A lot of us here spend time at Terry hills and either riding it or driving it to get to a ride....Mccarrs Creek Road. Since the resurface it's attracting unwanted attention.

Beware out there for M/bikes, Hoons and now expect Highway Patrol

Hi all,

I just landed a job today in Hornsby just near the railway station so I'll be moving back to the Northern Beaches which I'm stoked about.

Where would you live if you were in my shoes if access to good trails was your only consideration?

I've ridden Manly Dam a fair bit in the past and Oxford Falls/Red Hills.

I like cross country mostly with some descents chucked in occasionally.

Ideally I'd like somewhere I can be within a few minutes ride of to get to the trail head but only about 30 mins max commute from Hornsby.

Thanks,
Will

Planning next years euro trip and it seems like I'll be able to get some time in the Dolomites late july and it is time to lock in some places.

I think I'll be able to get one day dedicated to MTB and after a little bit of googling it seems like the thing to do is Sella Ronda.

A couple of questions to anyone who has done it.
1) Is Sella Ronda the thing to do or are there more scenic / better tracks in the Dolomites
2) As I understand it, it is a guided tour going up in gondolas and down on two wheels - right?

Hi Guys

I have a set of bead hookless carbon TLR rims I'm looking to build up into some race wheels. I'm just wondering what width tape is recommended for an internal width of 22mm? By the time the channel is taken into account, the perfect fit tape width between goes up to 23mm, but the tape is only available in 21mm and 25mm widths.

Thanks for your advice

Building a new set of wheels, and I need to double check spoke lengths...

Using DT hubs, so the DT calc comes in handy.

Details
Rim: ERD 522
Front: DT 350 straight pull, centre lock, 15mm
Rear: As above, 142x12
Hidden/Internal nipples.
From there, all the numbers should be correct.

What I get:

Front:
rounded
(incl. Corrections)

272 mm

274 mm

Rear:

At the Mont on the weekend, me and some team mates were shooting the breeze about the crosses that develop in/on the dust on the sidewalls of tyres.

Someone said- and it sounds like a wives tale- that it means the tyre pressure was perfect for the track. Someone else just said it happens all the time and is meaningless.

Does anyone know- or have any clues as to the cause and if it actually means anything?

We've received more advice from Warringah Council regarding further fire trail work by RFS/SCS on the Allambie side of the Dam. The section of trail between Monserra Rd and Nyrang Rd is actually a fire trail and forms part of the protection zone for homes in Southern Cross Way. It's not the same classification as the Curl Curl Ck fire trail so wont get quite the same treatment. Work will include brush trimming to allow vehicle access and may also include some earthworks. Weather permitting the work should be oompleted by mid November.

Warringah Council have advised that Trailscapes will commence work this Thursday (30th October) to replace the dutch ladder on the climbing section of trail just before the trig track (final section of the golf single). The work will involve laying sandstone armouring/corrals, and improvements to drainage. Please take care when approaching this section as diversions may be in place, please follow all directions from workers during this period. the work is estimated to take 2 - 3 weeks to complete.
