actually ran, which is the part worth having when a ride felt wrong.
Is this a replacement for a service log?
No. It records rides and what went wrong on them. Work done on the bike belongs on a maintenance log, and the two read well side by side.
