Manly Dam Saturday Morning
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I am going for a lap around Manly Dam Saturday morning if anyone would like to join me. Can do 2 laps if anyone feels energetic. I am not an expert so will be at social pace.

Rock Shox revelations vs my current OEM fox
I currently have an OEM Talas RL 140 fork with a DT swiss 9mm QR
This is a bit better than the BBQ skewers on most QR systems, but still not as stiff as a 15mm thru axle
I only managed about 2 months ago to track down the constant creak to this fork
Using loctite I have managed to quieten it
I've always liked Fox as they are what I'm used to, but after the probs with this fork I've gone a bit sour on them
It's overdue for a service and rather than spend money on it, I'm thinking of an upgrade

Gearing Troubles
Hi everyone,
I've just got a weird problem with my gears that i haven't been able to find anywhere else.
Basically, when I shift into 1 or 2 on my rear gears, its really hard to do, and shifting into any other gears is really easy.
I'm riding a Centurion Backfire 3md and the specs on my gears are as follows.
Front Derailleur: Shimano M190
Rear Derailleurs : Shimano Acera-X (8 speed)
Chainwheel: Shimano M131 42-34-24 CG
Bottom Bracket: Cartridge bottom bracket
Chain: KMC Z51
