Hi, new to MTB and after what tire pressure is recommended on these tyres? side wall markings are very vague...
Main use fire trails bike is a H/T if it makes a difference.
Thanks in advanced.

Bare Creek Mountain Bike Park - Sound too good to be true?

Maybe not. A few dedicated individuals have been attending hours of meetings over the last few years. It may be going to pay big dividends.

There is a meeting for riders being run by paid consultants with IMBA also speaking followed by questions and answers for riders.

Its not yet definite but it is looking better than even odds that riders may have $3.5million dollars to spend on a mountain bike park. This is after the completion of site preparation initial civil works.

saw this today, i thought it was fairly good watching...

Just wondering if anyone have used the shadow plus rear derailleurs on their bike ?And what's the feedback if you have it ?
Supposedly it will give you silent rides, but heavier than the standard derailleurs and requires more maintenance.

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I went ahead & purchased the Garmin edge 800. Would love some advice on what type of maps I need to download? what brand? & where to get them from? I do most of my mountain biking in W.A. Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Dave.

I don't know if anyone else did this, but it was SO AWESOME to get in an after work ride again.

Thank Jebus for Day Light Savings Time!

Red Hill was picture perfect this evening (See image)

Bought a 32t Widgit a month or 2 back, and after examining it closely after things were running a little rough on Friday's ride, its all munted

Its obviously seen some light damage to the guard, but not only are both sides of the guard 'tweaked' a little, but the chainring is too! Even my stock 42t shimano chainring with no protection has survived the same riding wonderfully for far longer.

Maybe it's my massive power that breaks frames and bends chainrings, but it just seems really odd that chainring is bent MORE than the guards?
Is it worth contacting Widgit?

Looking at the Cascades trails database, I notice that the section of Bare Creek Track that comes down off Mona Vale Road just past the slip road (where Narabang Way joins MV road heading westbound) doesn't really feature much (erm, at all).

Is there a reason for this? Not ride-able? Formally closed to mtb? Impassable creek crossing? Fatally boring?

Looking to incorporate it into a bigger loop, if possible.

All the local trail updates are showing green but this is probably due to no one riding in the last few days.
Anyone got a heads up on the state of the trails this morning?
The Dam? Terrey Hills? Red Hill? Cascades?

Hi all, just thought you might be interested in a video of a wood bike that was made in Newcastle by Nic Roberts for his HSC project. The video was shot in Newcastle.

The rims and handlebars are also wooden and are made in Italy
