Does the Sydney Olympic XC trail still exist??
hi guys,
just a quick question....does the sydney olympic xc still exist??? from searches i see it was at farifield farm but i have never heard of anyone riding out there???
Rear d adjustment
I just replaced the cable for my rear d (XT shadow 9 spd) and am having trouble getting it to stay in gear in the middle. High and low screws are adjusted perfectly, changes are quick and sharp both up and down. The middle 3-4 gears jumping around all over the place. Any ideas?
Manly Dam update for 12 Aug
I did two laps this morning and the track is certainly rideable.
However there is standing water in many places (mostly avoidable) and a lot of leaf litter about. The Monserra Quagmire is coming back and a new quagmire is forming after Nyrang. Plus pretty much every piece of wood or tree root I rode over was slippery. So I'm marking the track "amber/some issues" until it gets a few days of drying weather.
Also FYI: I was swooped, whacked on the head and scratched on the nose by a Grey Butcherbird cracticus torquatus at the corner of Gibbs Street and Arana just before the Manly Vale School - which left me slightly dazed and bleeding for my second lap. Beware!

Tyre side wall repair
I am have issues with side wall tears on my front tyre.
I recently replaced my Kenda Nevegal with a another kenda Nevegal because of a side wall tear. I have had about 5 rides when i noticed today that i have managed to get another small tear.
Any track updates for Sydney from today (Dam, Cascades, Terrey Hills)?
Trying to decide if tomorrow is MTB or road.
Back to flats.
I finally gave in & purchased some shimano shoes & pedals. I have been very happy with my flats for as long as I can remember, but I thought I'd experiment.
I have tried for about a month now, & my left knee does not like it at all. I've attempted to change cleat positioning, but no improvement. The biggest issue is unclipping. It twists my knee in just the wrong angle. Even on the loosest setting.
Manly Dam update for 10 Aug
Third ride this week.
Dry trail but very windy today with lots of fallen branches and some small trees that blocks some of the singletracks.
Hopefully it won't rain much this weekend
