I'm planning to head over to Bateman's Bay over this Xmas period, I believe the 27/28/29th of December (and then on to the Snowies), home to the famous Mogo State Forest, that, according to the Nobmob page, has "miles and miles of the sweetest singletrack you'll ever find," and I have it on good authority from many people that this is a place well worth exploring, so looking forward to jumping down.

Hi all,

Does anyone know the current status of Ourimbah? Feasible for a ride in Sunday morning?

Cheers!

So how many people are heading to the Fling this weekend, Im heading down to do my first MTB race

Hey all,

I bought an old Reign 3 '05 last year and finally got round to rebuilding it.

When I took apart the rear suspension, the upper bearing (i think its called the seatstay pivot, refer to pic) both just fell in pieces. Not sure if that what those bearings are meant to do but never seen that before.

I have bearings for the rest of the suspension set up but need to replace these smaller ones.

Does any one know the model or specs of the bearings i need to get?

Any help would be appreciated.

I cleverly didn't put enough grease on my pedal thread on my old bike and time has come for the pedals to be changed, and I've been informed that there is some spray or liquid or something that can be applied to help loosen them to take them off. Anyone able to think of what this is offhand?

Well with 2 weeks til the Fling and after solid block of training, the front carbon rim on my Giant Anthem Advanced has failed - see attached photos. There was always a small "ridge" in the rim, like the one near the air valve, but where the spoke has popped out the ridge got bigger over time. I now suspect this might have been a manufacturing defect, since there are no ridges at all on the back rim. The bike is 2 years old. The failure happened unexpectedly - no crash or impact. I've written to Giant to ask if they have any advice...

Any locals up there who can comment on the impact the rain had on the Bantry Bay trails? Better to wait until Sunday?

Just pulling the bike apart and putting it back together. piece by piece, there are some screws whick look like they have had loctite on them, and some that need them.

Bike: Trance
Riding style: Cross country

And advice? was thinking 243 according to the website

Didnt think i would have so many choices

Thanks in advamce

Decided to do some regular maintenance on my rims with DT 240 hubs. Drive side bearing is only accessed once the ring nut is removed. 3 bike shops later and I managed to get someone to replace the bearing. Now the wheel locks up because the ring nut has been installed wrong way up!! Last time I get a bike shop to do anything on my bike. Can't take the wheel back as I'm not in Perth!! No riding for two weeks now, thanks to Giant in Perth. 240 might be good hubs but don't try to change wheel bearings. Hope hubs are looking real good ATM

I was just notified there is an OPI recall as per below.
