I'm about to order a "Joe's No Flats" conversion kit from CRC. They don't stock Stans. Is there a major difference in performance? Both seem to be based on latex mixture - Joe's seems to contain more particulates to seal larger holes.

What is your experience?

These (very similar) videos seems pretty convincing...

Happiness is a warm shock...

For all you Glenrock riders out there, you may have noticed a bit of official trail building going on from the guys at World Trail. For those that haven't, the DJ quarries are undergoing a transformation, the old DJ's on the cliff edge are gone and a new set away from the cliff are under construction (mud jump rework is next) and the BJ's Surprise/highroller/suessland area is also being tweaked.

Hi All,

Can anybody recommend some good pedals that are clip-in on one side and flat platform the other? Just bought a new bike and don't want to scratch the frame like I did with my Trance when I fall off on the hard bits whilst clipped in!

I've just had a quick look at the Crank Brothers Candy and Smarty pedals on the web - are these flat on one side?

Cheers,

Andy.

I spent quiet some time at lunch talking to the ranger this came from.

Anyone need anything from AYUP?
Putting in an order today or tomorrow for some accessories and looking to economise on shipping

OK-so the link to Nobmob is a) I'm a MTB rider, b) my wife has just got a job in Canberra, the MTB capital of Australia, and strangely enough I want to be with her and c) you never know who is looking at the site and might be interested in my business.

Before I move I have to reluctantly sell my franchise so rather than put stuff up here that nobody might read or make sense of, if you have a few spare $xx,000, are maybe of thinking of a career change and are the least bit interested in finding out how good it is to own a (and in particular, my) Jim's Mowing franchise, give me a call.

Some pics of a very nice bike store:

for those that didnt get in some dude on Farkin has 2 entries available.

So whats the deal guys? Usually someone posts...

I'm just gonna put it out there..

Rim ride tomorrow night at 7:15. Who would be interested?

Well, I have never ridden any of the trails on or near the Dirtworks course.

I found a ride of Rob's from last year http://nobmob.com/node/4518 that looks like a very good training ride.

I would post a ride, but having never ridden there I can't really lead the ride if you know what I mean.

So, just seeing if anybody is intersted in heading out to Wiseman's in the next couple of weeks on a Saturday for a ride?

If we make it Saturday 21 March, I will post it up as 'Sean's big birthday ride'... No better way to bring in a birthday than with a bit of pain in the legs...

Hey guys, was there any mention today a Yarramundi about where the next round is going to be?
Cheers

I attended an excellent and well run MTB skills clinic at St Ives Showground yesterday run by Wannaride. Having only been riding for 8 months I thought it time to get some technical tutoring so I signed up for a beginners/intermediate course. I have to say, anyone starting out should seriously consider attending. A thoroughly enjoyable day. Heaps learnt. Instructors were great. Didn't talk down to you, very friendly and explained everything in plain English. They also run advanced clinics too. Just thought someone may be interested in developing their riding skills further.
