Non-UST tyres on UST rims?
Hi there,
I'm interested in buying some Fulcrum Red Metal 1's and have noticed on the instructions that you must only use UST tyres on these tubeless wheels.
Without getting into whether I should be tubeless or not 
, why couldn't I use inner tubes and normal tyres on these rims (assuming I remove the tubeless rim valve, etc)?
Also, if anyone has had any experience of these wheels, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

Real Insurance XCM Series - NSW
So this is interesting, basically they are going to have a NSW XCM Series which utilises the best events in NSW including Dirtworks, Capital Punishment and Angry Doctor.
The series will allow you to compare where you sit within NSW in the XCM discipline. Pretty interesting stuff I think.
I am already entered into CP and DW and was looking at the Angry Doctor anyway, so may as well cover the other race and see where I end up at the end of the year in the Series.

Stinky
OK folks - does anybody have a definitive way to wash cycling clothes and packs so they don't continually smell like ... well whatever that disgusting smell is.
Her indoors suggested something must have died in the wardrobe where all my clothes and packs and stuff are stored. It does indeed niff noxiously when the doors are opened, and despite investigation to try and find a dead rodent to blame it on it does seem to be the collected fragrance from a large number of tops, nicks, gloves and socks, all of them deposited in the wardrobe following a wash.
M975 (XTR) or M775 (XT) brakes - thoughts?
I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket at the moment (not really) and I've come across a fairy good price on both M975 and M775 brakes.
These are going on a XC (single speed) project bike. Not massively fussed about weight. Looking for the 'better' brake (durability/adjustability etc).
From what I can tell the M975 has been superseded M985/M988.
Is the newer XT with 'servo wave' (whatever that is) better than the 'old' XTR? They look surprisingly similar to me.

Manly Dam Closed 7-11 February 2011
Just in from the Rangers...
Good Afternoon Bike Riders,
We have engaged contractors to undertake vegetation trimming along the single use sections of track, and this work is scheduled to take place during the week of 7-11 February 2011. Due to the use of power tools and the narrowness of the track, the track will need to be CLOSED while work is in progress for the safety of both riders and contractors.
Works are scheduled to take place between 7:30am and 4:00pm on the following days/locations and riders will need to plan alternative routes as access will be blocked. The contractors have been asked to clear all debris from the track at the end of each work day so early morning and late afternoon riders should not be inconvenienced, however all care should be taken.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th on the track in the southern section of the park between Seaforth Oval and Wakehurst Parkway Fire Trail
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th on the track in the northern section of the park between the turn off from the fire trail below the Roosevelt Avenue tennis courts at Allambie Heights and King Street, Manly Vale.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Kind regards,
Manly Dam Rangers
The Dam: Planned Track Maintenance
I know it is positive to see resources allocated to the upkeep of the Dam but I really hope this doesn't open these sections right up. As I see it, the problem with clearing too much vegetation from the sides of the track is that it then makes it very easy for people to steer around difficult sections, which leads to track widening and more dumbing down of the Dam.
Good Afternoon Bike Riders,
Bents Basin
Hi guys,
Anyone has ever been in or around the Bents Basin state conservation area?

What is nice, is that you can have a swim there, there is a deep waterhole, part of the Gulguer Gorge on the Nepean River between Camden and Penrith.
