Lost
Hi all, one of my riding buddies lost his Cateye cycle computer yesterday at the Dam. It may have come off at the fast rocky decent behind Allambie. It is quite small, but if someone does happen to find it along their travels im sure he would be eternally grateful. Let me know if you have found it and want to swap it for a beer....
Cheers

Seized on RP23 Valve Cap
Anyone got any recommendation of how to remove the cap, mine seems to be seized on, which is a tad annoying.
I have tried a pair of plyers to remove it as well.

Only 4 seconds in it
Only 4 seconds slower then my fastest so considering I had 60+km in my legs I was pretty happy with this.
Lap 5

Took 7 minutes off
2 weeks ago I finally had success at this climb. Today I took 7 minutes off so I was pretty happy with that

Father's Day Golden Jubilee Social Ride / Explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter from Esk St near Westbrook Avenue Wahroongah. Car park between the two ovals.
After Jono has whet all our appetites with his photos, hawkeye jnr has issued an edict that we MUST ride this place this weekend.
Says I: "Sounds good to me "
Usual disclaimers apply: know your abilities and ride within your limits, as only YOU have control of them.
Other than that, the only rule is: have fun!
Happy to shift the time +/- half an hour if the demand is there to suit peoples' schedules.

Manly Dam update for 03 Sep
Track is pretty much dry.
BUT
There has been a lot of erosion from recent rains making for a pretty bumpy ride. Sunken rocks have now become visible and the pine logs have become quite pronounced. Some of the single track parts have scalloped down quite deep - such as after the 19th hole near the swings and parts of the top single track.
Go and enjoy while its dry.

Help: Replace Giant X2 Front Derailleur
Looking to do my first bit of bike part replacement after breaking the front derailleur on my 2010 Giant Trance X2. The bike is all original parts.
I've checked the bike and Giant website and think that I need the item below (on wiggle).

Is this the right part?
Any help would be appreciated.

Waratah Track update for 02 Sep
perfect.....although the trail towards the end is heavily eroded and large puddles are starting to appear. Probably avoid the end section.....otherwise great.
