OMV
Is OMV stage 1 or 2 open? Here in the cave by the fire I don't have Face Book or Twitter, too busy hiding from the dinosaurs.
Shimano ZEE?
Has anyone used a Shimano Zee crank set yet? How are they different to the other Shimano range of cranks? I'm thinking of putting a set on my single speed to replace my existing one. Anyone tried this yet?
Central Coast Ourimbah Mountain Bike Club Gravity Enduro
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
7hr races in late 2014??
I am wondering whether there is any multi-lap endurance races between 6-8hr in length during November or December later this year and preferably within 3/4hrs drive of Newcastle. Just looking for suggestions because there doesn't seem to be any longer events on.

King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Late notice but, I'm going to do a couple of social paced night laps tonight.

9mm Axle upgrade to 12mm?
Hi everyone been thinking of doing this for a while but not sure if its actually possible. I want to upgrade my 9mm skewer rear axle to a 12mm thru axle. Obviously i would need to change hubs but is it possible with the 9mm dropouts? Apparently it can be done but im not sure with the dropouts?
Cheers.
Ice tech rotors melt
Interesting vid from a german road bike site. Apparently the UCI is set to legalise discs for road racing in 2016, so all the roadies are madly checking out what it all means.
This is a worst-case test, where they load a road bike up with 200k of weight including rider. I'm not sure about the rotor size, my deutsch is long since forgotten, perhaps the native speakers on this site might be able to help, but comment from the site I picked this up from seems to indicate they are only 140s.
The interesting bit is about a minute from the end.
Thanks to Cyclists helping in Manly Dam
Just a quick note to say thanks to the cyclist that that helped me yesterday in Manly Dam. I went over the handle bars in the 19th hole area in and ended up with a dislocated shoulder and some nasty skin burns. I was riding alone so the 2 guys that were riding behind me (I didn't catch their names) helped me out to the street (one of the guys even improvised an arm sling). Not only that they called an ambulance and waited there till they showed up.
Two other MTB riders took care of my bike and possessions.
Bike boxing for flight travel .. Is this bike box a Tardis?
A while back I got a cardboard bike box from a bike shop and there was no way I was going to get my bike in the box so I figured it was a small box. I went back the other week and made sure I got a full size box, a box that actually housed a 29er, but there is no way I can get my bike into the box.
When I went back to the bike shop today the guys looked at me like I was a freak.
I have a Reign 26" - stock shock and same model tyres as it sold with.
