Rode the track today for the first time. It really did live up to all the great reviews I've read, the Hornsby riders and council did an amazing job. Did the green, blue and black 3 times each and even though I'd classify myself as an intermediate rider, I felt confident (but not totally) after the 2nd time round and could make most of the obstacles, except a couple of the logs. The switch backs and bridges were angled perfectly.

I rode these for the first time today on a Trance 29er and had 2 crashes on gravelly turns. I suspect that the tread is too open, it moves around and slips quite a bit, but the edge looks good and it climbs well.

I'm used to Spesh Fast Tracks.

What are your thoughts or experiences?

I'm going to head down to Wingello tomorrow morning and wondered if anyone had ridden there recently and know the condition of the trails.

If someone has a recent trace of the red and yellow loops I could have, that would be great.

Thanks, Pete

They make a claim at being the worlds most comfortable bike saddle with their patent design.

They look very interesting and have grabbed my attention. I'm Wondering if anyone else has tried one of these or have an opinion.

Hey guys
looking for some expert advice. I am a bit bored of manly dam so want to go to oxford falls. However im not sure if im ready. I have been off 6-7 foot drops,does that mean i can go? or should i wait till im better. I m not gonna lie im pretty nervous. Really appreciate some feed back.

I did a bit of an overhaul on my bike this afternoon and noticed the cranks were a bit stiff to turn, after further investigation it turns out the right hand side BB bearing has seized. As I'm up for a replacement, I thought I may as well upgrade at the same time. The only problem is, I don't know how to read the markings and work out what size I'm looking for. Here are a couple of pics, if someone would be so kind as to de-code them for me.

Hi ,Does anyone know where to buy a 9mm quick release to 15 mm through axel adaptor for a front wheel bike carrier . I've tried Thule and they said at least 6 weeks. Bike addiction are also a couple of weeks to get them. I'm not sure if Rola make one . Or does anyone have one they no longer need and want to sell. I'm on the Northen Beaches. Thanks

Enduro, Endurance,,, Just putting it out there, it appears there’s a difference of opinion from one continent to another. We (Aussies) put Enduro into the category of greater than 6hours XC type race?? Yes, No ?? I’m open to be corrected. The Canadians and Europeans put Enduro into the category of timed special sections and transport stages. Very similar concept to Motorcycle Enduro’s or even Rally car racing. So we have XC, DH, AM, DJ, Trials, and Enduro. (I may of missed some genres.) Or is an Enduro a long XC race or simply a AM race.

G'day Peeps!
Went for a city ride with the kids yesterday, and came back to our chained up bikes to discover a large puddle of fluid under my bike. Investigation found source was my Fox RP23 rear shock. There's actually oil all around its position to I'm guessing some seal failed pretty suddenly. In effect I've lost all damping (it still rests where it should, but now just bounces like a pogo stick).

Just a reminder for those interested the Absa Cape Epic starts today.

Being the 10th anniversary of the event, and the number of pro teams entered this year, it is sure to be an exciting event.
Sauser & Kulhavy will be very hard to beat, especially as they are riding in memory of the late Burry Stander.
