Some great news for the weekend...

Thanks again to everyone who kept off the track during and after this wet period.

The track is still wet in places, and the trail surface has changed in some spots because of the heavy rain. Please ride according to these conditions and walk your bike through muddy patches on the trail.

Manly Dam has volunteer trail maintenance days every 6-8 weeks. The next trail day is on Sunday 29 July. Please register with Terracare if you wish to be involved. www.terracare.com.au Finally please inform others of the manly dam mailing list [email protected]

Thanks,

Nicole

OK I finally have my replacement hose for the Juicy 7 that I nearly cut through at Canberra. Have a bleed kit and both manuals but do you think I can find instructions on how to change the hose anywhere? Nuh only how to shorten a hose that is already full of fluid. Mostly common sense but I have a couple of questions for anyone that may have had to replace their hose before.

Keep those legs in tune for Coffs??

Hopeful,
Matt.

I'm trying to make more space at home and this chain is the first to go.

It is still in its box and plastic wrap. It is from the XTR/Dura Ace gruppo and I believe it is from the mid 90s.

Willing to trade for some green labelled South Australian beer ...

An anonymous (well - I, and a few of you will know who I'm talking about) has posted a picture of a very nasty looking injury he received the other day.

This is sat waiting to be moderated, and to be frank, I think it's too horrific to go public.

What are the people's thoughts on this sort of thing? Do we need an over 18's (or 'tasteless') section? Or should these sick puppies ( meant in the nicest possible way ) stick to posting their pics on other places?

Can anybody give me a crash course in running tubeless tyres.
I've just bought a bike on Ebay and it has Mavic X819 wheels with Hutchinson Python NG tubeless.

What pressure do I run them at?
Do I need to use Stan's no tubes or the like?
What happens if they deflate - can I just pump them up again?
Is there any special maintenance required?

I'm about 85 kilo's, ride trails and wouldn't jump off anything over 1 metre.

Does anyone out there have any experiance with or knowledge of this wheelset. http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/SPWHWNNXY

MTBR has only good reviews but would like to here from someone locally tat has them.

Cheers

Stuart

Hi All,

Just joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. On holidays at the moment so aside from studying I should have plenty of time to go exploring as I´ve only recently been living in NSW.
I like DH and FR on my new Reign X1 (which incidently has just developed a weird gurgling sound from rear brake but still works fine...)

Loving the Reign, seems to cover up any mistakes i make...

FSR XC Pro ONLY 11 months old. This is Specialised top of the line Cross Country release for 06. As with myself, this is the perfect upgrade for riders looking at an upgrade from your first hardtail or for any rider looking for a top notch mid travel duelly. Great trail/ XC/ singletrack/ loves the fast n flowing and very capable over the rough stuff.
If you want to jump off of things get an Enduro.
