Nobby Nic Trailstar and Pacestar
OK. Just rode the KC circuit this morning and it's time to hang up my very worn tires - it was like riding on ice (frozen water not Meth).
I'm about to buy some Nobby Nics and just wanted to know which compound to use on the front and back.
Cheers.
PS. Saw an awful lot of blokes clad head to toe in lycra this morning on the trails....sinister.
STOLEN - 2008 Specialized Stumpjumper Elite
Hi All,
Returned from a holiday to find my bike nicked between the dates 14/12/2015 - 15/01/2016.
Stolen from a storage cage inside a 'secure' garage in Rosebery, NSW.
The bike (see picture) has a Thomson stem and seat post with a Gobi XM saddle.
Police have said there have been numerous break-ins to storage cages in the area.
If anyone sees it out and about please let me know.
Thanks, Zeb

Any mtb entrepreneurs out there?
Ku-ring-gai Council are looking for expressions of interest in developing commercial opportunities around St Ives Showground and the Wildflower Gardens.

While they seem to have overlooked mtb facilities in their possible scope of operations, there is maybe an opportunity there?

Carbon Frame Re-Painting
Hi All,
I have recently purchased a rather nice 2nd hand carbon road bike but the paints have seen better days especially around the chainstays where the are a few chips.
Anyone know what the ballpark figure is for a good re-paint job and if anyone can recommend a good mob that will that sort of work around the Sydney area ?
I don't need any fancy paint job a single color will probably do me just fine.
Thanks,
Mario

New to Town
Hey everyone -
Thought I would introduce myself!
Just moved to the Northern Beaches from Vancouver, Canada back in January. Recently married and purchased a company out of Mona Vale so my stay is permanent.
Picked up a new Specialized Camber 29 and looking to get out on the trails.
New to the area and haven't had a chance to meet any new people yet. Would love to get out on the trails and meet some new people.
Feel free to send me a note if anyone would like to head out and have some fun on the bikes.
Cheers
Jason
Junk left on tracks...
Hi Guys
I get that things fall off bikes, and sometimes it's not until you get to the end of the track (or home) that you realise you've dropped something. However, I was pretty disappointed when riding Gahnia track the other day I saw that someone had replaced their inner tube and just chucked the old one into the bushes. I stopped to recover it, which was annoying on many levels...
Whoever did that, if you took an extra tube in, you can take the old one out too.
Let's keep the tracks clean.

MTB, camping and fishing
Hi, anyone suggest a trail mid to north coast of NSW to drive to, ride to a fairly remote spot, pitch a tent and fish? Looking forward to some suggestions, thanks.
A short lap of Rydal
Rydal is cool in that you can link segments together in a myriad of different ways to keep it all fresh
This week we did out Jive Turkey, then crossed over to link in Robbies Run. Up Snake tails. Hard right and into Hazard County. Hard left and back along the dump run.
I caught lap on the gopro using a gimbal mounted to chesty
Lap 1

A little faster chasing Watto and Gav down Hazard County
Lost sunnies at knapsack
Hi all i know its a little off topid and indeed slighlty off tne trail,but i just lost my favourite sunglasses along the path between the bmx jumps and lennox bridge so im a little desperate, re traced my steps a bunch of times but no luck,if any one comes across them please send me a message. Was my first time riding through there in a decade, great to see it all so legit after the dissapointing vigilante mobs of the lower blue mountains bulldozing of my childhood trails!
James Estate track.
Hi peoples.
I'm looking at the Jetblack 24hr coming up at the James Estate Winery. I'm just interested in the track...
Is it similar in elevation / tightness / bumpiness to Awaba?
Why - why not?
Cheers.

Bike bag QR to Tru Axle conversion
Does anyone have any suggestions for converting a Scicon bikebag with a QR system to fit my MTB with Tru Axle's? I see there is a Thule add on but it's a bit steep at $80.
Thanks
Canberra this weekend
Hi all Canberra people
I am heading down from newy this arvo after work to visit a non-mountain biking mate.
What has the weather been like down there this week? I've always wanted to check out stromlo or sparrow hill, is it worth bringing the bike, given the amount of rain we have had lately?
Maps
Hi,
I'm about to move over to Manly and am wondering what the best maps people are using for Garmin Edge units. I am able to get hold of the Garmin Topo maps for cost but have heard not so great reports on them. (maybe why I can get them cheap)
