++++ Warning: Anyone selling a bicycle online? +++++
Hi
My bicycle has been for sale on gumtree for many months. Finally I got an email asking about it, if it were still for sale, is it in the same condition etc, etc.
Finally they write:

durable chainrings
My middle chainring is looking very worn, ( truvativ alloy stylo about 4 months old ) I blame this on the sand and lots of puddles up Red Hill.. anyhow I have ordered a new crankset after a rock attacked my bike and destroyed the large chainring last sunday, while its all apart i was thinking of putting in a more durable middle ring, this brings me to the subject;
Looking around the interweb, I see lots of conflicting info on steel V alloy chainrings, soooo does anyone have a good practical/experienced view on the most durable middle chainring?
thanks
dave

Anybody know what all the white arrows around manly dam are for? (apart for the obvious smarty pants answer i know someone like me would put up about them being for directions)

Chain drop from top derailler
G'Day !
Long time reader, first time blogger !
Can anyone suggest why the chain "drops" from the middle front chain ring when I go down "steps" etc.. Depending on the "drop" the chain "falls" to the smaller cog.
Any ideas ?
Cheers, Toddy

DNS Outage
Apologies for the slight outage this morning. Although the site was here and working fine, no-one could see it due to an outage at our DNS provider. In fact, if you are behind a firewall or ISP with long cache times you might not even have noticed.
Aside from NoBMoB being out, this is quiet disturbing as all my personal mail stopped working, as did a few other important things.

Jumping gears
As above, my gears are jumping all over the place, even with relatively low load on them. I had my bike serviced last month and so far I've taken it back three times and I'm reluctant to go back to the LBS again as I had similar problems after the first service (I wanted to give themn another chance). On the first ride after the service they were all over the place and they fixed this up in a couple of mins, subsequently I've had issues with my shocks but they are all good now.

Edge 305 & GPX Files
I have exported the route created on bikely and tried to load it in my Edge 305 but I am having dificulties. Has anyone loaded routes from bikely before or am I doing something wrong. To load to the GPS unit I am using the Motionbased Agent but it says something like invalid file.
PS. If someone has the Edge 305 and could test it using the below link that would be great
