Replacing Hayes trail with shimano XT
Hi
I'm thinking of replacing my Hayes trail disk brakes for some shimano XT brakes. Can any one tell me if this will work. My bike is a kona hoss so I bought the bike because I'm around 130kg and it was sold as there Clydesdale bike.
I'm going to try and do it my self.
Will the rotors that r already on there work with the new brakes or will I have to replace the rotors as well.
I'm going to get them of CRC.
Any comments about the best way to do this would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim

Wildflower Garden update for 08 Jan
A few puddles on the section between the Showground and Ryland, but otherwise no problems from the rain.
The stacked log roll over on the Wildflower Gardens end (the section that seems to be called Johnny's Jaunt on Strava?) took a beating on the weekend and the logs were pretty loose. Hard to roll over them when the top log rolls with you! Tried to chock it up as best I could on the way back but it probably needs a bit more work to stabilise it properly.
Someone has moved the tree that was across the track on Muppet Show.

Awaba State Forest update for 08 Jan
It appears the Awaba tracks were very thirsty. After the rain there is only a few small puddles, the rest is tacky & great to ride.

New York City
Does anyone know of any good 1/2 day or 1 day adventures from or around New York?
Possibly there in April for other reasons than riding but may go insane without burning off some energy.
Open to non-riding adventures too.

Manly Dam consultation sessions: Free BBQ and a chance to have your say!
Here's a bit of welcome news: Warringah Council are running two consultation sessions on the future of Manly Dam. Even better, these are to be run at the Dam and accompanied by a free BBQ lunch.
If you haven't been to the Dam in a while perhaps this is the perfect excuse? Take a ride, grab some well earned post-ride lunch and let the council know what an important venue this is for riders.
Dates are in our calendar and are:
Sunday 12 January, 12.30pm - 2.30pm
Saturday 1 February, 12.30pm - 2.30pm
Details from council here:
http://www.warringah.nsw.gov.au/your-council/pla...
This is all part of the consultation process which will end on Monday 10 February, so if you can't get there be sure to give your input in some other way on how the park (and of course mountain bike track) should be managed.
More details on the consultation here:
