Like all the best inventions this thing looks so simple... so why did no-one think of it sooner? Possibly 'cos a large hook will do the same job? 
Port Hills, Christchurch, NZ
I have just been to Christchurch, NZ, and there are amazing rides on the Port Hills right close to the city. Easy access, great scenery, mtb parks with dh shuttle bus service if you want.
Have a look:

And a wonderful singlespeed shop if that's your bag - www.grindbikes.co.nz (great bikes but get your coffee at the Lyttelton Coffee Company). Paste the links.
Benji Vintage Rock Shox Fix!
Thanks to the quick spare parts response from Whisperer my son Benji is riding again - with his vintage Spesh FSR "Ground Control" . No wonder they call Steven the "Bike Whisperer"!
Maintainence at Manly Dam = Closure of the downhill section from Nov 10
Just received this from the rangers. Personally I don't mind how the trail currently is. However I do hope they do something that improves the fun rather than what they did on the Allambie section with those inverted water bar things.
To Manly Dam mountain bike users
Notification of upcoming Manly Dam fire trail (mountain bike trail) maintenance work.
Please be advised that from Monday 10 November essential fire trail (mountain bike trail) upgrade works will begin at Manly Dam.
Wanted: Retainer Washer for Rockshox Deluxe Coil Shock (2000)
My son Benji lost the retainer washer/disc that holds the coil on his ~ 2000 vintage Rockshox Deluxe coil shock (Spesh FSR "Ground Control").
The image below is of a similar shock - it is the round silver disc/washer that holds/retains the coil (near the red lever). It is a round "washer" approx 40mm dia with a slot for inserting. Please check your spares box as I am keen to get him back on the trail. Pay premium $$
Sat 8th Local?
Yo!
I was going to be taking a newbie mate on a lap of the Dam this Sat, but he's gone soft so won't be coming. I know there's the Red Hill ride on, but would rather have a lap or three at the Dam, or perhaps 4/8 gates at Cascades - anyone else like a fairly fast-ish paced local ride? Will be aiming for a sociable 8:30-9 starting time.
I'm guessing there won't be many takers with many away at the Fling, but if there's interest let's meet up.
Cheers!
Should we make the 'my unseen' or front page refresh automatically?

Ourimbah this Sunday the 9th Nov.
Hi all,
We've entered as a team of 3 for the Fat Tyre Festival but none of us have ever been to Ourimbah before. We plan to go this Sunday the 9th to scope the course out. If anyone who has been there before and wants to show us around, let me know.
