Thumbs up for RLC Sport
I'd like to convey the great experience I had getting Aiden Leffmann at RLC Sport to service the 2006 Lefty Speed 110mm fork from my Cannondale hardtail.
After inspection he shot me an email and said for just $50 above the $200 the service and solo air upgrade was going to cost, he could replace the entire internals with 2012 model year Pop-loc Solo Air PBR internals, I'd get better damping, the full travel (it had been limited to about 80mm even after a bearing reset), and I'd never blow another lockout again.

Great Deals on Shmano 10 Speed XT and XTR Groupsets
All
I have just come across some great deals (well I think so anyway) on 10 speed shimano xt or XTR Groupsets including brakes.
the website is a French based website. I guess with the turmoil in Europe at the moment they have no choice but to discount.
xt is going for around A$670 and XTR for around $1450.

Travel insurance for cyclists
I just noticed this and wanted to share...
While looking for some long term travel insurance (Note the "long term" part... ye-haaaaar!) noticed at least one company who had bike riding in their list of excluded activities. Ie. injuries suffered while riding would not be covered. WTF!!?
Why I bring this up is that if you're taking a trip O/S over the xmas/new year break be sure to read your travel insurance policy wording carefully!
FWIW, it's quite amazing some of the other exclusions they toss in there. No cover for any item left in a vehicle 'after dark' seems a common one.
Classified Madness
Just a quick note to apologise for slamming the classified ads. I've been meaning to do this job for a while, and the rainy day forced me into action.
Jenny and I have collected, won, recieved, and even bought (shock!) stuff that we either dont need, cant ride, or have new versions of.
Each season comes round and we get some fresh stuff.
We are selling off everything we dont need.
Xmas is coming and you either need to buy things for others, or you need to buy things for yourself but have reduced funds....
Seem's legit
Was just surfing the net and found this. Not sure what to think
retail for $5000 on mongoose website and looks like the exact same specs

How the bike industry works
Reposting from my nobmob blog as I think this deserves to get a wider airing.
This is an interesting Wordpress article series I came across yesterday surfing from site bicycles.net.au. From what I read here it looks to me like the current phase of structural adjustment in the bicycle market with the rise and rise of on-line selling seems to me to be in large part due to the bicycle manufacturing industry's own poor inventory management practices. It also confirms what many of us suspected about the supply chain.
Read on to see what I mean:
Not happy Wiggle!!!!!
18 days after a $250+ order and my order is no where to be seen.
This my second order through Wiggle... the first took over 10 days to be delivered... thought I'd give them another shot.
Is this normal or have I just had two bad experiences?
