Any recommendations for a welder in Brookvale?

Hi Guys

I recently snapped the chain-stay on my steel framed roadie and I'm looking to have it welded so it can become a dedicated mag-trainer bike. Does anyone have any recommendations of someone in the Brookvale area who can do a half-decent welding job and doesn't mind doing a one-off little job? It doesn't need to be show quality, just structuraly sound as it's never going to be on the road again.

Freeload bike racks

All,

Many moons ago I bought a Freeload bike rack, thinking that I'd make great use out of it bike touring all over the state. Fast forward two years and I have dusted it off, set it up properly and now I know why people were/are raving about it.

Despite my best efforts I've realised I need a front rack for the dually (as well as the rear rack I already own - with the side panels). No one seems to be stocking Freeload racks anymore and Thule dealers suggest July 2013 is when stock comes in. I'm in a bind as I head down to the snowy mountains next weekend.

Hi ,Does anyone know where to buy a 9mm quick release to 15 mm through axel adaptor for a front wheel bike carrier . I've tried Thule and they said at least 6 weeks. Bike addiction are also a couple of weeks to get them. I'm not sure if Rola make one . Or does anyone have one they no longer need and want to sell. I'm on the Northen Beaches. Thanks

Group buying deal on MTB skills clinic

Hi All

I'm not normally a fan of group buying deals (groupon, living social etc), I think they're generally stupid and purile, but my good wife sent through this today which is worthwhile. It's a Living Social deal for an all-day beginner MTB skills clinic for $59, looks like its held either at terry Hills or Narabeen and you have till June 19 to use it. I'd say I'm an intermediate level rider but at that price it should be worthwhile even if I just pick up a few decent tips (dropoffs are my bugbear)
