Anyone have an update on when the new trails out at Hornsby can be ridden? Last update on the Synergy Facebook page was that a couple of trees came down across the track (The Big Dippa) that had to be removed. That was back on December 12.

I know it was due to be opened early to mid December, so it must be close now??

Is anyone from anywhere near Orange going to this?

I'm keen to go though would like to share travel.

There's a mate from Melbourne going who told me it is a fantastic event.

Hi,
I'm Looking for a replacement H/S and am finding conflicting info. Is anyone able to confirm if it is an internal or integrated?
Thanks

I'm not looking to buy, but since I'm fixing my Spesh Stumpjumper FSR 100 up currently I idly searched around and I didn't find a single XT level 26" bike, or race light frame, from any of the big brands.

They all appear to be fully pushing 29ers, even though they may prove to be a fad and/or get superseded by 650b.

I'm only about 170cm tall so I can't imagine a 29er working for me, especially as I like to carve through singletrack best.

Hi All

I had my first ride in a couple of months today which was also the first ride on my new dually (Superlight 26") frame coming from a hardtail. Even though I am out of form the bike was great and smoothed out a lot of things.

Hi All!

Has anyone come across anyone using an OFFROAD HANDCYCLE in Perth or Australia in general?

Most of you won't know what an offroad handcycle is or looks like, so check out the picture I have attached. There are different variations but this is the most robust design and price I have found on the market (Poland).

Simply speaking, its a tricycle primarily for those with no, or limited leg function. I broke my back 4 years ago MTB in QLD and will be getting one of these beasts mid 2013 and hitting the tracks again before my 5 year mark.

I've broke a rear spoke on a Mavic Crossmax ST wheel and am finding it acpain to find a replacement.
Can anyone suggest a shop they know in Sydney(North) that deals with Mavic?
Or an even longer shot, has anyone got a spare spoke, maybe from a damaged/old/worn out Crossmax ST?
Thanks in advance,
Gazza

NSW National Parks have a mountain biking survey under way for the northern parts of Sydney.

Here is the link; http://www.landscapemap2.org/nswmtnbike/

Here is the blurb

Welcome to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Visitor Activity Survey--Mountain Biking!

We need your help!

This survey is part of a broader visitor activity survey testing new methods for gathering information to help us understand our visitor needs and preferences, and to inform experience development and management planning in our parks.

Bungarra Alpine Centre has a new trail network with approx 20km singletrack, skills area, pump track, jumps line, pocket park- just 5km from Jindabyne. Visit www.bungarra.com.au for more info on how to ride on the trails at Bungarra. Accommodation is available for small groups or large groups up to 200people.

I've recently started using Strava and quite like what it has to offer.

The only thing I'm having a problem with is, if I have my ride as private, I cant see where I'm ranked on the segments. Is there a way of changing this?

I don't mind having my mtb rides public as I don't start from the front door of my house. But when I'm doing a road ride, I don't like the thought of advertising to the world that I have a half decent bike in the shed. Surely there's a lot of other people with this opinion or am I just missing a setting in the program?
