Some people ...
Some people have all the luck. Fancy having the chance to do runs down Mt Panorama with it closed off to traffic.
I like my life.
this was a test for Newtons Playground
The boarders has to test to see how far up the Mount they and the street luges would be able to start and still get around Forest Elbow.
All the way from the top... For the record I was giving the boarders a start and then trying to catch them.
manly dam mantainence
hi, who is wasting their time putting in berms and concreting in rocks at the dam???
If you want a 4x track then go to home bush,
If you want concrete, go to centenial park,
Leave the place alone, and stop ruining it,
you guys have created more than one dam up there.
cheers

Getting my time down
Did a 'quick' lap on the way home from work.
Warmed up comuting home from North Sydney, and hit the dam track at the end of the road section up from the school, before the 'top' school. Set my stopwatch going at the council caravan at the section behind the houses where the white gravel single track winds through.
Started of pretty well, but took a while to get into the flow along the golf course single track.
Silly Cheapskate Question About Expired Gels
I was going through my pantry and I discovered some Endura and GU energy gels that I thought I would use for Ourimbah this weekend.
The problem is, the gels expired in 2006.
Errr ... for the sake of saving a few dollars, is it worth taking the risk by using them? I'm cheap and I hate to see food go to waste.
Fox Talas stuck at max travel
My Fox Talas are supposed to have or at least it did have 3 travel settings but today its stuck on max travel, anyone had this before or know how to fix it as store I bought it from will send away to be repaired and they're not sure how long this will take and I'd prefer not to send it if there's an easy fix.
Red Hill - technical riding & general funness ** CANCELLED **
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
CANCELLED DUE TO HEAVY RAIN IN RED HILL AREA
-------
This is technical riding at it's best. Want some practice in the best technical riding that Sydney has to offer? Gee, I sound like I'm selling something.
I will be riding this to practice my technical skills. It has been a long time since I have practiced on a track like this. Hopefully the weather remains good. The ride will involve stopping and starting, to play and practice on various parts of the trail.
Cruise around Terry Hills
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terry Hills Tavern Car Park (High Side)
Hi,
Wanna go for a cruise around Terry Hills?
I'm pretty sure that there are no races to train for so there might not be any roidness (is that a word??). Chances are I won't get on a bike until then so i need something nice and easy to get back into the saddle with.
Newcomers are all welcome, some sort of a lights will be needed as the sun will set and we will have to ride in the ordinary dusk sort of light.
Post ride drinks at the beer garden afterwards.

hayes nightmare
had huge brake issues over last 3 weeks, first with a seeming air bubble making front lever go all the way to bars without gripping at random times (usually when i needed it most!) tried bleeding myself *slap* and made it worse, then foolishly squeezed lever with no pads in and popped out piston, then tried to push piston back in, slipped and broke off post, then bought new piston and tried to reinstall, rounding the bridging bolt in the caliper using a worn allen wrench, subsequently tasking it to a shop to get drilled out and rebuilt...THEN got it home to find 5 hours+ of re-bleeding had no
tyre talk
Just wondering what people think is the best xc/am AND dh tyre? something nice and fast for xc stuff, but can handle full downhilling..if there is such a thing! ..and if there is, if there is one that is also less than 2.5"...
cheers, Alex
Bike Advice: Stumpjumper Comp vs Genius MC30
Hi, was gutted last Wed to find my garage open and my slightly ageing but much-loved Giant XTC3 missing. Have just recovered enough to workout that the only way around this is to invest in another bike!
Seems to make sense to go for a dual suspension this time. Could anybody provide an opinion / advice between the Stumpjumper Comp and the Scott Genius 30? Could also look at the Elite/MC20, but not quite conviced at what you get for the extra investment, and for the Scott, have heard that carbon frames can be problematic if you stack...
