Riding around Launceston?
We are thinking about going down to Tassie and staying the the vicinity of Launceston for a few days as I've heard there's some fantastic bike tracks in Tasmania, particularly near Launceston.
Has anyone been on holiday to Tasmania with the bike and do they have any suggestions on where to stay/where to go, etc?
Organised ride liability
I recently read an article where 2 mates were riding together on road bikes when one of them hits an object on the road causing him to crash into his mate, the mate suffers a back injury etc. seeks legal advise and sues his mate for negligence, the case goes to court and the Judge rules in his favour awarding the injured mate $1.7m...which brings me to my hyperthetical question.....If I intend to ride say the Oaks trail and put a post up here inviting for others to join me and during the ride someone hits a waterbar goes OTB's breaks their neck am I liable ?
All Mountain Tracks NSW and ACT - Suggestions?
Hi All,
Sorry if this is posted to the wrong place.
My brother and I have the luxury (or lack of forward thinking) to be jobless at the moment. We both quit our jobs, and for the short term, just want to ride.
We're about a month in, and looking to expand our usual riding selections. I'm pretty sure we hit the most common. We hit Ourimbah most commonly, then Awaba or Manly / Hornsby for a quick strap.
Stuff like the gravity enduro / downhill sections are definitely our preference (eg, we loved Stromlo when we visited). Any good suggestions? Happy to drive a couple of hours.

Australian MTB Market Profile Survey
Dirt Art are conducting a survey to profile the Australian mountain bike market. They are making the results public and free to use, which will be valuable to event and trails advocacy organisations such as PMBC and WAMBA.
From Dirt Art:
The Australian MTB industry is lacking an understanding of the mountain bike community, it's users, their interests, wants and their needs. Dirt Art have decided to take matters into our own hands and develop a national market profile survey.
Turning 10 speed into a 11 speed
Hi all, just wondering if anyone out there knows if a 11 speed cassette will fit on a 10 speed wheel?
My wheels are Easton haven.
Thanks for any input.

Bush Fire Advice
The recent fires in a popular riding area of the Perth Hills have highlighted the potential risk to mountain bikers. Bushfires occur every year in Western Australia. Safe mountain biking means planning for bushfire emergencies before leaving home.
Avoid riding in the bush on days of severe, extreme or catastrophic fire danger or if there is smoke or fire in the area. You can check the Fire Danger Ratings on the Department of Fire & Emergency Services (DFES) website:
