Is anyone upgrading to the Edge 705 and has a spare Edge 305 kicking around?

Cheers,

So, as some of you might know, a few of us have been helping out a bit with track building at the Sydney 24 hour course at Del Rio. I have permission from the organiser to share this with you all, the track will be something like this:

THE FRAME HAS BEEN SOLD!!!

Hi guys, and girls.
Well Vanina has decided its time to get a new frame and that means that her frame(pearl) is up for sale.
The frame is a 06 Trance frame (105mm travel). It has been well ridden and has a few battle scars to go with. The rear shock is a RP3. It was serviced only a few months ago so is in good nick. THe rear end has no play in it.

This frame would make the perfect platform to step into full suspension without having to spend too much. The frame will come an XT front Derailaur and the headset (might need a new one though).

hey guys,

after seeing a few of cleet caused crashes( going-round-corners-to-fast-and-not-being-being-able-to-put-your-foot-down-quick-enough-so-you-smash-in-to-a-tree type crashes)i am not so keen on them. so, i just wanted to know, are there any kind of shoes/pedals that i can buy that will give me better grip on the manly dam type rides.

thanks everyone

As you may know, Chain Reaction has free shipping on orders over about A$600. Shipping on a rim is otherwise prohibitive ($50), so I'd like to add to someone's order in the near future.

Good sale on at the moment too!!!

Riding up Heath yesterday, Blondie was telling me how much she loves those hills.

I was saying how the only real hill in these parts is the climb up Elvina so what's say we do a Duck Hole/Centre loop on Saturday morning but go up the road to Elvina on the way? We could even throw in Waratah if Blondie is feeling good.

I don't want to go too early or make too large an epic out of this as I have to go to a wedding later that day.

Anyone keen (aside from the obvious?)

What sort of angle lenses should i use with my homemade LED lights. There are 7, 10, 25 and 45 degree available.

i want a spot (7 or 10 deg)
and a flood?

thanks

due to people scaring me on the pinch climbs on this course i've decided to give it a miss as my first 24 solo attempt.
my last minute decision on this leaves me without a team for this event.
if anyone from a fairly competitive team drops out could you please consider me as a last minute fill in.
those who know me know i've been training hard lately.
those who dont know me, well, ive been training hard lately!
whoever you are, i wont let you down.
p.m. me if anything comes up.
thanks,
gazza

think i'm going down to compete in this with some friends. is anyone else going to compete. its short course and would be great training for these team events that are coming up. http://www.mtbnationals.com.au/

Late notice on a ride i'd like to do tonight. I'm thinking an 8pm start. Meet at the top of Chiltern Track
on Chiltern Road. There is alot of uphill in this one and some good downhill sections too. I figure that we
start at Chiltern downhill to the botom of Duckholes. Up Duckholes then Terry Hills track, across to and
then down Centre Track then back up Chiltern to finish. This could take take about 1.5 hours. If anyone was
keen (or crazy enough), I'd throw in Waratah Track after Centre Track as well just to make a good night of it.

Any takers ?

Cheers

George.

Has anybody heard anything about the WWS 8hr events. The website isn't up. I was looking forward to doing these events again this year, but I haven't heard a thing.
Has Bright Orange Events folded or are they just a little slow to get organised?
Any information would appreciated.
Thanks.
Andrew

As I'm yet to receive a reply to my letter to the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment I just shot this off to my local minister, Jillian Skinner. Let's see what response this gets...

Dear Mrs Skinner,

I am writing to you as my minister for state parliament and have an issue I would appreciate your help with.
