Demo days
Does anyone know of any bike shops doing demo days in the next few weeks?
I know there is a Trek demo day at Ourimbah next Sunday morning but wondered if there was any more coming up?
Unfortunately my LBS doesn't do demo bikes as they're not a big enough shop.

Workshop Training - Feedback
Thought I would share a great experience which may be of interest to others!
Last night I did a 3 hour 'workshop' with Jordan at Ride in Workshop ( www.rideinworkshop.com.au )
Being quite mechanically minded, but relatively new to MTB'ing at a serious level, it was awesome to work through the whole bike with Jordan, looking at all aspects of set-up, maintainence, repair, and recommendations on parts etc.
I've got no connection other than being very impressed with the service etc.
I suppose it's given me two things:
Cannondale Lovers
For all you cannondale lovers out there, i just came across this.
If you are keen i would move quick at that pricing and spec level.

might struggle with big wheels and also fat tyres
Knees protection
Thinking maybe it's time to protect those (becoming old) knees.
From what I see around, seems that Six Six One brand is quite popular.
What's the difference between these?

Does anyone actually stock gear anymore?
Hey guys, I'm getting increasingly frustrated trying to find bike shops that actually stock a decent range of gear and spares (bloody internet).
At the moment I'm looking to buy some MTB shorts but I don't want to fork out $100+ without at least trying them on first, and to be fair dinkum I would like to be able to compare styles first as well.
Can anyone recommend a bike shop in Sydney that actually stocks a range of styles, brands and sizes of MTB Shorts?
Cheers
Aaron

Dee Why Bike Hub honorable mention
I just thought i would highlight the cheap and efficant bike service that I recieved from the owner(Not sure of his name) of teh Dee Why Bike Hub. I went down to the store this morning at 8am unannouced with a new cassette the I purchased online (only because he told me he didnt have one in stock). He then proceeded to change teh cassette while I waited and then on top of all this he only charged me $5.00.
I was most impressed with the service and price.

Garmin Edge 800 on eBay
Looking on buying a Garmin Edge 800 since a while, I came today across on eBay a very cheap one: $235 with the topo map! Yeah I know, crazy… dodgy… but never know, so I bought it and we'll see how it goes. What do you think??
