Terrey Hills update for 23 Dec
Very dry, sandy in spots. The pinch climb towards the end of Long was pretty much impassable trying to climb it - much too loose even for a 29er. Lots of traffic today on the trail this morning.
Caught up with spindog on the way back, trying out his brand new 29er.
Wildlife report: Lots of wallabies about. No Black Flash in evidence, though, so they were denied a bit of target practice 
. A few goannas, and brightly coloured parrot back at the RFS car park.
Lowlife report: a couple of bogans in a white japanese ute were yelling inintelligible insults at every cyclist they passed on Forest Way. It must be mating season - there seem to have been unusual numbers of these about the last few days.
Do you have more information?

Cascades update for 23 Dec
Good condition, only wet bits are the normal creek crossings.
Rather hot around 11 when I went through!
Wasn't impressed by the three moto riders coming in off the Stone Parade entrance.

For Sale: Magura MTS brakes, SLX shifters & Hamax child seat
Magura MTS brakes front and rear (no rotors) - $140
These have come off a Specialized Epic and are as good as new. I've ridden them a few times but these have seen no real abuse and have no scratches or markings. These come with the original brake pads with nearly a full life in them.

Manly Dam update for 23 Dec
Clean, Dry and fast all the way.
One set of small puddles where the new back lawn just before the Monserra Causeway (previously known as the Monserra Quagmire) has been overwatered.
Lots of rabbits about early, a few birds, but no spider webs (thanks to whomever went ahead of me before 6am this morning).

Shimano cranksets - which one? M770 or M771
Is there a difference between the two?
M771's are on special at the mo so more inclined to get those.
Compatibility wise, currently running the following so just curious as to whether it will run on it.
Shift Levers SRAM X-9 Trigger
Front Derailleur Shimano LX
Rear Derailleur SRAM X.9
Crankset SRAM GXP1, 22/32/44 teeth
Bottom Bracket SRAM GXP 68mm
Rear Cogs Shimano XT M770 9 Speed Cassette
Chain Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR 7701 9 Speed Chain
Withdrawn: Mavic Crosstrail UST wheels inc Nobby Nic and Crossmark - now $200
Here for sale are a set of Mavic Crosstrail UST wheels that are in very good condition. They have been used but not heavily as I have preferred riding my 29er or the road bike. I've managed to get a great deal on a set of xtr/crest wheels so these are now surplus to my needs.
They have a few scratches from use but are straight and true and spin well, they are 6 bolt hubs and 9mm QR.
They will be sold with mavic skewers and tyres, Nobby Nic and Crossmark, both UST which have lot of tread left on them. They are pictured with discs but they won't be included in the sale.
Terrey Hills update for 21 Dec
Rode the Perimeter and Long Track yesterday, only a lady riding a horse and two walkers spotted. Track was in great condition. What a great view at the end looking over Cowan.

Ryland update for 21 Dec
Getting very sandy in places. Was trialling some narrow bars and they don't seem to give as much control in deep sand as wider ones! Otherwise all good.
