calling Steve 1/2/3 (aka Turramurra Boy...)
Steve!!
Please, when the weather clears up could you PLEASE re-run this ride? http://nobmob.com/node/2761
It really was just so much fun...
Aside from which, it would be nice to see you out of that red white and blue gear...oooh and on a MTB!!!
Seriously though, it was a great ride...
MEEEEE 
Almost eight hours
What a day, I had a blast. I'm already looking forward to the next round
Everyone was so friendly, especially the race winner Mark Tupalski and one of the KOM shop riders I'm pretty sure it was Chris Smith. Each time they would overtake we would have a chat and they would always offer encouragement.
The track was in better condition than I was expecting, there has been a lot less rain at Appin then there has in the Northern Beaches over the last week.

Help please: which lefty fork?
Hi I'm looking to upgrade the lefty on my old faithful Jekyll 800 with a better (used) fork. I'm wondering which is the better overall package - the TPC or SPV?
Currently it has a plain vanilla 130mm Lefty with rebound adjustment only. It's rather bobby on the climbs. Not a major issue as I mostly climb seated, but I've just acquired a Manitou 3-way so i'm looking to match a fork to it.
Mellow greetings.
Hi guys. Long time lurker, first time poster. Well second time poster. I just posted something and thought it rude to post and not introduce myself.
Soooo... I'm 35, live in the Blue Mountains, ride to work in Penrith, enjoy my job, have a wife who is good value, have 2 little girls, ride off road whenever I can (which isn't enough- see previous point), and I am over searching for and cutting firewood. I know a couple of members on here but I shall not reveal who as they may not want to admit any association!
So there it is. Hi.

Hunting in National Parks
Get this... while we struggle with a little trail access, seems there is a real chance that a bill being introduced in NSW parliament next week may actually be passed and allow recreational hunting of native animals in National Parks! Are they for real!?
I wonder if hunters actually know that getting access to National Parks is pointless because they can't actually go anywhere within them! 
Oh, sorry to make a joke, but it's ironic don't you think?

Oppose the Game Council Amendment Bill 2009
URGENT!
In the next week (between Tue 23 and Thu 25 June 2009) the NSW Government is set to pass legislation that will:
- allow recreational hunting in national parks
- allow recreational hunting of native animals
- establish private game reserves
- undermine of feral animal control efforts across NSW.
Sadly even though this sounds unbelievable, it's actually true.
Update: The more you read about this the more disgusting it is, I'm amazed it's not been in the mainstream media. Couple stories here:

Disc brake rotors
Well after still having problems with excessive pad wear I'm now contemplating changing disc rotors.
See my previous post for details on the pad wear problems http://nobmob.com/node/8818
A 10km ride this week on a wet track has worn through 50% of my sintered metal pads. And I certainly wasn't dragging the brakes or using them a great deal. By the end of the ride the pads had worn so much that the brake lever was squeezing all the way to the bars before the pads were engaging.
