Press Fit Bottom Brackets
How bad is that plastic thing Shimano call a bottom bracket?
Yes they are cheap, is that because they need to be replaced every 6-8 months?
Never had these problems with outboard bottom brackets, just clean and forget, last forever.
Time to replace again, just interested in what other people are using as alternates?
Anyone using a Wheels Manufacturing alloy bottom brackets? Looks good, alloy body and a choice of different type of endure bearings, depending on what you want to spend.
Cheers
Climb fest
A bit of unfinished business, as I'd DNF'd my previous two attempts at this race.
However, it's a climbers race, with 680m of vertical for a 26km lap, so not really where I expected to do well. Even though I was in pretty good nick, the repeated assaults of Mt Stromlo took their toll. Finished 10th out of 14 starters in the over 50's. Didn't have enough over 60's for a category apparently 
Overall, 73rd out of 95 starters.
The Pioneer - 7 days in New Zealand, a beautiful country that makes for a brutal test
There were times that I actually thought I would be better off sat at my desk at work……luckily hindsight is a wonderful thing and I can now say that the time I spent in New Zealand’s South Island, racing the inaugural Pioneer stage race, with friends and newly made friends, in an amazing environment, and enjoying the hospitality and culture was full of unforgettable moments and enjoyment.

Lost Topeak Alien Bike tool
Hi Guys
Looks like my Topeak Alien bike tool has fallen off my bike!
Most likely on Manly Dam trail - I suspect on the fast downhill sections on the Alambie Road side.
Less likely Gahnia trail.
It is in it's black canvas case - reckon the belt loop snapped...
I'd be most grateful if anyone finds it, to get back to me.
More sentimental value than anything else..it's saved me a few long walks home...
Cheers
Errol
