Anybody had any problems getting refunds from Cape to Cape people? I had to withdraw my application to ride due to injury and was advised I would get a refund up to 60 days from completion of ride, which has well and truly passed.I email them, no reply...I call and get advised it will be in the bank..but no cigar. Riding this year, not likely....

looking for interested riders to join for a four day supported ride from Mt Kosiuszko to Canberra around late Feb/Mar?
dates are flexible and you would need to be able to cover around 65km/day with just basic gear. Camps will be setup by a support team cost would be in the range of $600-$700/pax depending on the final number.
also keen to hear from any one who may have info on routes, conditions, etc

Hi guys, I am after a bit of advice.
I need to replace the seals and dust wipers on my 2008 fox talas 32 forks, I called my LBS which have a seal kit to fit, however it is only compatible with the new fox 20wt gold oil. Fox says this oil should never be used with open bath damped forks (which mine are), however the mechanic says his forks are open bath and he runs this oil.

Can anyone weigh in on their opinion/experience, do i order in the older seal kits and use 10wt oil or put in the new seal kit and 20wt oil and ignore fox.

Cheers for the help

With all this rain about I figured now's a good time to review my riding position and bike setup (rather than tear around the dam and BB after work).

Looks like much has been published on the net but hoping some of you can point me in the direction of some of the better info out there.

Extending my little video series out to include my family and friends enjoying the outdoors. Won't be all bikes this year but enjoy

Have recently put a pair of Conti Race Kings (protection model) on the Niner, on 3 year old set of Stans rims. Beaded up OK, but they struggle to hold air for varying periods. Can be fine for a couple of days and then go down overnight. Rear went from 28 psi to 20 psi on a 2 hr ride last outing. Had no problems previously with a mix of CrossMaxs (LUST) and a tubeless ready Kratos. Sealant was the end of a 18 month old bottle. Rims cleaned prior to fitting and tape seemed in OK nick.

Any suggestions?

THE TRISTANIAN ELITE MTB CAMPAIGN

Welcome to 2015 (Yes, yes, I know that we're 3 weeks into it but anyway...). I hope that you had a great break (although I know that some didn't) and are settling into the new year well!

Hi guys,
I've just received a phone call from a mate and I wanted to pass it on to give you all a heads up......yesterday morning (Fri 23 Jan) my mates car & several others were broken into at Ourimbah Mtb .....bricks were thrown through the windows to gain entry once inside they ransacked & smashed up the interiors even damaged the 2 horse floats parked there....I have parked at the track for years throughout the week without a problem, I'll be having second thoughts from now on.

Cheers
Fred

Hi all, wanting to go for a ride this weekend at Manly, have done manly dam twice but just the loop. Would like to check out the extended loop (possums etc?) but no idea where this is (other than across wakehurst parkway), and would like to take in gahnia and serrata as well. What would be the most logical way to do this, anyone done a similar ride and have it mapped on strava? Or if anyone wants to do a ride on Sunday or Monday this weekend then happy to be shown around!

cheers
Ben

Hi can anyone tell me where the entry point to the single track section in Hazelbrook is? Is it fairly easy to find one's way around without getting too lost? Is the trail in good condition?

I've seen the section down to the dam, which I think is another ride.

I've got a group of varied ability teenagers going with me and wanted to pick a trail up there that would be a good all round trail and some fun.

Apparently there is also a bike hire place nearby, anyone know the name of it?

Cheers

Long shot but does anyone have end caps to convert a rear Hope hub from 142mm to 135mm
