Shimano & Crank Bros Cleats.

Does anybody know if Crank Bros pedals will work with Shimano SPD cleats? I've just purchased some mallets and am wondering if I will have to use their cleats provided or if the Shimano ones already on my shoes are compatible with them?

NB I haven't bothered to actually try yet

Cheers,

Andy.

Sram 991 Hollow pin Vs Shimato XTR/Durace CN770: which is more durable?

I have always used Sram 991 Hollow Pin chains, but recently found out a new chain less than 500km use is now needing replacement.

Each Sram 991 Hollow Pin is about $60+, T7 has Shimano XTR chain for $40 - i am willing to give it ago

Anyone can give some advice about durability on the XTR chain?

Thanks.

Tien.

Lake Parramatta

I ride this area regulary. Not sure on its legality but I do know that in the last three years of riding through lake parramatta i have ridden past the odd ranger who hasn't said a thing other than hello.
Its a fairly popular venue and the council one would assume is well aware that the reserve is used for mountain biking and has been for a long time.
I also know that other trails that i ride in the area that come under Parramatta council are Ok to ride.
