Don't forget the Dash on the Saturday night.. it's a riot
Good news week
The sun is shining at last, with this and other news giving us a real feel good factor this week.
Flynny reports that CTMBC have a $30K Grant awarded to help build new DH. While this will be a little far (Lithgow) for most here, the other big news out of the mountains is that the outcome of the Blue Mountains City Council (BMCC) meeting was a great result. Basically, it seems that BMCC have voted to develop some authorised riding trails up in the Blue Mountains. Well done to everyone on that campaign!
Given this week's dry weather we have a local off road ride in the calendar after what seems like too long! To ease back into things, come alone to Super Easy Terrey Hills this weekend 
Or will you be back on the training regime? With readers noting that Scott 24hrs entries are open. If a 24hr is too full on then consider that Highland Fling entries open - but be quick with both of these! Or what to race this weekend? Saturday sees Rd 1 - Rocky Trail MTB GP Series 2010 - 4H+8H at Awaba. Great course to begin what should be a great series.
Finally some popular chat from the forum (as shown in the new recent hot listing): nh asked (maybe optimistically), What is my bike worth?, we had a bit of fun guessing where this Reading material was located, were reminded that changing Shifter Cables should be done regularly while clipless pedals and brakes threads seem to cause as much debate as usual.
Front Derailleur Problem
I recently bought a new frame for my girlfriend which meant the front derailleur from her old bike didnt fit on the new frame. I got another FD from a friend that fitted the frame. It is a shimano deore (dual pull). I have connected the cable from the top of the FD and adjusted it, but it is INCREDABLY hard to shift from the smaller to a bigger chain ring. The shifters are SRAM X7 and when they were on her previous frame with a Sram X7 FD they worked fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve my problem?
