Relief for AU retail & LBS's in particular?
Hi everyone,
*disclaimer
I work for an online retailer registered in AU but not in the cycling industry*
you might all be kind of interested in this.

Its about giving AU retail a level playing field.
Our friend Joe wants to reduce the tax threshold for overseas online purchases. I read somewhere that, or someone on this forum once told me that, retail here in AU employs about 40% of the AU workforce.
So there is plenty of votes for Joe & Tony in this.

Jet 9 RDO Finally finished!
Finally got the XT M8000 1x11 yesterday and fitted it last night.
I've not taken it on the dirt with this setup but a few laps up and down the street last night has it shifting really crisply and needing hardly any pressure on the shifter to move up and down the gears.
Spec is as follows:-
Fork: SID RCT3 120
Wheels: Stans Arch Ex rims. D240 hubs. DT Comp spokes.
Post: Truvativ Noir carbon
Saddle: Selle Italia SLR x-cross flow
Bar: Easton Haven carbon
Rotors: XT Icetech
Brakes: XT M8000
Groupset: XT M8000
Tyres: Front, Ardent Race. Rear, Ikon.

I should just give up now.......
Part of a longer commute into the city, but still, pretty disappointing how little I've improved since the last time I timed this! Absolutely love it though, and just up the road so no excuses for more practice
Main goal is to get that closer to 35 minutes

Cycleops trainer warranty
More of a rant to let off some steam than anything else, but I thought that someone else might benefit if it helps them make a better purchasing decision when they're looking for a trainer. Grab a coffee and read on if you dare.

Where to Jump?
Hello everyone. I want to work on my jumping technique so i can start hitting bigger stuff but not sure where to go practice. I need to work my way up. Does anyone no of a good place to do this? Could a nice pump track suffice?
Cheers,
Jono.

Plenty of Magpies about, I've been swooped three times by different birds in the last two days.
