JetBlack MTB101
Went down to Nowra to do the inaugural JetBlack MTB101 which was about 100km of all single track, the track was good fun with some techy bits over rocks. The event was well organised and run by elite energy.
Many people pulled out before the finish as it was tempting being a 7 lap race, each time you passed the start finish. A lot of people on Farkin thought it was too hard being all single track but I preferred it to courses with a lot of fire road and paddocks to cross.

No front brake !
Just got back from a ride and have no front brake. Could I have lost all the fluid ? I've got little pressure, the pads still come onto the rotor when the lever is depressed, but the lever goes all the way to grip !
Any suggestions ?

Wheel rebuild - any experience and opinion?
Hello,
I was told at the LBS that if I wanted to do something good for my bike, I should get the wheels rebuild.
My first thought was that I had spent a small fortune on the bike - why should I rebuild the wheels, are they no good?
1- I would like to know what are the reasons? Are the factory wheels so much worse than hand build wheels?
2- If you had your wheels rebuild, did you do that yourself or with which bike shop did you have a good experience? And how much should it cost?
I have DT Swiss 420SL (Specialized Customs).
Thanks
Sascha

Editing your own User Profile
Is anybody else having problems editing their own profile.
You used to go to My Account and then select the edit tab - well I don't have the edit tab, I don't have any tabs. I just want to correct the spelling of Surly but I can't.
Is this a problem site wide?

Canberra over Easter long weekend?
I'm keen to go down to Canberra over the Easter long weekend to ride a Majura Pines (would have to be on Friday because of the Solo 24H the day after) then Sparrow Hill (Saturday) and maybe Stromlo too (Saturday/Sunday), and why not a quick dash at Wingello on the return trip (am I crazy? )
I've never been to ANY of those trails before so I was wondering whether anyone else is planning to go down and we could ride together at a social/exploratory/intermediate pace (this is definitely not DW training).
