Dumping at Oxford Falls
Hey guys,
think this is the right spot for this but this afternoon a couple of mates and i were out riding Oxford falls. When we'd finished and were packing up to leave at the bottom of the hill we noticed an old bloke come in with a cruddy old ute (looked like an old ford courier or similar) loaded up with a trailer..
29er Tyre
This is the tyre I'm running on my 29er. Its a Kenda Karma 29 x 1.9. I'm running it tubeless with 60g of sealant. So far I like them and at 539g they seem really good
29er HT Ride Review So Far...
Thought I would give an update of how the new bike is going. Having never owned a hard tail before and been riding bikes with 120mm+ travel for the past few years it was a bit of a gamble going for what I did. After a bit of internet research, no test rides at all, I decided on the Agogo 29er HT. The reason I went for this one was purely I loved the way it looked and I thought that's as good of a reason for me to go for it
Self filmed
Picked up this frame a while ago but as I hadn't had time for DH of late it's been collecting dust.
Last week I had a bit of spare time so thought I'd build it up with parts off my old Norco in the hopes it would inspire me to get back into it.
Here's my first test ride with some self shot footage using the contour 1080p taped to trees or set up on the back of the ute and stuff.

The verdict?
Craig Gordon in hit-and-run?
It has just been posted up on Rotorburn that Gordo got hit by a car in a hit-and-run yesterday somewhere west and broke his back and is presently in hospital. Apparently has feeling back in his hands and feet but can't remember much.
If true, please accept my wishes and prayers for a quick recovery, mate.
If anyone can confirm and has more details, would be grateful if you could post some info.
Handlebars and Stems - Help!!
I have been looking at this handlebar http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/HB402A00-...
It would be going on to an Anthem X 29er but it is a 25.4mm and is a 2009 model. It looks to me like all the bars these days are 31.8mm. Does this make a difference and should I avoid this bar. Clearly I am very clueless in this area so any expert help is appreciated.
Cheers

Terrey Hills/Central Track status
Hi, am thinking of heading to central track near Jap schools on Sunday morning. Any reports of track status, after heavy rain this week?
Menai conditions???
Has anybody been to Menai / Lucas heights in the last day or so?
Is it a muck fest or looking pretty good?
I rode there a couple of weeks ago and it was nasty.
Anybody got any good news??
PLEASE!!!!
Oxford Falls/Cascades status
I'd appreciate it if someone could advise on that - now after three days of sun/breeze - whether Oxford Falls and/or Cascades would be _allowed_ to ride on Sunday, 19th June.. The lights for both are green - not that I trust them.. and I understand Manly Dam has been closed for works for some time now..
Found a multitool
Hi all,
I found a multi-tool while out walking today. PM me the type and where you lost it and it is yours.

Lane cove very soon, anyone?
I've never ridden lane cove before, but have some time to go ride and its right down the street, so I'm thinking I will check it out this afternoon. On the off-chance any interested parties read this in the next 10 or so minutes (sorry), if youd like to join that would be awesome!

Chain Reaction stuff ups
Just wondering how many of you fellow MTBers have had orders through chain reaction cycles that have gone pear shaped?
My latest order they did not send one item, which just happened to be the most expensive.
I am awaiting what they will do.
My order before that they sent me the wrong rims, in the wrong colour.
Just my little rant as you can tell I'm not happy. Guess its a given with their low prices.

How wet is Lane Cove today?
Has anyone ridden Lane Cove today? If so please update the trail status. I'm planning to ride there tomorrow and Sunday... I'm guessing it will be pretty wet for the next few days.
Maintenance courses or seminars ?
Hi Does any body know of any good mountain bike repair and maintenance courses ran by any local bike shop in Sydney.I would like to do more of my own work at home.Cheers
MOGO ride options 1.5 hours only
Howdy,
I'm down in Batemans bay and i've heard the Mogo singletrack is awesome! No where near as good as tathra but still pretty awesome. Every map I find on the internet shows the Angry Doctor 50 and 100 km loops. I do not have time to do a 50 km loop tomorrow..... so I was wondering if anyone knows a 1.5 hour ride in Mogo which incorporates some of this sweet singletrack I hear so much about.
Cheers

Jesmond Mountainbike Trails
Some big news coming out of Jesmond.
After a few emails I had a chat with Council today and they are keen to see mtb legitimized in Jesmond, but they also want to see a decent sized race put on.
They seem to be pushing the healthy lifestyle aspect, the fact it links by cycleway to much of the NCC population. We are starting by mapping the trails, but they have a very open mind and maybe with some planning an inner city DH type trail could be possible (not promising anything).
Yellomundee?
Looking around for places to ride this weekend and the weather page shows very little rainfall out that way, yet no one seems to be organizing a ride out here. I've never ridden there before and know very little about it, so i was just wondering if there is any local knowledge that is putting people off? If it is open would anyone be keen to come out and show me around, or if your new to it yourself just come along and we can wing it.
riding wingello
It would appear that wingello has had only light rain over the past week and therefore may be the closest chance for some off road fun this weekend ,so I reckon I might head down on sunday morning for a few hours .anyone interested in this also? if so I will post it up.
Mt York conditions
Anybody know how Mt York / Lockyers has faired with the recent moisture.
At this rate I'm going to organise my own indoor race around Westfields!!
Blaze - Laser made bike lane, warning device
Fellow Commuters,
Saw this today on "The Vine", looks interesting
Cheers, Scott
Meeting report: Warringah Council 14/6/2011 re: trail works
A number of nobmob and MWMTB members met Council representatives yesterday morning for a couple of hours at Manly Dam rangers’ office to discuss the mountain bike trail works program currently in progress.
The conversation was quite wide ranging. What follows is the high points:
The contractor has completed most of the IMBA master class and is familiar with both mountain biking trail requirements and Sydney sandstone.
