Hi All,
Has anyone attempted converting the Syncros DP 25 rims to tubeless ? and how did it go as I am thinking of converting but would like to know if its compatible and worth doing on these rims.

Thanks
Matt

There are often questions about clipless pedals here. Yes, rather strangely named as these are the ones that you clip into as opposed to flats.

Anyhow, people often ask, "Are they hard to get used to?", and, "Will I fall off?".

Invariably the answers are: "Sometimes" and "Yes!"

Just wanted to share our experience this arvo with Pratiwi having her first attempt at clipless on the MTB. We went to a local park and cycled about 10 laps of a soccer field. The ground was damp so nice and soft. And lucky too, she was on the floor very soon

Moggio and I are getting to Woodford for rego about 8am

Anyone who wants to meet up with us and the BMORC crew

Track should be great with the unexpected nice sunny afternoon

Recently on NoBMoB...

Well done to everyone who competed in last weekend's Husky Enduro 2010. Especially the first timers and those posting impressive times. Sounds like a great event, but where were the pictures?

Camera work was not lacking at Glenrock though, when sammydog and crew showed off their latest trailwork from last weekend. When will we get the chance to do this on the Northern Beaches? Who knows, but at least Warringah Council began their PoM meetings this week so here's hoping they take note of the great feedback given. Whilst nrthrnben reminded us to help out our interstate riding buddies, but time is running out - like today!

For those feeling a little flush, Rob asked if anyone knew of any worthy bike related charities, and had a couple of suggestions. Of course, sometimes just entering an event is the way to go. Don't forget this year's Woodford to Glenbrook Classic is on this Sunday. It may be too late to get an entry, but just be aware if you plan on riding the Oaks this weekend - Sunday morning is probably out, and take care of walkers all day.

With the trails still pretty damp in our area, the pick of this weekend's riding will probably be craked's just another manic menai or <cough>the blackstuff... again!</cough>. Or if you can't get up to the mountains this weekend, but maybe fancy a late night on Wednesday, the BMORC guys will be going for a night ride - Glenbrook to the Oaks then.

I see from the calendar there is racing on Sunday at Awaba.

Was thinking of riding at Awaba on Saturday. Is that likely to be OK or is there some race or track preparation happening for Sunday's activities?

thanks

My Raceface crank seems to be stuck on my bike. Does anyone have any tips how I may be able to undo the allan key bolt that holds it on? I did work out the part where you get the right size allan key for any would be smarty pants.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Just reading through the thread about the latest council meeting.

Is there any factual information on the actual numbers of locals (residents of the Northern beaches) that ride bikes in general? It would be very interesting reading, all the different demographics that ride different disciplines.

Does anyone know anything about if there is a problem at Yellomundie between riders and NPWS?

I have seen a few mentions here and there about negotiations between WSMTB and NPWS. On the Rocky Trail site I recently read something like "this could be the last big event at Yellomundie" referring to one of their events.

I cant work anything out from the WSMTB site, but does anyone know if Yellomundies future is in doubt?

Check this article out from Jindabyne, again our council is being left behind by the forward planning in other areas;

I particularly like the part where they say, " Executive manager of environmental services Charles Litchfield assured councillors well built tracks required little maintenance and cyclists normally did what was required.

Hi guys, I'm just writing some letters to council and thinking about whether to mention BMORC, and if so, how. Also, having just read that we now have some stickers, I'm wondering what it is that people will do when they get that sticker.
What they're gonna do (I hope), is visit the BMORC web site. And this is also what I'd like my councillor to do when I send him/her a letter.

anyone thinking of riding the Shack Attack 6 hr event at coondoo rd nowra on 18th july ? should be a fun event,it was last year
I have entered mens pairs with my nephew.
