ESI Racers Edge grips 'throttling'
I've had a pair of ESI racers edge grips for about 6 months now and I have had to remove them and put them back on a few times. The grips are not worn and have had little use. Just recently I bought a new set of bars and had to remove and put the grips back on for a third time in their lifespan. Now the grips won't 'stick' to the bars like they used to.
I have sprayed silicon inside them like your supposed to but they still won't stick. Any recommendations or is it just time for a new set?

Manly Dam update for 21 Feb
A fair few puddles early this morning. 50/50 call whether they might close it. 10mm of rain over night

Forestville Park Ovals
A bit lost yesterday trying to find Gahnia I ended up on the far side of Forestville Park’s (Ferretville) second oval. One of the club members I know was mowing and waved me around the edge of the oval. That night a Ferret director was at my place and mentioned that the club feel that bikes riding across the oval, on the one track, are doing damage.
Agree with this or not, we should probably not ride across the ovals for “good neighbourly relations”. The long grass has now been cut so it’s easy to ride around the oval’s edge.

Withdrawn: Capital Punishment 50K 2015 entry
I misread the entry details and missed the entry cut off date for the 2015 Capital Punishment.
Looking to do the 50k but keen enough to have a crack at the 100k if that's all that's on offer.
If you have an entry that you no longer want or you cant make the event, I'd happily pay you to take it off your hands

Tubeless valves
Guys any thoughts on the best valves to use for a tubeless rim?
I'm having a hard time sealing the Shimano ones I've put in my new LB rims.
They seem to move around a lot in the hole.

Jason English Helmet Cam
Just watched this video Jason English took of his first lap last week at the Ginja Ninja at Orange with his heart rate, power, cadence etc showing along the bottom of picture. Hopefully the link works.
I know I always feel like I’m going to drop dead in the first half lap of any of these races with my heart jumping out of my mouth so it was refreshing to see Jason had his heart doing over 180bmp for more than half the lap and his breathing sounded just like mine.
