just wondering as will be down that way tomorrow and wondering if ridable with all this wet or give it a miss. cheers

It's on again!
Remember when life was simple? Remember when you rode your bike to have a good time?
When you rode because it felt good and the company you rode with and the tracks you rode were more important than having 1000 categories to choose from and a big list of swag to choose from.

Well CTMBC are taking it back.

We're stripping away all the hype and complications and just having a fun series of 3hr races celebrating the seasons.

Looking for advice on what the minimum width tyre I can use on a bog standard 26inch wheel so I can reduce the noise from Gel roller trainer. I've hijacked the Wife's Giant Boulder to hook up on the trainer but the noise from the tyre is too great. Tyre is currently 26x1.95.

Also, will tyre pressure effect noise? Currently at 50psi

Hi all,

As a bit of a side project in the future I'd love to build myself a custom XC racing hardtail with an emphasis on being ultra light weight

for those who have undertaken a project or who have an idea about products out there, i'd love to hear what you would use in your opinion for the components, gearing,brakes,tyres,rims,frame ETC

Price range doesnt matter as atm its all a dream i would just like to hear what you would all suggest given the wide range of products out there

Cheers,

Hi,

My Bike was stolen from the TV broadcast compound at the Hurley Australian Open of Surfing at Manly Beach on the 15/02/2014. It was taken between 4-4:30pm While there was security and police around and thousands of people around, We also had a ladder stolen so the security was f*cking useless.

There is probably less than 5 CRC blue Intense's in this country, i only personally know of 1 more blue Tracer, so if you see one riding around or for sale it is probably mine. It has been reported to the Police and they have photos and its serial number.

Hello all
I received this email this evening from a riding buddy in Addlaide. Essentially it's a call to arms to help all riders of all disciplines.

Hello,

I'm sending you this email because you ride a bike or you're a MAMIL or somehow part of the cycling community... and my friend Adam needs some support for his project which is aimed to help cyclists.

My shortlist of 29:ers is getting shorter.

Is there anyone out there who has ridden both an Epic Matahon or better and a Superly FS 9.8 or better and can offer some comparisons. I've only ridden the Epic myself and it was superb but Superfly keeps getting great reviews so I'm keen to hear from anyone who have ridden them both and can offer their thoughts.

If the comparison is for a small frame - that will be fantastic but I'm happy to hear from any reviewer regardless of frame size.

Many Thanks in Advance

Interesting

We have received an important request from the Mayor of Warringah regarding concerns some residents in the area have about riders behaviour on the track around Narrabeen Lagoon.

Please take a moment to review this and take on board his message (and one that we have been supporting for many years) that the trails are there to share.

Obviously this is a particularly family friendly trail and not only should riders take care when approaching and passing walkers and joggers, they should also be aware a large number of young children learn to ride (and to love riding) right here.

Full details can be found here: Cyclists on the Narrabeen Lagoon Trail. Please follow up on that thread.

Hello Esteem riders,

I just bought my self a Shimano SLX M665 double Chain set for my 2012 Trance x3

Will this fit?

I have sram x5 Front shifter

FD Shimano Deore 10 sp. 34.9

Sram X9 Front shifter

RD Sram X9 type 2

I was hoping to chuck it on without much more additional cost.

What you reckon
Cheers
