I've been running the standard Stans kit to convert my non-ust rims & tyres to tubeless lately but I've had 2 of the rims strips fail in the last couple of months. Somehow the valve has come away from the rubber rim strip & it no longer holds air. The liquid doesn't seem to be able to seal it & I have to buy a whole new rim strip. When the first one failed I thought, ok just one of those things, but after the second one failed in exactly the same way it made me concerned. Has anybody else had this happen? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi All

Been looking around at some of the numerous MTB clubs/MTB sites on the internet and NoBMoB really appears to be a step above (no disrespect to other clubs/associations - just my high level view), especially in terms of inviting new members on board.

Hi All
I'm about to build myself a modest 29er hardtail using a new frame, fork and wheelset plus a heap of old cast offs.
If you are running big wheels at the moment I am interested in your views on the following:
1. With the bigger wheels & weighing 85kg would I be better off using 180 discs than 160s? (XT brakes)
2. I will be using an old 9 speed 42,32,24 - 12-34 gear set up. What would you recomend as a good 29er gear spread? I was considering a 2 x 10 set up.
3. Do the same tyre combinations work for 29"? If so I'll probably stick to Schwalbe or Maxxis.

Feedback appreciated.

Hi all,

I rode this trail quite a few times and I do it the following way:

1) Entering at the end of Stewart Ave, Hornsby.
2) Going all the way down to the bridge and then up until I reach that picnic area.

And here's the question - is there anywhere to go from there? I always turn around at that point and return to Steward Ave..

I heard there's more and I tried once to continue on a trail that starts from the far right side of the picnic area, but it got me no where and I turned around at some point, not sure where this trail leads to.

Relatively new to the sport only been on the glenrock tracks twice and love it,bought a second hand silver mongoose tyax,needed a few dollars spent on it and away i go.What a fantastic sport and pastime,that i intend to continue for years to come.happy riding to all

Hi guys,
I run a commercial photography studio and I'm looking to get some big shots around oxford falls for an application I want to lodge in to Redbull.
If anyone here is willing to take some big drops and would like to help me out in getting some awesome photos it would be great.

It would be a proper shoot with generators and lights etc so it is an opportunity that you wont get very often.

with all the recent rain I've had the need to use the Weather and Trail Status features more than I would like to. So just wanted to say thanks to you and those that update them as they are very useful resources to use when deciding whether or not to hit the trails. We headed to Wingello on Sunday with a rather large group, I used the Weather section for historical rainfall and the weatherchannel for current situation. It rained for the first 5-10min of the ride but then the sun came out and we had an awesome ride. Trails were in perfect condition.
Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone! Last week I enquired with NPWS if it was okay to ride a small trail that loops off/onto Perimeter. This trail is signposted with horses permitted on it. I have received the following response from the Rangers office. They confirm this track allows both horse riders and MTB riders. I have updated the Terrey Hills page http://nobmob.com/rides/terreyhills

I believe the track you are referring to is the Wilkins Loop North Track that is signposted with horses permitted on it. This track allows both horse riders and MTB riders.

Just as a FYI, about an hour ago I popped in to the Forestville shops on my way further a field.

There was a lady there with a petition against the proposed MTB tracks in Garigal NP.

I didn't have much time as I had my mum waiting in the car but I stopped quickly and had a quick chat.

Her main concerns were destroying pristine native bush which had been this way for thousands of years and the fact once mountain bikes were allowed in, motorbikes would come in and create noise and be a fire hazard not to mention damage the tracks.
