Repair stand
I need (want) to buy a repair stand. Seems they having a sale at Torpedo7, and I'm not sure on what to choose.
Chainring bent
What do you reckon (photos attach), a bit of hammering repair will hold? or I better replace?
Frame crack
Interested in any views / recommendations on the safety / feasibility / cost of repairing a badly cracked aluminium frame (see pic). And yes, I should have been using a longer seat post.... 
Cars-v-Bikes War Tonight on 7
Prob more for roadies but then again we all get on the roads sometimes.....Saw a promo that Channel Seven Sunday night tonight August 18th has a story on " The War between Cars and Cyclists" Only watched that show once and realised its sensationalist rubbish so expect the same tonight.
Cascades
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Acron oval
Late notice but had a brain wave and thought i would go on a ride sunday morning. BTW i no my chances are slim getting recruits as there are other rides happening and late notice - either way, always a good alternative to hit up old faithful!
Everyone welcome, nothings set in stone except for riding cascades (not fussed what config)
Withdrawn: 2008 Yeti 575 (Small)
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
Its a sad day when you have to sell an old favourite.
This beyond doubt is the 'funnest' bike I have owned. Nimble enough for some XC and tough enough to do what its best at All Mountain.
But I need to move on and make space in the garage for the new steed which is about to arrive.
This bike has been maintained without expense over its life, and upgraded with care as you will see from the specs below.
Fork & Shock serviced in last 6 mths, only 3 - 4 hrs worth of riding since service.
This is a unique bike that someone needs another good home.
Specs are as follows:
Affiliate Deals
In case you missed it, we've recently joined a number of affiliate programs for online retailers - look... down there in the footer 
Now, I know this (shopping online versus with your LBS) is a contentious issue, but... there is a lot of chat in the forum about shopping and the options are well known.
Please try and support your LBS if you can, there is good value to be had in many local stores, and sometimes you cannot beat seeing an item in the flesh before buying.
Nice and easy Manly Dam ride Saturday morning, new rider to site.
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Hi all
New rider to site, so thought I'd be brave and send out a late notice for a ride.
I've done manly dam only once and fitness is a little lacking at moment so ill be taking it nice and steady tomorrow.
Not sure the normal way to confirm, so if interested just drop me a text or call, 0402962060,
Cheers

Terrey hills / St Ives
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
An alternative to the standard Terrey Hills ride of Perimeter/long, starting at the shops and taking in some single trail past manly BMX track, a bit of bitumen before cascades and more single track then down Heath, up quarry, across mona vale road and a blast through st ives sniggle. Past the BMX track again back to Terrey Hills and then a loop of duck holes/centre trail to finish up.
Ryland update for 16 Aug
Rode Ryland / Cooyong / Neverfail / Larool loop today. The first part of Ryland is pretty sandy but had had a couple of trucks along it to tamp it down. That won't last as it dries further. The Cooyong descent is a bit loose and sketchy (why did they wait until half way down the really steep bit to put up the sign warning that it's a bit steep??). The rest of Cooyong / Neverfail is like it has always been, chopped up by horses, sandy and with a few boggy bits. Some work has been done on the hill on Larool, making it a bit like a freeway for the moment.
