Hi There

I'm 44 years of age and got into mountain biking 8 months ago. I've now brought my fitness and riding to a level of been confindant to enter into races. This will be my first race and looking for a keen partner to do the DUO Classic together and posible many more.

I'm located in the Inner West of Sydney and currently do the majority of my training at Loftas.

Please also feel free to contact if you just wish to train together.

I've been bitten by this bug and just can't get enough of it!!!!! So always keen to ride day or night.

Graham

For Sale: Hope Tech EVO X2 Hydraulic brakes (braided lines) *NEW

Price:

320.00

I have front and rear Hope Tech EVO X2 Hydraulic brakes (with braided lines) *NEW up for sale.

I bought them a week ago and found out (stupid me) that the rear cable on my bike is 1750mm and these are not long enough, unfortunately i can't return them because i did a test install and have left a mark on the bolt hole of the front brake, so they wont swap them so my loss is your gain.

the brakes are brand new - took them out of the box and literally test fitted them to the bike, they look great but as indicated the rear is too short.

SRAM XX1

I've been using SRAM XX for a few years but my new bike arrives in 3 weeks and I've been given the choice of running Shimano XTR in 2 x 10 like my current setup or the SRAM XX1. I haven't paid any attention to XX1 as I haven't had a need to until now and just assumed a 1x system would only suit those with legs of steel like our elite racers.

I would love to hear from those who have made the change and how they have found it. Especially those who don't finish the 100km races in 4hrs as the 4hr guys legs are in no way like mine
