After a seat post to take some of the jarring out of the hardtail and give me 50+ back some relief. Anyone tried the carbon flexi seat posts? Someone put me onto the Syntace P6 carbon flex seat post and by all reports, looks to be what I am looking for. Just wondering if anyone here has bought one? They are pretty expensive, but worth the relief I imagine.
cheers

Just received an email informing me that they are going start building a downhill track at Knapsack.

You're receiving this email from us because you participated in the online discussions or you have opted to receive updates for Knapsack Park Downhill Bike Track: Update at Blue Mountains Have Your Say.
Blue Mountains City Council would like you to know that construction of the Knapsack Park Downhill Bike Track is due to commence on Wednesday 7th March 2013.

Lately I've been doing alot more night riding. While copping a bug in the mouth sucks. I bug blinding you at high speed is worse. I think i need to invest in some glasses that are ideally suitable for day and night. I also find I loose depth perception wih glasses. Im not sure if this common for others or because of my eyes or because I have only ever used service station cheapies in the past.

Whats you recommendations?

These got my attention.

Well I know this is a tough dirty sport and these bikes were designed to take it all in and last forever.....NOT!

With all the rain lately and probably more coming, what do the sages reckon about riding in the rain?

I know that riding in the rain and the trails is not great for your bike due to the obvious grit wear and tear, especially on the drive train; then of course there are the trails that suffer from riding on them when it's wet....no brainer!

So what about riding in the rain on the asphalt...for a few hours at a time.....what sort of damage can be done?

Does anybody know the conditions down there and how it maybe for the race next weekend. Thanks

Just sayin.

Morning gents,
keen for a ride tomorrow morning, but after all this rain, not sure which tracks are not too wet. I have ridden the Perimeter track a couple of times after its rained and found it lots of fun, although a few puddles, but hey, isnt getting dirty some of the fun? Manly dam I see is closed, how about Bairne or can someone recommend other trails? I'm relatively new to MTB so something around intermediate level, thanks!

hI all

thats where i got it from

Hi all,

I've been looking for a new wheelset for a while and have narrowed it down to either: 1) 2012 Easton Havoc UST, or 2) 2013 Mavic EX823 on Hope EVO 2 ....

Both are UST out-of-the-box (a must). The price difference isn't all that great between the two, so that's not really a factor.

I'm a little concerned though, that the Havoc's might be a bit more trouble if/when you need to replace spokes (not as readily available?), and that there were problems reported with bearing preloads from some users (maybe fixed in newer versions) ?.

i read something about a track called 'amazon', apparently its at awaba? can anybody provide more information or does it not exist?
