With the A$ so good at the moment looking at placing an order on Wiggle - my order should qualify for free shipping but I'm happy to add bits for those that want as long as total order stays under $1000. 6pm tomorrow is cut off, PM if interested.

Sadly I can no longer make the fling. So my ticket it up for grabs..

Thought this would be the easiest way to move it on

You might grab a bargin!

Hey everyone to put all my questions to rest i bought myself a new bike. I ended up getting a Specialized Rockhopper Disc and i plan on sharing it with everyone riding tomorrow at terry hills. Thanks for all the help if received on the forum and it really came in handy. btw what does the 09 rockhopper disc retail for because i like to think i got a good deal.

News just in...

A major NPWS HR burn planned for tonight in & next to KCNP in the Duffys Forest area of the Northern Beaches Area

Therefore the following tracks will be closed to all access from this afternoon, 23 October until further notice:

Duffys Trail, Slades Trail, Cullamine Trail, Booralie Trail & Bibbenluke Trail.

Please do the right thing for you own & safety & safety of others

Ignoring the track closed signs that will be in place risks up to a $500 fine & potentially lives due to the high danger from the fire & falling trees.

Has anyone has tried 'Sharkies Organic Energy Sports Chews' (www.sharkies-chews.com)?

I got sent a bit of blurb about it a while back (from my road club) and thought it was just another 'new' product trying to replace good old jelly babies or snakes, but they have now popped up in other sports/endurance newsletters I subscribe to.

Might be keen to order a box or two, just wondering how easy they are to consume while riding i.e. easy to chew and don't get stuck in your teeth and if they live up to all the hype...

What do you think about bottle vs camelbacks/packs?

I'm thinking about dumping my camelback in favour of water bottle and cage. But answer me these question three: do they drop out too easily and leave you with no water for 30 km's? Or are they a great way to shed some grams?

It seems the pros go for bottles.

Hi guys,
I am after one or more tickets for the full fling.
Would love a call on - 0416 291 541

With the Fling just around the corner and rain predicted for this weekend means my regular training rides oaks/andos, hill fest etc will most likely be washed out.

So I was wondering: what does everyone else do to train when when the trails are too wet to ride?

Hello everyone, i want to buy a new bike but am no sure what to buy. The Matts TFS XC 100-D has been suggested but am not sure if its spec'ed appropriately. I'am looking for a trail bike (mainly firetrails, technical and some xc) and i want to pay around the $1000.00 mark i'am probably around the low intermediate mark just for reference. The main thing iam looking for is a good hardtail trail bike that wont fall apart after 6 months of intermediate trail riding.

Thank you very much everyone.

I recently purchased a set of Elixirs with 160mm rotors which I love but my new bike has Shimano XT M775 with 180mm rotors. I was thinking of taking the new calipers off and throwing my Elixirs on with the bigger rotors and just wondering if I should be looking at new discs as well? I presumed all discs were pretty much the same but I'm not sure if thats the case.

The other question that comes to mind after all of this is: Am I crazy to take off the XT calipers in the first place? are reading a few reviews on them they sound pretty dam good too!
