Communting\Training lights
I stepped over to the dark side recently and purchased my first roadie with the intention of getting some mid week training in to make those mtn bike days all the more enjoyable.
On my first evening out I almost got wiped out by a car. I was coming into a poorly light roundabout and the guy obviously didnt look and just pulled out in front of me. I roared, he braked and his bumper stopped inches from my back wheel. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say I wasn't lit up enough. I had a pretty standard job on the front along with one of those LED flashers.
Brakes - Rotors
Hey all, looking for some advice.
I think its time to replace the rotors, (worn and warped), I would like to know what tool to use to unlock the DT Swiss lock ring on the rear wheel. Ive tried my cassette lock tool but its slightly too big. The ring has 12 teeth.
Secondly, can I replace the rotors with any rotor (as long as its the same size) and therein lies an additional question whats a good inexpensive rotor for XC use?
Note, currently have Avid 160mm G3CS's onboard.
Thanks
Manly Dam
Anyone been round the dam recently? - thinking about an afternoon paddle. 2.4 tyres should be enough to hydroplane?

HMBX XC Race Round 2 - Awaba State Forest
I hadn't prepared very well for this event having not ridden my bike or done any form of fitness for the 4 weeks prior to the event (partly due to the rain and partly due to a neck injury after an OTBs earlier in the year). With this in mind I deliberately started at only 80% work rate knowing that I’d struggle towards the end. In true form, I lost nearly 2 minutes on the final lap as I hit the ‘wall’
