Wanted: 18/19" soft tail wanted
Hi, I know someone who is wanting a bike for a 16th birthday present after discovering MTB at a school camp. We are looking around the $1000 mark or a bit more for a bike that is second hand but in reasonable condition. He definitely won't be racing (though we all say that and things change! ) with it, so it doesn't need it to be super light, though I suspect he'll enjoy a soft tail a lot more that has 5" of travel - something like a Giant Trance or Trek Fuel 26er would probably be fine.

NZ - Queenstown
Hi,
I've been a user of information on this site for quite a while, and never really had the opportunity to contribute until now.
I've just returned from a 10 day holiday to Queenstown NZ where I did a fair amount of riding. I went with the family (wife, 6yr old boy, 5yr old girl) all of whom are keen cyclists so we did a lot of riding and exploring.

Enduro / All Mountain Setup
With all this rain about I figured now's a good time to review my riding position and bike setup (rather than tear around the dam and BB after work).
Looks like much has been published on the net but hoping some of you can point me in the direction of some of the better info out there.

Ourimbah State Forest update for 28 Jan
Have you looked outside lately?
I haven't ridden for a few weeks but with so much rain, use common sense and give it a rest.

Old Man's Valley update for 28 Jan
There's no 'official' status for this track but given the rain last couple of days I'd imagine the track is in no state to ride.

Manly Dam update for 27 Jan
Have you looked outside lately? Not officially closed by council yet, but with constant rain for over 24hrs, use common sense and give it a rest.
