Adjustable Seatposts
Had anybody got/know about on-the-fly adjustable seatposts.
There seem to be quite a few options out there.
so far i have found:
Crank Bros Joplin
RASE http://www.rasebike.com/
Fezzari Drop In
Gravity Dropper
Specialized Command
I have 1 big restriction: I have a Kona, which for some reason has a 30.0mm seatpost.
I don't mind using shims, but i obviously can't go any bigger.
any opinions welcome (expect for telling me that regular seatposts are height adjustable as well - i already know that)

Watch Ben Henderson on the Hammerhead at Stromlo for The World Cup
Wow it look really fun! I wanna play on it too!

Beetroot juice may boost endurance - forget the training
Consuming beetroot juice may boost stamina and allow people to exercise for up to 16 per cent longer, according to a new study from the UK. The vegetable juice’s nitrate content may reduce oxygen uptake to an extent that cannot be achieved by any other known means, making exercise less tiring, according to findings published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. “We were amazed by the effects of beetroot juice on oxygen uptake because these effects cannot be achieved by any other known means, including training.”

2010 Giant Catalog
The complete Giant catalogue for 2010 is online here http://www.giant-bicycles.com.au/emag.html . I has got all the specs for all of the bikes but not the prices.
They haven't got rid of the reign as many people thought they would.

Racing DVD's
Does anyone out there know of a DVD i can throw on while i participate in my new sport of Indoor bike training . I have a copy of the 2006 24 hour solo (where Craig Gordon proves Aussies are the toughest riders) and love the helmet shots . I kinda know the ending now and need more inspiration , and single track action . There are a few freeride / dirtjump DVD's but these dont help as i seem to like to ride to racing and single track better
Thanks

Manly MP Mike Baird is today meeting with the Environment Minister Carmel Tebbutt to find a solution that would give mountain bikers access to sustainable tracks but ensure the environment is protected.“I believe a win-win situation is possible. Our national parks must be protected but they should also be enjoyed,” Mr Baird said.
