Lost my Garmin today at wingello state forest on the red loop within 7km of the start. I would love it back, it has all my data. please contact Bernie 0415627285 if found

Hi Folks,

My saddle and bars are at roughly the same level even though my stem is flipped and I have removed the spacers. I am keen to drop the handlebars to get more weight over the front wheel and guess the most logical way is to get a stem with more of an angle (mine is very little....on the Giant XTC 29er).

If anyone has a spare stem lying around that I could try for a couple of weeks, I would be very appreciative. I could then either buy it from you if it works well or return to you if you don't want to sell it (or if the angle is wrong).

Thanks
Ian

Hi,

My brother is returning to Oz for 2 weeks after defecting 10 years ago to Ireland. He a a MTB club member there in Dublin and we would like to have a ride or two when he is here.

I was in Canada recently and hiring/demoing a $3-4k dually in Rocky Mountains is no sweat at all. Haven't found anywhere that does similar grade of bike here - anyone have any suggestions?

Hi guys! I'm new in this forum and I could say in Australia as well. I came in to Sydney from Spain in January 2012 and I'd be glad to join you. I don't know anyone riding MTB here. I live in Seaforth and I wonder where do I can catch you up.
I really love this country and MTB, so I think it could be the best way to discover these beautiful places over here!!
I hope there is any one keen to ride with a Spaniard!!

With Kowalski classic comming up very soon, this weekend should feature a decent training ride and then taper for two weeks. Is anyone planning to inflict some serious pain upon themselves and wants to a to join forces to make the training extra fast and hard? I can only do saturday and plan to do 70 to 80ks somewhere. NOTE, this is completely non social. No stops, no waiting - just training.

Any one intrested? suggested rides?

Looking for mountain bike trails information and or a guide for rides in and around the Nowra Kangaroo valley area. I've checked out SCUM website but i'm after more. I have to visit the relatives in November so why not take the bike.
Is it best that i hire a bike but bring a couple of things, seat , pedals, spares etc. or just stuff it and bring the bloody lot.
My first preference is to be escorted around by a local, I lived in Nowra some 20 years ago and would really like to get off the roads and explore the tracks.
I'm more about exploring xc trails not doing lap after lap stuff.

it's happened again. a bike has been ripped off. this time mine. anyone see a 08 yeti asr (Turq/white) with a spanking new sid rtc3 (white) some red metal 3 hoops - etc let me know. Also been told by someone at nobmob that they had a roadie pinched from Lawson St Mudgee which is just around the corner from me. I recon anyone in Mudgee should keep a pretty keen on their gear at the moment.

Now that I have sold my car, i'm no longer able to get to Manly Dam easily from Neutral Bay (not too keen about riding on military road).

I'm looking for some alternative tracks that are accessible by train. I can quite easily get to North Sydney train station any time at the weekend, and am looking for something with a similar ride style to Manly dam.

Any ideas? I've been thinking about catching the train to Heathcote and riding in the national park. Bit of a hike though...

Hi

I have lost one of my Mavic 15 mm front spacers - a result of having to take my front wheel off every time I transport my bike on the back of the car (otherwise the exhaust 'bubbles' the UST tyre ).

Anyways, does anyone have a set of 2012 15mm spacers lying around that they might sell me?

Regards

Richard

This isnt exactly a MTB post but I'm sure i'm not the only one commuting from the northern beaches (Manly in this case) to the city. This means crossing the harbour bridge twice daily and so far I've never had any trouble apart from the occasional near miss when some weekend warrior decides to overtake at the last minute and misjudges the gap.
Until yesterday morning.
Coming into the city I made it all the way to the down ramp where another cyclist ran wide on the little right hand bend and crashed into me - head on.
