Wanted: WTB: Old Cranks
Hi Guys
I've recently put new forks and wheels on the Superlight and have now realised I have almost all of the parts to make a complete spare bike. It will be a great little single speed 26" carbon hardtail coming in right on 10kg, I might never ride it but it's better than having the bits sitting in boxes.
The only critical part I'm missing is a set of cranks and a BB. I know I can get new XTs for $160 these days but this is a budget bitsa so I'd rather not buy new ones.

What bike to look for
My wife and I have just started on the basic MTb track at Hornsby track
We have basic trek bikes with fork suspension only
We are looking for help on what bike to upgrade to that will be ok to use on the intermediate and advanced tracks
What budget should we be looking at for something decent
Cheers Jason

Lost rear blinking Light on Centre, Duck OR Perim
Hi,
Lost my favourite rear blinking safety light this morning - could be on Duck, Centre or Perim at Terry Hills - Great if someone sees it

Second set of wheels
Hi all,
bit of a newbie question here. I want to get a second set of wheels which I can put some slicks on for commuting, was thinking either shimano MT55 or Mavic Crossride (any recommendations?). Wondering what I actually need to get along with the wheels, from what I can figure I need the wheels, disc rotors and a 9 speed cassette (riding a Trek Fuel ex9.5), is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks all!
Ben

Camden River update for 12 Jan
As always, the track is in great condition.
There is a tree down about a third of the way along but it's easy to see it coming up and just a case of carrying your bike through the undergrowth to get round it.

Bike plates for your car
In case peps here don't realise
Every Xmas hols love the variations of number plates you see. Some cardboard, some have taken the time to go to Bunnings buy stick on letters and numbers and place em on a board - all illegal if you didn't know.
Saw a CX9 in StIves nice bikes looking like they just came back from a ride in Terry hills - no plate at all. Bad news big fine for all of the above if you don't know - sad and sorry tales here.

Cascades update for 11 Jan
Quick blast thru at 5:30am this morning whilst cool. Morning dew keeps the sand packed ok. Trail is good. Watch out for the 50+ horse poos (these make it almost amber)
