Similar Trails Like Manly Dam?
Hello,
I'm new to the area but have been riding Manly Dam weekly now for the last 2 months and starting to get bored with it. Wondering if there are any similar trails around the area (up to an hour away from Sydney) that compare to Manly Dam? I'm not a big fan of fire roads but love single tracks. Looking for any trails that are about the same or more technical than Manly Dam? I tried searching but didn't really come up with much. Any advice on some new trails I could check out would be appreciated. And if it's a confusing trail, meeting up and having someone show me the trail would rock.
SS Chains and Chain rings
Gday Crew
after a bit of advice about SS Chains and Chain rings
With the 'grinding paste' riding around the Northern Beaches
My stock chain rings and chain are worn and stretched
Am hoping to hop on a friends CRC or Jensons order
Was thinking a Wipperman 808 or KMC X8 chains??
and Surly Stainless Chain rings for durability??
Any ideas would be appreciated

Hello...A Introduction
Hi All
Thought I would post a intro really, I was directed here by a poster on Rotorburn/Farkin as racing isnt really my scence and more looking to get into the socil side of things with a decent group of people.
I arrived from Bristol in November 06 and used to ride all the time at home, but it has taken me some time to get myself sorted and settled out here.
I am going to be purchasing a full sus bike in 2-3 weeks as I am recovering from a back surgery and my hardtail is coming back from the UK in September when I go over there.
Ceramic Brake Pads
Hi,
Did the Ouribbah NOBMOB AMBC training this weekend and ate through my pads.
Looking at getting ceramic brake pads from Disco Brakes and they claim the ceramic last around 3x longer. Even if it is only 2x, the cost benefit stacks up.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone tried the ceramic pads?
2) Do ceramic pads work well in both wet and dry?
Any feedback appreciated.
Appin Social Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Corner Burke & Market St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
I'm ready for some more fun at Appin, the Appin track is 10km long and features a number of fun technical sections.
The pace will be relaxed, we can stop and play on sections if people want. I've posted a ride time of three hours, you don't have to do this I image we should be riding past the cars every 50 minutes or so.
Sunday social ride with single track (Menai/Appin/Yellowmundee?)
G'day,
Planning to do ride on Sunday, kick off time 9am for 3/4 hours. Anyone interested in joining in?
I'm open to suggestions as to where? Only limitation is I have to exclude Ourimbah as I have to be in Campbelltown in the afternoon.
Who is racing in Woodford to Glenbrook this weekend?
Hello,
who will race this weekend?
If you race, good luck and see you on the trail.
Cheers

Rucksack for 6 day ride
Hi guys
me and a mate are doing a 6 day mtb ride coast to coast across Scotland in 5 weeks - 60-70km with 1000-1200m ascent per day. (5 hours on sat on the west head trails in torrential rain was probably great training !!)
I need a good mtb rucksack which is 25L-30L large to carry spares/gear and spare clothing (hopefully carrying only 7-8kg plus water bladder each). (we are staying in guest houses and hostels en route). I have done some preliminary research and possibles are Deuter Transalpine Alpine 30L ; DhB Elsted 30L
Just wondering whether anybody had any good suggestions
Cheers
