Brake upgrade
I have Juicy 3 brakes on my hard tail and while they're not bad, I can't help but think some better pads and disks wouldn't go amiss.
What does everyone recommend?

ccomtb round 9
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
The Ourimbah cross country track is very popular with local riders and a growing number of riders from Sydney and Newcastle areas. The track is usually set between 7 and 9 kilometers for club events but can be shortened to 5 Kilometers and extended to 12 kilometers to suit conditions.
This years Club Championship Series will be run over 10 rounds of varying structure and trail routing. See the forum for information about each round in the week preceeding the race.
XC Race day Fees are $15.00 plus an additional $20 for an MTBA day license if you are not an MTBA member.

old times at the Bigfoot
After a bit of fast talking I managed to get my brother keen on the idea of a road trip to Parkes to compete in his first 50 km event with his new trek 29er.Another of my Brothers heard we were doing the big foot and wanted in on the fun so he and his wife also entered .
Withdrawn: shimano xt wheels with rotors cassette and tyres
2010 XT wheelset only used for 1 year and probably less than 300 kms so they are in good condition.
· 9 speed xt cassette that came with the wheels, 11-32 T
· Xtr centrelock rotors, they are the old M960 model but still light and in good shape.
· Tyres, the front one is a crossmark tubeless, may have 40% thread left. Rear is a michelin XCR dry tubeless 40% as well.
As you can see this is a complete set that will be perfect to upgrade your bike or as a spare race/training set.
pick up from leichhardt or we can arrange a different location.
