Crank Arm Lengths
After recently suffering from a sore knee on most rides I have been looking at cleat positions, seat fore/aft adjustments etc when I came across a few articles on crank lengths. While there seems to be a few theories on working out the correct length they all end up saying it is trial and error.
My current bike has 175mm cranks and it looks like 165-170mm would be better suited. Has anyone changed cranked lengths and had a noticeable difference.
Cleaning the baby...how?
So I get home after a dirt ride to find my shiny new baby avalanche (she's only 1.0 
) is now a lot less shiny...
bike stand for ute
As anyone who has ridden with me knows I drive a ute...I would like to know if anyone out there knows of a stand I can get to put in the back of my ute so my bike can stand up - it usually lays down which is fine until some moron pulls out in front of me - last week i had to stop so suddenly i was worried i had bent my front wheel...
Anyway, I know that in tray backs they are wide enough for the bike to go across the back of the window but mine isn't - I require a super easy solution as I am not at all practical (although I do delude myself into thinking I am on occasion)
Trek - why so few?
Thats it really, why do they have such a small presence or do I just ride around with my eyes shut (occasionally). I was in Renegade cycles in Lane Cove looking at the Trek mtb's in there as well as the road bike but lets not go there!
Is it just the lack of distributors or are they not generally popular in Oz?
Terry Hills - hard to find/follow?
Hey All,
I've read the trail-guide to the Terry hills ride/s, and wanted to know, as this would be my first go around there (prob. Sunday morning) will it be hard for me to find/follow the trails?
Manly dam was easy enough to work out, but would appreciate it if someone could let me know whether I can tackle it by myself the first time...
thanks!

Narrow Neck - Can you take bikes down Taro's ladder (Blue Mountains) or a trail nearby??
Hey fellow riders,
A gang of us are trying to map out a ride from Katoomba to Mittagong, with a stop over in Yerranderie.
Does anyone know a way to connect Narrow Neck to the Old Cedar road, down in the Megalong Valley? I understand Taro's ladder is VERTICAL and not very bike friendly...
Love to hear if anyone has ridden from Katoomba to Mittagong ...without taking the 6 foot track.
ANY insight, random comments or thoughts ARE much appreciated,
cheers and happi riding
CTMBC all in Goup challenge
This was the DH vs XC "all in group challenge."
It involved an individual time trial along a section of the XC track at Lidsdale
with a bonus points hill climb back up the same track afterwards.
It gave the XCers a taste of DH style sprinting against the clock
without the scary bits and the DHers a taste of XC style getting
around slow corners and pedalling without the scary bits...
Big props to all the DH kids that gave the hill climb a crack on their DH bikes

2007 Cannondale Caffeine F1 - upgraded spec - large - SOLD !
At the urging of my physio, I'm finally moving into the world of full suspension ( lower back problems and old age catching up on me...)
Can't swing the N+1 argument so unfortunately, my beautiful Cannondale hardtail has to go to a new home.
It's a 2007 Caffeine F1 which is around a year old. It's been upgraded a fair bit.....
Main upgrades are wheels and drivetrain.
Wheels are currently XM819's (ust) on dirty flea rear and Lefty front ( 7 months old - as found on the 2007 Taurine Carbon 1)
Unlike me, they are light, strong, fast and tubeless(!) they are also straight and true.
