Help something weird going on with my fork
Need some help. When pumping air into my fork it seems ok until it reaches around 60psi. Then as I try to pump more air it shoots up to 100psi. I can feel quite a lot of resistance if I try to pump any more . The needle on the gauge gradually goes down. I've tried another pump but same thing. Is the air not going into the fork but just filling the hose on the pump? Any help appreciated

Well after 6 months of sitting on the sidelines due to a DVT and hitting a tree I was super eager to race again. I had my eye on this race for months out and was really excited to head down to Kowen/Sparrow and sample the delights on offer. And I had my fill and then some!
Started in wave 3c. Now I have to say that the congestion was ridiculous. I think I was in a conga line till 30km at least. I didn't let it bother me though and just enjoyed the endless flowing ribbon of singletrack. Some people around me were getting really up tight though.

Manly Dam
Hey guys saw this video and I don't recognise half the spots in it. Is there more than just the one track at manly dam?

Well that hurt.
We started with the best of intentions. 12 mates, weekend warriors, commuters and wannabe action heros. All hairy legged and well under prepared for the race. Sorry, I mean ride. The only way to convince the boys to step up, was to set the rules. We ride as a social group, at the slowest persons pace. But even that scared off 4 fellas before the start line arrived. So then there were 8.
As I said, we had the best of intentions, start as a group, cruise as a group, help each other through the difficulties and finish as a group. Simple. Well no. Not really.

Tough day at the office
As the title says, one of the hardest races I've done, probably second only to the 100 mile Fling. Bloody good fun though! Once I've forgotten the pain I'll be signing up for next year.
Missed the podium by 57 seconds!

27.5 inch parts and 26 inch parts
Can anyone advise what parts are interchangeable between the two sizes.
Ie; wheels, brakes, forks, running gears
Cheers
Andrew
