Classic XC race
Man I love these short course races, it feels like ages since I have done one.

Lost car key picked up by someone at Manly Dam.....
Lost car keys at Manly Dam
UPDATE 22/09 - Went back today, which is the earliest I could get there and they are now gone.......Found a branch in the midle of the trail before the rise, as described in some of the posts below, but now no longer there. If anyone has picked up for safekeping, please get in touch.
thanks
John
I was riding Manly Dam with a mate this morning around 7.30 and on returning to the car in the lower car park I discovered every mountain biker's worst nightmare - my car keys stashed so safely under my seat had vanished.

Maxxis tyre problems - bulges
This 'little' bulge appeared 4 days after the Angry Doctor, while the bike was simply on its rack.
Seems to be quite a few Maxxis tires (not sure if it's isolated to Crossmarks - which are my favourite tires) with these little bulges appearing (mid ride), therefore rendering the tyre useless...
Not sure exactly how many ppl had had the same problem, but would be keen to write to Maxxis and ask "What's up?"...

CenterLock Disc Rotors with Avid Brakes and installation...
After a bit more research.. a few more questions:
Has anybody experience with centerlock disc rotors with Avid brakes? Shimano obviously says use centerlock rotors only with Shimano brakes...
What rotor brand did you use?
I could find Avid rotors on CRC in 185 (Shimano apparently only has 180...).
The only 203 I could find was from Shimano.
Do I need a special tool to install the centerlock rotors? Got the impression but couldn't find any conclusive information.
What is it called? Any shop recommendation?
Thanks

Fulcrum Spokes
Hello,
I'm considering buying some Fulcrum Red Metal Zero wheels (CRC has some good deals...). I tried finding a website where I could buy spare spokes, but that seems to be rather difficult. CRC has a few sets but not for the Zeros.
Does anybody have any experience with Fulcrum spares and where I could get them either on the web or in Sydney?
Any hint appreciated. Thanks
Sascha
