10 speed for the masses
Didn't take long for 10 speed to filter down to the rest of the range! All the way down to X7. Very very tempting

Sorry to start another forum about tyres, but...
What tyres are people going to use for Capital Punishment?

DW Training @ TH
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
This will be the last week for training as I intend on resting the week leading up to the DW race. Repeat of last week Duck, Waratah, Elvina then Centre. Last week it started at 6:45pm but hoping to kick this off earlier. If it doesn't suit I am happy to bump it back to 6:45pm. I wouldn't mind pushing to do this in 2 hours if possible which we came close last week but had a mechanical.
Wanting to clip in but have a short leg (3.5cm shorter than the other)
Well, have been inspired by Trev's thread over here http://nobmob.com/node/13306 but have a problem (which I'd kind of forgotten about!)
My right leg is 3.5cm shorther than my left. I had platforms put onto my bike when I bought it because of it, but now I'm thinking of clipping in, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do.
With my current riding shoes, these are just an old pair of trainers which I have my shoe man slice off the sole, insert 3.5cm of fill, then stick the sole back on. Works well for trainers and has done for 10 or so years.
GNR training ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
I'd like to ride Wiseman's GNR but not overly keen on doing it solo for safety reasons.
I'm looking to do about 60 - 80 km, or 4 - 6 hours. Minimal stops along the way apart from nutrition break at half way point.
Meet at the ferry, up Devine's Hill, out past Clare's bridge for x km or hours, and then return via Shepherds gully.
This is a training and familiarisation ride for the upcoming DirtWorks. I'd like to push myself quite hard and work on managing hydration/energy levels. Pace I'm aiming for is something like 60km in about 4 1/2 hrs.

Event Entry Trading... use the Classifieds, Luke
We've noticed an increasing amount of event entries for trade/sale/wanted recently. Sooooo....
... just a gentle reminder that it you want to trade anything - yes, including event entries, please post in classifieds.
Why? Well - so the forum for event discussion doesn't get clogged up with trading, and classifieds are specifically designed to be quickly withdrawn when the item is no longer for trade/sale/wanted (if you're logged in, simply click the 'Click to withdraw' link that appears top of you ad.).
