More Edge 500 issues
Oh dear - more Garmin Edge issues 
I have an Edge 500 which has been working perfectly for years. I use this with a HRM and speed/cadence sensor.
This week though it failed to 'boot' (for want of a better word) so I gave it a factory reset. Seemed to work fine.
Fox Float RP23 rear shock
So attempting to set the sag tonight I've let ALL the air out and still am short of the requires 25%. Is my shock buggered or do I just weigh less than a fly.
At 75kg I doubt it.
It's been working fine till now I just thought I'd do front and rear sag and a bit of a general fit as I've only had the bike a few weeks and have been to busy having fun on it to do it properly.
Do you have to use a genuine Fox air pump to do it right or will any shock pump suffice.
heers guys

Tubeless tires??
Hey!
OK, I'm tired of getting flats, and have made the decision to go tubeless. So I'm wondering if any of you guys and girls have any recommendations for which ones to choose? Well I'm pretty sure there is a lot of opinions out there 
A few things about my riding that may help in providing me with some advise. I'm riding a Trek Fuel EX 7, my local track is Manly Dam, I'm not a downhill rider but enjoy fast descents and fast flowing single track and some technical climbs. In March I'm riding Capital Punishment. Think that's about it..
Cheers!
Most pleasant route between City and Turramurra
Hey Fellas,
Just wondering how you folk North of the bridge manage to ride between city and Turramurra without using the Pacific Highway?.
I rode out last week from city to Turramurra, BH,GG, BW, BH, back to Turramurra which was really nice, but the Pacific Highway between North Sydney and Turramurra was horrible, Any tips on how to avoid it?
Cheers String
Withdrawn: Highland Fling 2012 $100
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
100km entry into the Highland Fling. Love this event but unfortunately racing is just not possible for me until after the new year. Please see my profile for mobile number or email daveh_2001@hotmail.com
Entries can be transferred until Monday afternoon otherwise you can ride as me (you're likely to get a better than me at the moment anyway!).
Fling Training
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Next to the tip entrance (grassed area) on The Bucketts Way (between Tinonee and Purfleet).
Looking to get a last longish training ride in before the Fling while I'm up north visiting family.
I'm envisaging a couple of trips up Heart Rate Hill and the fire road that takes you to the top of Skull and Son of Skull, as well as the normal XC loop.
Company is welcome. It's been awhile so I'm not sure of the state of the circuit markings, so if you're a local your company would be particularly appreciated.
See you there.
Bike insurance
Hi
Both me and the missus have just purchased some fairly nice bikes and need to think about insurance.
Any help on what people do in this regard? Add it on to home contents? Specialised policy?
I have had a quote from velosure but don't really have anything to compare it against etc..
Cheers
Phil?
Please explain bastard, that was my last KOM as they've all been taken over the last few months. I don't think it's related at all to the fact that I'm getting fat and lazy.
I guess you earned that one given the only time I've ridden that hill was the time you and I wheezed our way up it trying to follow Don. Glad to see you're getting out there
Lifetime warranty means...
... Cannondale expect you to die in the next 5-7 years, it seems.

Hi xxxxxx,
Appin update for 01 Nov
From WMBC...
APPIN MOUNTAIN BIKE TRACKS
The Wollongong Mountain Bike Club was formally advised this week of the outcome of the latest Board Meeting of the Tharawal Land Council. The news was not good. The Council has informed us that they will not allow us to use their land for Mountain Biking. This follows weeks of lobbying and attempts to make presentations to the Council. In the end the outcome rested on a single letter that we were allowed to present putting forward our case.
This is a devastating result and one that will affect hundreds of people from the Mountain Biking Community.
The Land Council stated when asked for the reasoning behind their decision....
“This decision was reached with concerns as to the impact on the environment of the land and impact on the cultural heritage of the land.”
When asked whether this affected all bike riding on the land?
“It is private land, therefore, like anyone else's private property, any access without authorisation is considered trespassing.”
The Wollongong Mountain Bike Club will continue to lobby for access to the land in an attempt to persuade the Council that MTB is not only a positive healthy pursuit, but that it can be done in a sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion. The benefits of MTB in the area spread well beyond just the physical benefit to the participants, but the presence of MTB’ers in the area has also reduced the impact of motor bikes, 4 wheel drives, dumping and other less desirable pursuits that have carried on in the area prior to WMBC setting up a track there.
Unfortunately they may be mistaking us for Motor bikes or Four Wheel drives, both of which have caused significant damage in this and other areas.
We, as Mountain Bikers embrace the natural and unspoilt settings that we ride in. Our aim is to retain the environmental and cultural value of the land.
Should anyone have connections or influence with the Land Council please don’t hesitate to make contact with them to try and convince them of our motives. Any contact with the Council must be made in a civil and constructive manner in order to benefit the MTB cause. Copies of any correspondence sent to the Council should be copied to us to help our lobbying efforts.
We are now searching for a suitable site to build another track. Any suggestions here would be helpful..................
