Anyone know what the 'works' involve?

Hello everybody going to nelsons bay for a few days and was wondering if there were any decent rides over there. Thanks

i've been getting by on some raceface evolve cranks on a Hope BB, but the middle chainring is rather shagged, and is misbehaving and skipping on certain chain lines and the inner ring is not far behind. Instead of buying new rings i am thinking i'll upgrade the crankset, but would keep the Hope bb.

To date, i've been running non-shimano for the sake of running non-shimano but it seems with cranksets they simply have the best product (XT or SLX) - steel/carbon middle rings and the pinch bolt setup to avoid excess loading of the bearings.

Does anyone the distance starting at the ferry, up Devine's Hill, GNR to Clare's bridge and return via Western Commission track to the ferry?

Anyone game for another Wednesday morning outing this week? That's on the 2nd I'm talking about.

Thinking an 8:30 start. Possibly a variation on Sunday's ride but starting from Wyatt Ave.

I can't find the results to confirm, but rumour has it V is the new Australian SS Champ!

Congratulations V!

Hi guys,

Hey does anyone know of an insurance company that does mountain bikes.
I've just got a new second hand bike and I thought it might be a good idea to insure it?
Is it preferable to place it under household contents- specified or get 'niched' insurance?
Does anyone have any ideas or tips or experience?
Thanks
twotoms

Hope it's not a DP

As some of you will know, there are a number of riders in our midst that enjoy riding on the road. A while back we created the tongue-in-cheek named 'scummers' group to cater for these people but this was little known and hard to find if you didn't know about it.

Enter road.nobmob.com. This is a public site for all the road related content and as such should be easier to find. On the plus side for some poor misguided souls who only like to ride on the road, use of this site only shows road related stuff in much the same way use of nobmob.com only shows MTB related stuff.

That is... unless one edits their profile and selects to see content from one place when actually using another. Eg. if you select to always see content from road.nobmob.com you don't actually ever have to login there to see what's going on - that content will show up for you on nobmob.com. This is akin the the way the 'scummers' group worked and I've set that option for everyone in that group so you really shouldn't see any difference at all.

So... long story short... loads of work for apparently no change. I'm sure there was a good reason for doing this though... watch this space

I am heading down to tassie for the Christmas break for a few weeks and was planning on taking the bike as i know that they have heaps of national park down there. Does anybody know of any good areas to go riding? i am looking at doing mostly single trail xc stuff i will save the downhill until i get home and wont be so annoyed at silly injuries.

Wanted to Buy: Dual Suspension bike in small to medium size, good condition

Looking for a quality second hand bike for my growing eldest son (12 y.o.) , height 160 cm (now) 170 cm (soon)

He's worn out his old Spesh FSR and I'm looking for something that he can use for the next 2 years (he's keen to compete in XC juniors races)

- Suitable for XC rather than AM (i.e. 3 - 5 inch travel)
- considering Epic, Trance, ASR, Stumpy or similar
- must be small or medium frame
- will consider frames / partial builts / components.
