Sucking noise - rear shock
Im getting a sucking noise from my rear shock and wondering if I just need to change the seals on them and if so how easy is it to change as Youtube make it look easy.
Shock is a Fox Float CDT Adjust Kashima.

Cyclocross!
Just a heads up that the State Championships of Cyclocross is coming up - July 18 at JJ HIlls (BMX track) near the pub.
Should be a fun day - and if you haven't tried it yet it's the perfect time to give it a go, MTB bikes have their own class so you don't need a CX bike and there are free children's races so bring the whole family
CX is also an excellent spectator sport and we will have quite a few of the Australians who represent us in Europe competing as well as the RFS there cooking up a storm - and you can try to win your own CX Cell bike!

Chain ring
I need to replace my chain and cassette and jockey wheels.
My bike is only 9 months old but I guess the wet conditions in Sydney won this fight.
Now at my LBS I took the bike in and they said if I replace my cassette and chain I should be replacing my Chain rings too otherwise they cant guaranty my safety as the chain will slip..
I spoke to my mate who builds bikes as a hobby and he said its BS..
Does having to replace a 9 month old Chain Ring sound right?

Bike insurance. Which company?
I have my bikes as named items on my house contents insurance which covers them for everything and everywhere but since adding my latest bike, the premiums have rocketed so I'm wanting to put them on a specific cycle insurance.
I've had quotes from Velosure and Real Insurance and they're both a similar price and cheaper than having the bikes on my contents insurance.
What other companies are worth getting a quote from and has anyone had any dealings with bike insurance companies and c6an recommend their services?
[Mod. moved to Shopping as looking for a service]

Medowie MTB Track update for 05 Jul
Quite a lot of Damp areas, especially muddy and wet in a lot of places, will need a fair while to dry out, 1st time riding here, and ran into another rider up from Sydney, also agreed very muddy and wet, bordering on RED in some areas.

Wildflower Garden update for 05 Jul
Muppet Show is very boggy, and getting badly cut up in the lower parts.
I recommend avoiding, and taking the link that keeps more parallel with Mona Vale Road.
The rest of the trail is in rideable condition
