Elite Category
In most races I've done there is an Elite category. What governs who race in that category? I was studying the results of the last race and realised many in that category were slower than regular weekend warriors racing in the "normal" age categories.
Are certain riders forced to that group or is it self governed?

For Sale: Cyclops Fluid 2 Trainer & Wheel Block
I have a Cyclops Fluid 2 trainer....I am 95% sure of the model but can't see the actual model name printed anywhere on the unit. I am selling it with the front wheel block included. It is a few years old but has not been used more than 10x over the past 18 months. All in tip-top condition, so if you are interested then let me know. Perfect for keeping that winter training going.
The price does not include the bike, accessories, or basketball shown in the photo attached

Switching between a single speed 29'er and a dually 29'er...some advice pls
I recently bought a single speed hard tail 29er. I currently also have a dually 29er which i really enjoy.
The set-up is very similar to my dually which has served me faithfully without any physical issues to date. The only difference is the Thomson set-back seat post and the 80 shock (much lower in the front on the SS. I also have a riser bar on the SS as opposed to a flat bar on the Dually.

Heat Effected Brakes
Hi All,
Hope someone can answer a weird situation to me, and maybe other Riders as well.

Kid Free Weekend in the Vineyards!
This event was an opportunity for us to leave the kids behind after spending 2 full weeks of school holidays with them and spend a weekend away with some friends. After entering the race we booked our Hunter Valley accommodation in the vineyards. On the way up on Friday I get a text from Gordo "mate, we are staying 2 hours from the event". WTF! A quick check of the event details and duh! James Estate is a loooong way from the wine region we are used to visiting...

4 hours at a winery...
I decided to do this at the last minute. Had been toying with the idea of going down to Victoria to do the Giant Odyssey and rack up a few more Maverick Series points, but a bit of work, family stuff and imminent travel pushed it into the too-hard basket.

New ride ...
I'll share my new toy ...
Since getting a 29er (Trek Rumblefish) the 26 dually (Scott Genius RC) wasn't getting much love or attention. It wasn't as quick as the 29er and I missed having a hardtail to play with. So, I ditched the Genius frame and found a brand new Cannondale Furio frameset. This was one of the last 'handmade in the US' frames by Cannondale I believe and the attention to detail is incredible!

Withdrawn: Carbon Lever Avid Elixir 9 Brakeset with Discs
Up for sale I have a set of Avid Elixir 9 brakes with carbon levers, 180mm and 160mm HS1 discs, all rotor bolts and Tri-align caliper bolts.
These are less than a year old and have not had a lot of use. Pads have plenty of life left and I'll throw in a spare set of organic pads.
These brakes are nice and light and would suit the gram-conscious rider. Performance is excellent with goodnpower and modulation and I noticed no brake fade or pump on long fast descents such as those around Mangrove Mountain and Wisemans Ferry.
