2008 GT Avalanche 1 Broken!
I finally upgraded my Apollo Ascension to a 2008 GT Avalanche 1 tonight. Got it home and did 2 laps in the backyard to feel it out. It had a click sound thru the gears and then "Bang", the rear derailer holder snapped in two (forged aluminium/steel? - Broken). It looks like the chain wasnt set up right and the holder is definitely not up to grade. Lucky I wasnt half way out at Manly Dam or Cascades. Anyway back to the shop tomorrow - bugger as I was going out tomorrow at 6:30am, which I still will on the Apollo. These things happen!!!

NORCO Shore 3 Mountain Bike - FOR SALE
Hey all,
I am regretfully selling my Norco Shore 3 as I don't ride it much anymore, this bike is great off road & performs really well on downhill tracks.
It is a 2006 model, I bought it brand new at the end of last year.
Here is a link to the ebay sales page:

Sydney Spring Fat Tyre Festival - 8 1/4 hrs of Power
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
If you'd been at the Sydney 24hr in the last couple of years you may have seen a rather disreputable looking party in one corner of the camp site known affectionately as the 12 Hours of Power. I'd post photos but they probably need to go in the Over 18 section.
These very same people have put together this:
"Normal" weekly night ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Well after an "interesting" night last night we all thought we'd front up again for this one and seek some revenge.
Standard loop plus Bantry Bay
Rob, this one has got your name all over it for testing those new lights mate. Craig c'mon mate its been a good couple of weeks since I have "accidently" looked you in the eye at night, surely your vision has returned by now?
Liam and Caro, I expect your lights will have arrived in time for this one and you guys plan such epic day rides I never get to tag along.
West Head Tomorrow Afternoon
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
301 & 303 McCars Crek Rd
I have the day off work tomorrow and was going to head out to west head for a ride. The aim is to start at Terry Hills and make my way out to some of the trails at west head. I would like to cover at least 30km at a reasonable pace to get some training in for the Scott in a couple of weekends time. Would anyone like to join me?

Back To Stromlo- *postponed due to weather :(
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Back to the awesome DH at Stromlo, maybe check out a bit of XC stuff and the new begginers Dh, and take revenge on the mountain that ate gazza's arms up! Just a day trip for us, a couple of mates want to see it, i suggest bringing some lunch, we might confirm numbers and possibly hire a van/ute to make for continual shuttling action 
All welcome, fun times!
*is now postponed due to weather and stuff perhaps for next sat...
Calling all tall riders
Im 6ft 2 " tall and fed up getting different information from shops in what size frame I should get.
I tried out a LARGE Cannnondale Rush and it felt quite short and was assured at the time that I needed a large and not extra large.
I would like to know if anyone who is the same height as me what bike they ride and what frame size. In particular Specialized, Cannondale, Yeti, Santa Cruz and Giant.
Any other advise, tips etc would be greatfully received.
Thanks
