Torpedo 7 has some good weekly specials (until Monday) and a 48 hour special until Friday

Highlights from the weekly special are the Camelpak Mule ($90) and the Shimano CN-7701 XTR chain ($40).

Then there is a 48 hour special ending Friday with a bunch of good specials too (gloves, shoes, socks, lube, backpacks, tools) ...

Buy I've already spent too much lately ... I'm going to bar the T7 site my computer!

Cheers

Shimano & Crank Bros Cleats.

Does anybody know if Crank Bros pedals will work with Shimano SPD cleats? I've just purchased some mallets and am wondering if I will have to use their cleats provided or if the Shimano ones already on my shoes are compatible with them?

NB I haven't bothered to actually try yet

Cheers,

Andy.

Sram 991 Hollow pin Vs Shimato XTR/Durace CN770: which is more durable?

I have always used Sram 991 Hollow Pin chains, but recently found out a new chain less than 500km use is now needing replacement.

Each Sram 991 Hollow Pin is about $60+, T7 has Shimano XTR chain for $40 - i am willing to give it ago

Anyone can give some advice about durability on the XTR chain?

Thanks.

Tien.

Lake Parramatta

I ride this area regulary. Not sure on its legality but I do know that in the last three years of riding through lake parramatta i have ridden past the odd ranger who hasn't said a thing other than hello.
Its a fairly popular venue and the council one would assume is well aware that the reserve is used for mountain biking and has been for a long time.
I also know that other trails that i ride in the area that come under Parramatta council are Ok to ride.
