I have just ordered the 10mm bolt through conversion for my Hope Pro II hub from CRC.
Unfortunately, CRC did not have any 10mm bolts in stock and i am too imptaient to wait.
Any suggestions on 10mm bolts, what types, where to get them.

i'd love the DT Swiss ratchety one, but the finance director will have my head if i spend too much.

PS: 2007 Kona Coilair, 135m hub spacing. Hope ProII hubs

Update: The burns in the Cascades area have been delayed one week until Sep 12/13.

Just had this from the Rangers:

Just to let you know there are major HR burns planed for Northern Beaches Area in the next few days.

1. Barrie Street area of East Killara tomorrow Thursday 3rd – Barrie St & Two Creeks Tracks closed

2. Cascades, Heath, Bare Creek, Lower Cambourne, Quarry, Frenchs Creek & all other walking tracks in the area will be closed on Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th with a big HR burns in the area.

All walking tracks in both the areas will also be closed for several days after the burns to ensure they are safe from falling timber.

Hello everyone. Canberra is lovely by the way and the MTB World Champs opening ceremony, which I popped out to during my lunch break, was actually a pretty sorry affair. BUT I'm looking forward to seeing some outstanding dirty action at the weekend. However.....

I'm off to St Albans with a few friends at the weekend and looking for recommendations as to which local trails to ride. Currently thinking about doing Great Northern Road combined with Western Commission Track. This is my preference having done the Dirt Works but it may be a bit too much for the others although they are all fit just not used to mountain biking. Does anyone know of any other trails that will take approx 2 to 3 hours and still offer a bit of a challenge? Is it possible to ride the last section of the Dirt Works trail which starts with the 2nd of the big climbs?

Does anyone have space for me getting to and from the angry dr? I really should get off my L's!

Erm... isn't this the other way round to the previous year? The second half looks easier. Even though they say the profile hasn't been updated for 11 months. Confused?

Ah... I see they updated it 31/8/09 and now looks more like the description.

Second 50 (note the scale!):

Anyone know somewhere to get a tow bar installed? i tried bars and racks in Brookvale but there to expensive.

Has anyone tried the ozriders foam grips? Link: http://www.ozriders.com.au

My son showed me some video captured on his mobile phone of riding buddy and young forumite 'mountainbiker' successfully riding the 19th Hole A Line on the Manly Dam trail last weekend.

Once I recovered from the shock, I was impressed! Unfortunately my son pressed the wrong button so the middle bit of the sequence is missing, but you can see clearly him making the first part of the descent to the middle rock platform, and then surviving the last roll-off to the clay pan at the bottom.

Wonder if he will still be riding at the World Championships at Stromlo...
