Wylde MTB Trail Community Open Day
Cecil Park, Western Sydney Parklands
NEW DATE: Sunday 12 October
12 to 3 pm

New event date will be Sunday 12 October (12pm to 3pm). Community day will feature stalls by MTB favourites Shimano MTB Equipment and Zero Five Sports Apparel, and Liverpool's ABC Bikes are bringing along the brand new Giant 2015 MTB Bike Demo Fleet for members of the public to try out on track.

I have an opportunity to visit newcastle for a couple a few days (it would be a monday, tuesday, Wednesday) and just wondering how good the trails are up there and if someone would be keen for a ride?

Cheers,

Jono.

We rode Perimeter trail last weekend (31/8) and heading west just past the NBCS entrance is a massive tree down across the trail.

It added a little cyclo-cross to our "paddle". Saying it was wet is an understatment.

Hi
I am a beginner MTBiker.

Folks,
I gave myself six months to buy a new bike, hardtail 29er, as light as possible for a 2 grands budget. Don't know yet the brand I want (specialized is my first choice so far) but have you noticed in the past years that there are time of the year where you can't get it wrong, it will be a good deal ? Of course end of financial year but that is too far.. Christmas maybe ? just after ?

Cheers

Hi everyone, just looking for anyones experience in ebay workshop stands. There are significantly cheaper and look of very similar design to more expensive ones. How wrong can i go?

Something like this for reference.

Thanks,

I've a tow-bar mounted bike rack - that when loaded obscures my number plate.

I rang Transport WA today to try to order an auxiliary plate that I could mount on the rack to be told, very abruptly, they don't do them? Seesh and here's me trying to stay legal *heaven forbid*

WTF?! Is that right? Anyone got any other experiences of that are WA-specific. If I was in NSW I could go to myplates.com.au and order a bike-rack plate by name - seems perverse that I can't here.

You would get free delivery, although some have pointed out PBKs delivery can be a little slow (2-3 weeks).

Enjoy!

A group of us have plans to go riding at Ourimbah on Sunday. But with all the heavy rain lately, I see I might have to reconsider, although still hoping we can go..

So my question to those of you that have more knowledge about the Ourimbah trails than I do, is there any chance it will dry up by Sunday?

Thanks!

after feelling i lost all manhood because i can't fit tires on my own bike any more i figured it was time to go to the shed and get it all sorted. im sure most of you here run into the same frustration fitting floppy tyres, they rarly seat the first time. sure you can buy a compressor, but i couldn't justify spending money on a proper compressor, i don't like the noise and you can't really travel with one either, i don't want a 4wd compressor either mucking around with the car battery and soon all sounds to complicated, its a bicycles tire not a space craft lol.

Has anyone ridden both the Pakahi Trail and Taupo? For someone who prefers gravity what would you choose?
