Cascades update for 14 Sep

Area:

Cascades

Status:

Green/Open

Still lots of sticks on track all over the lines from recent cut back. Very dry now and quick again. Only around 8 degrees this morning. Very cold at 6am.

Do you have more information?

Kids on bikes? Seat or Trailer?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'm about to introduce my Wife & 16 month old daughter to the joys of riding. I tease my wife that our daughter will be a future downhill world champion

No trails as yet... just riding on local paths like Narabeen lakes.

Has anyone else got their family, including young kids, into riding? If so I'm interesting in bike seat vs. bike trailer.

I can see some pro's an con's for both. What have others found or am I a NobMob pioneer?

Bike seat - pros...
More invovled in the experience
Can be permanently attached to the wifes bike
Cheaper tha trailer

Bike Seat - cons

Manly Dam update for 13 Sep

Area:

Manly Dam

Status:

Green/Open

All the single track is good. A few puddles on some of the south facing slopes.

Do you have more information?

Which cassette?

Have a Yeti 575

Rear cassette has just given out with teeth shearing off etc etc. This is my first cassette replacement.

What matters when purchasing a new one? where's the best place to source?

Things I think I know already
Good to replace both cassette and chain at same time
doesn't matter if I have SRAM derailleur/shimano cassette
high-end stuff may wear quicker
