How to avoid Chain Suck??
Hi recently on my ride in NZ I got chainsuck pretty bad with all the mud and grit on the track getting onto the chain. Does anyone know if there is a mechanical means of being able to avoid chain suck? Appreciate your feedback on this thanks.
Ironhorse MK3
am looking at buying a new bike for more XC/trail riding as I currently have an Norco 6 one and would like something lighter and more suited to the possibilty of racing in future just so you know im about 192cm and 95kg. Has anyone got or experienced the Ironhorse MK3 comp if so any suggestions ? I have also been looking at the Scott spark 40/50 if anyone has any suggestions id appreciate it.

Freeing Pistons
My rear Pistons seems to get stuck Closed (against the rotor). they go back in once pushed but get stuck closed again when braking. Was thinking about taking the pads out and cleaning behind and trying to spray a bit of lube behind the pads,
Without getting any near the pads as lube doesnt really aid stopping.
Would that be the right way to go about it or are seals or something going to need to be replaced?

Almost perfect
An almost perfect lap, just one small dab at the top of Laugesen's Ladder and a few pedestrians to slow down for in 3 different places. Could easily go sub 33 with a clear run.

Thanks

GS or SGS?
Hey Guys,
A few months ago I replaced my rear XT derailleur with a new M770 XT SGS (long cage). When comparing the two it looks like the cage on my new one is longer than my old one.
Looking at the Shimano site I can see that SGS is actually super long cage.
Since getting the new derailleur I have broken two hangers – one because a stick wound its way up through the lower jockey wheel. This lends me to think I need the shorter GS (medium cage) derailleur.
I run a 11-32 cassette and 3 rings up front.
What do you think?
Terrey Hills Night Ride
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.
Let's try that again...
The Mont is on in couple of weeks.
I haven't riden on dirt since that crash at Appin in January. I rode at Ourimbah on Saturday and it's clear more dirt is required quick smart!
Have just got back from couple week holiday.
Haven't used lights on the bike since... must be the Scott?
All this tells me it's time for a night ride at Terrey Hills to make sure the lights are still working.and make sure I can still ride on the dirt before going up to GNR 
New PB for the Dam
Monday - the track was empty and in great shape - able to knock another minute off my best time.
