29'er SS V's 26" geared - shotout
I’ve always wondered what is faster the Surly Karate Monkey (29er) SS or the Yeti ASR RC 26inch with 27 gears. I haven’t ridden the Yeti since the Fling but with the SS in for a fork service I had time to find out.
The course was my standard Terrey Hills training loop of the shops to Duck Holes / Waratah / Centre via the sniggle. It’s a distance of 24.85k.
early winmalee fun
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
Just heading out early for a medium to fast paced training ride. Feel free to come along.
seat gone bad
In this one you can see where the shell has broken at the tip of the saddle and exposed the green foam.
Anderson climb
Took the new 429 down Andos today and thought I'd have a crack at my hot lap time from May 08, I thought I might be struggling as I'd been chasing my very fast friend up the highway from Woodford then down Andos and the heat was picking up. I flicked on the pro pedal and lock out and smashed my old time by a whopping 1m 27s the training must be working.

Flat bar
Hey we are currently trying to find the best setup for Vaninas bike, We are looking for a narrow flat bar to borrow and see if that works. It would be best to get one with a 31.8 clamp as I have more stem lengths to work with but either will do.
Cheers for the help.

Leaky rear shock - service or replace?
As the title suggests I am loosing pressure in my rear shock, a fox float R. It's on my 04 Stumpjumper and will be coming up to 5 years of abuse this year. It is a very gradual thing but its a pain. Is it worth servicing? or getting a new one? Looks like I need a new wheel set too so it could be a costly time especially seeing as I actually want to buy a new bike, Mountain and Road.
