tubeless tyres
i have bought a new bike a few months ago with tubeless rims. i fitted tubes as advised and am happy with them. the only downside seems to be that the range of tyres and price if i were to look for medium compound tyres 26 x 2.15 what would you suggest?
FS: Shimano CN-7401 8-speed Chain
I'm trying to make more space at home and this chain is the first to go.
It is still in its box and plastic wrap. It is from the XTR/Dura Ace gruppo and I believe it is from the mid 90s.

Week 5 25th June 07
Good or bad, the first step at refocusing myself is to get back into this blog, actually found this mornings write up of the last week a little cathartic. One thing I did take out of last week was that the cravings increased relative to the decrease in exercise. I had actually noticed this by about midweek and made the point of exercising when the cravings hit, to my surprise they actually did go away. Now just the will power to see it through. This may have been common knowledge to soem or all of you but it is not something I have ever correlated before.
Over 18s Section?
An anonymous (well - I, and a few of you will know who I'm talking about) has posted a picture of a very nasty looking injury he received the other day.
This is sat waiting to be moderated, and to be frank, I think it's too horrific to go public.
What are the people's thoughts on this sort of thing? Do we need an over 18's (or 'tasteless') section? Or should these sick puppies ( meant in the nicest possible way 
) stick to posting their pics on other places?
Single-Speed Mountain Bikes
Hi all,
Has anyone had experience with Single speed mountain Bikes.
I am think of adding one to my 2 mountian bikes i have already.
I mainly want to use it as a backup bike in case my commuter fails and also a backup and the occasional lap or 2 at 8/12/24 hr events.
I am particularly interested in this bike http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/bikes/07_bikes/exi...
prices are about $1500-$1700 au and seems pretty good value, front suspension with lockout, hydro brakes, parts seem to be mid range and this is cool as this will not be my main bike. Weighs about 12kgs
Tubeless
Can anybody give me a crash course in running tubeless tyres.
I've just bought a bike on Ebay and it has Mavic X819 wheels with Hutchinson Python NG tubeless.
What pressure do I run them at?
Do I need to use Stan's no tubes or the like?
What happens if they deflate - can I just pump them up again?
Is there any special maintenance required?
I'm about 85 kilo's, ride trails and wouldn't jump off anything over 1 metre.
Red Hill idiots
Well it looks like we may have some future problems at Red Hill due to farkin idiots burning cars dumping rubbish and general un- wanted behaviour. The top car park trailhead has been closed and there are some notices around on the trails regarding endangered species , which could end up being "us".
There has been heaps of kids fanging around on those crappy ebay moto thumpers and also a lot of guys on unregisterd trail bikes using the grass area and tracks as speedway tracks, and a lot of the trails are being chewed up .
Weigh in week 4.7 24th June 07
To say I have struggled this week would be an understatement. Have given in numerous times to cravings, particularly the sweet kind. The Black Dog has started to raise his ugly head over the fence again and I'm doing my best to knock it back into place. It is absolutely amazing how the weather and little things beyond your control can affect moods. Really haven't kept any logs / diaries this week. Suffice to say that it would be nothing to brag about if I had, no early morning walks at all, very little static / strength exercise, only on the trainer twice that I can think of.
