Specialised FutureShock Fox Problems
2012 model, when I sit on my bike the rear shock compresses all the way, actually pushes o-ring off the shaft, I've checked air pressure. Can anyone shed some light on this please, or is it a case of leave it for the experts?
Withdrawn: Gary Fisher HiFi Pro 26er
FOR THOSE INTERESTED, HERE'S THE STORY BEHIND IT.
An acquaintance of mine used and loved this bike for several years. He was driving when a car rear-ended him with the bike on the back, jamming the frame into the bike rack. The insurance compensated him 1.5k for the this, which he used to buy an Anthem 29er, that he'd been planning to buy anyway. However, as he didn't need the GF, he gave it to me to use as a spare.
Withdrawn: 20yo Ricardo "Mountain" Bike
This bike is older than I am! It's far from light, quite rusty and creaks a bit when riding it, but I rode it 6km to and from Hornsby station many a time last year and never had an issue (it excelled in being a low theft temptation!) I got given a slightly newer model from it so naturally use it for that commuting purpose, but am thinking this bike could be used by the buyer for that purpose. Taken it off road a few times (I.e., the annual BMORC bash), and probably not the best weapon for the Convict 100 (
), but perfectly good for a parent riding with their child.
SRAM Singletrack Mind Series Round 3
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
The SRAM Singletrack Mind Series features five mountain bike endurance events, of 7 or 8 hours duration. They will take you to five different locations in NSW, each one renowned for its flowing singletrack and fun factor.
Awaba MTB Park in the Lower Hunter Valley is a perennial favourite and, as we found last year, pretty tough when the heat is on! It's been the scene for the Series final over the past 2 years but in 2013 we're putting it slap bang in the middle of the Series!
This is the new date for the race that was to be held on 23 June, and postponed due to bad weather.
Yellomundee Regional Park update for 22 Jun
First time there in a couple of years. Changes to the course meant I got lost a few times. Couldn't find the northern loop in the low lying bushes but bumped into the only other rider out there (odd there was only 1 car when the weather was as good as it gets!) who told me it washed away some time back. The tech section after crossing the creek at the southern and highest part of the track was a lot of fun.

Go-Pro chest mount for $20
Just received an email from Deal Extreme advertising their new arrivals and noticed this offer. I don't have a go-pro but I'm sure there are plenty on here who do.

From experience, deal extreme can take up to a month to arrive and quality of items may not always be great but this mount may well be worth a punt.
Zoning Threats to Cromer/Red Hill/Oxford Fall trails and bushland - IMPORTANT
Hi All,
Today The NSW Department of Planning issued a draft strategic report for the Oxford Falls/Cromer area.
The draft report suggest zoning almost the entire Red Hill/Oxford Falls area E3 – see their map 7 on the link below.
E3 allows a wide range of development including schools, residential etc. It also allows recreational activities.
The risk of E3 zoning is that without constraint, our bushland can become fully developed.

MacAskill's Imaginate - Riding Film
Two years in the making, street trials rider Danny MacAskill releases his brand new riding film. Whilst previous projects have focused on locations and journeys, MacAskill's Imaginate sees Danny take a completely different approach to riding. Enter Danny's mind and enjoy.
Kowalski Classic 2013
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
The Ride Canberra site describes the main forest entrance as being the corner of Kowan Road and Sutton Roads. There is a parking area 5km into the forest along Kowan road with gates that may be locked. Call Canberra Connect (13 22 81) for the combinations or ride from Sutton Road for a warm up.
The Kowalski Classic showcases the masterful work of trailbuilding legends Paul Cole, Alan Anderson and the mysterious Kowalski Brothers. A singletrack marathon like no other, the Full Kowalski will challenge you over a mind bendingly high proportion of flowing singletrack and stout stem biting climbs. The rewards are tantalising traverses, sweet carving descents and a mind bendingly high proportion of singletrack! The Half Kowalski combines the best of both venues for a true test of skill and stamina. Find your flow on the Bird and the Kow.
