Race Scoreboard

Guys, I'm sitting here jealous as hell for missing Mogo and I can't get a good picture of what happened and who came where - How did Carlgroover go and Supergav and Leo. All the blogs too, they are everywhere.

So I was thinking if we had a Race Scoreboard page (just like Hot Laps) where people could record there times and link a blog then you only have to go to one place for a complete wrap up. It would also become a historical record of NobMob racing results.

What do you guys think and don't worry about giving Rob extra work he can handle it.

Route to the City

Hi - does anybody ride to the city from the Northern Beaches.

I am fed up with public transport and want to try riding for a while. Does anybody know the best route to the Bridge.

I am not going to ride on military road as its way too dangerous, so I will be taking the back roads. I only need directions from the top of Parrawee road?

Suggested downhill explore ride?

With the racing for my year now finished until the Mont early next year, I am free to get back to some more fun riding.

As promised to some off site, I am keen to drive down to the Wollongong area and check out the technical and downhill trails there. I have a rough idea of places I want to go to, so thank goodness for Google Maps and YouTube. Laughing out loud But of course, I am keen for the help of a tour barbie that may know the best places.

Does anyone want to come along? What is your day preference?

Saturday 13th
Saturday 20th

Am keen to hear from you! Smiling

Get Lost, got lost

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'm planning a weekend trip to Ouriumbha with me bird and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on not getting lost.

Since i've been here i've been to cascade, manly dam, oxford falls, narrabean lake (although ended up in oxford falls) and the place down south campbell town with the xc course, and every time i've been completely lost.

Now it doesn't help that i get lost walking to the shops or driving to work, but i was wondering if anyone can recommend any maps (and where to buy them), techniques, sat nav (i have a garmin for my car) or otherwise (bread crumbs etc) to assist.

How is the Oaks Trail looking recently?

Hello fellow MTB’ers

Has anyone ridden the Oaks Trail in the Blue Mts recently? I know they were doing some pretty major Maintenance work on it a month or 2 ago.

What kind of condition is it in? is it now like a smooth highway? I hope they haven’t touched the Singletrack!!

Shifter cables - recommendations

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

My rear shifting has turned to crap in the last ride, and it seems the shifter cable housing is probably the culprit. So, I'm interested to find better cables and outers.

Decent towbar bike rack?

I'm on the hunt for a decent towbar bike rack, and to make it interesting I need to be able to get it for tomorrow morning for the drive down to Mogo. I'm thinking either my LBS or one of the car shops. Has anyone bought one from one of those places that can recommend it?

Cheers

just got back from the physio and seen my xrays. ive got a thoratic scoliosis and a misaligned pelvis!( forgive my spelling tien ) basically, i havn't looked after my back and need to stretch a lot more and do yoga. my muscles are so tense that they've pulled my back out one too many times. ive been ignoring my backpain for years and am now in the early stages of osteo arthritis.ive got three weeks of intensive chiro then a lot more conditioning to strengthen my core and loosen up my hamstrings,back and shoulders.

Mogo - mud tyres

A choice of Maxxis Crossmarks, Maxxis Ignitor and Kenda Small Block 8, all UST and 2.1, which would you recommend for a rear tyre? (front has Ignitor already)

I am thinking Ignitor may be the best of 3 as it has big blocks wide apart... since Mogo is going to be a mud pit.

Thanks.

Tien.

Enduro SL 25mm front hub alternatives

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi Guys,

New on the Nobmob Forum and hopefully somebody might be able to help.

I want to get a new/stronger wheel-set for my SL however, due to the 25 thru axle, I will need to:
- Buy a new 25mm front hub from Specialized and then relace the front wheel which might result on a very expensive exercise OR,
- I can convert a 20mm casing into 25mm by changing bearings and washers.

Convert the casing from 20mm to 25mm is possible and I have found and been provided with information and instructions from the following MTBR Forum:

3 bikes stolen

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Well, here's my first post. And it's not a happy one. I have had a look through this site and I was planning on trying to meet up with you for some riding. I'll have to put that on hold now because last night my downhill bike, my wife's downhill bike and her cross country bikes were stolen. They spray-painted over the cameras outside the building and forced their way into our undercover garage. My wife's bike is the biggest deal to us, as she accepted that from me instead of an engagement ring. Here's the details of the stolen rides:

Knicks?

Hey - so who wants to ride in full team NoBMoB attire on Sunday but hasn't got any knicks?

I seem to have a pair of 'L' knicks left over (mainly 'cos I can't count and order one too many - was wondering why for ages!).

Anyhow, $81.29 to the first bidder, you too could look like this:

Pikey Lycra 2

P.S. Oh - I also have a small 'T' too from that order if we're having a clean out... $22.55:

MTB friendly councillors

I know, never mention politics.....but, just wondering out loud...

With the local government elections coming up, does anyone know of any mountain bike friendly candidates in their council areas?

I'm in Warringah, but being in a Manly Daily free street get no local news. I'd be interested to direct my vote to a candidate that would represent the needs of the pedal powered community. It wouldn't hurt to have an interested contact on council to direct trail access issues to.

Nick.

We decided to mix both and packed the whole clan in the van.
