CHAIN'S again...
Yes, Chain talk again.
Sorry, but:
I think I have proven it to myself!
No more foreign, well foreign to me, chains on my MTB Bikes, EVER...
Rohloff it will be from now on... http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/s_l_t_99/index...
This was the first time I was relying on new, other than Rohloff, chain and I was let down badly!
2 rides in Germany (fire trails 30km ea.)
2 x TH Perimeter and Long
1 x Massive Northern Beaches ride (about 40km)
and then 6km of Fling and ...... you all know what happened.
That's it, no more chain talk from me, only one will do it for me!!!

Anatomic saddles...
Brian, Buck
check out the Allay saddles...the intro sequence on their websites says it all....
I've been using their "Sport" model, which fits the more upright riding position on the Enduro. Available at local shops.

The Claw
Like all the best inventions this thing looks so simple... so why did no-one think of it sooner? Possibly 'cos a large hook will do the same job? 
Giant Bike Price Hike
Ouch... was thinking for a long time about getting the new 2009 Giant Reign 0, but not actively chasing it...
Went into Cranks North Sydney today and was gonna see if I could haggle down the $4295 RRP. Saw one on the floor.. asked how much it was.. and he goes.. $4900.
I'm like WTF?? I thought it was $4300. Then he goes, nup, Giant has just upped the price of ALL of their bikes. Next to no warning for the bike stores.. just told the new prices! OUCH. Me and my procrastination....
Giant Trance X0 now $6300 its crazy!!!
Oh well.. you snooze you lose!
