Which Shimano Rear Derailleur
Hey all,
So i've smashed my fourth rear derailleur in just over a year today. I had a cage fail on a xtr shadow (with a carbon cage) then bought the same one again and caught a branch that ripped the cage to pieces.. Switched to an xt and a crash took that one out and bent another cage on an xt today thats beyond repair. So ive been having a look online and it seems shimano have stopped developing 3x9 (please correct me if im wrong but i cant find anything new in 9 speed)
2012 Chocolate Foot
Quicker than last year at least. Going with offical times although garmin/strava showing a minute or so faster.
Far from my best day on the bike, too hot
Support your local club 2013
I was at my local club round HMBA - Hunter Mountain Bike Association on the weekend, and the club president was discussing the importance of club particapation to keep the clubs healthy and to provide support for the maintence and creation of local trails.
Given 'legal' trails are few an far between, it is important for us to support the ones we have, which are in most part built and maintained by our local clubs.
Menai Update ?
Its been a while since we had an update on negations for access to Menai's trails.
Does anybody have an informed update on he status of this ?
Father + Son (or other family combination) Mont 24 team members wanted!
Looking for a father + son pair to make up a social team for the Brady Bunch Sixes classification at next year's Mont 24.
We have 2 dad+son pairs committed but the son from our other pair from last year is unavailable due to having to prioritise studies this year (a little thing called the HSC I believe).
I think we'd still qualify for Brady Bunch even with another two non-related riders at a pinch, but if we could get another family pair (mother/son, dad/daughter, brother/sister, aunt/uncle, grandad, cousins... hubby/wife) that would be awesome.
Old Mans Valley - opening date
Any news on the opening date for Old Mans Valley? I've been watching the build via Facebook and very keen to get up there once opened.

Marramarra National Park update for 19 Nov
All fine. The first 2km of the Smuggler's singletrack has been made into firetrail.
I hit the Smuggler's descent. It was bloody steep, hardly a bike track. But bits of it were amazing, and the views were fantastic. I recommend this one to anyone keen for a hike-a-bike adventure!

Withdrawn: Wanted: 4"+ dually for a mate
A buddy is looking for a reasonably priced bike for his first dually. He's ~178cm so I'm guessing something around a 580-590mm top tube. Something like a medium in Toyota...sorry...Giant...or Specialized sizing.
I reckon he should go longer travel but I have little finesse and straight line everything, lol.
