Spare XTR brake bolt anyone?
Went for a ride today and lost the bolt that holds the brake pads and spring in place on the rear. Anyone out there got a spare lying around I can buy off you?
[Mod. moved to chat as is a request rather than discussion of an item. Really should be a wanted classified!]
Anyone got any opinions on this?
Got 2k to spend..absolute tops.....was looking to buy used with hopefully some upgrades..... then saw this.

Anyone had one, ridden one, got an opinion.
Seems like a lot for the money but don't know much about reliability, build quality etc.

NPA at it again
The National Parks Association is at again, promoting their special brand of misinformation - this time in Brisbane's Courier Mail.
These guys know no shame, it seems. I've sent a letter off to the Courier Mail in response, but I guess the points for us are:
- the battle will be ongoing with these guys
- expect it, and not be disheartened when they continue to trot out their irrational rubbish
Frame paint wearing off
The paint is wearing off my frame quite easily where it's in contact with cables – I can see the metal of the frame. I bought my GT Sensor '11 last year (11mths and 5 days on today).
It started at the back, where a cable is touching the frame (seat post) which is moving because of the rear suspension going up/down. Then it was at the front, because of the steering… and now it's everywhere a cable touch the frame.
Majura Pines update for 07 Aug
Majura Pines is no more! I went there last week and found it closed : all signage removed (except one hand written note on the old map board - "If your here... you shouldn't be") and heavy equipment busy leveling trees. According to the locals I talked to out at Sparrow Hill, they are putting a road through Majura Pines and it's now "gone".
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

How the hell do you break the bead on UST tyres?
My trust Aredents have let me down. Some how i managed to stake a decent size hole in the centre of the rear tyre. Now these tyres have copped some abuse around, LCNP, Terrey Hills, Appin and Blue Mountains, over the last 2 years, never a problem. Hit singleton on the weekend, one of the smoothest tracks around. 5km in, there was a hiss and then a ferris wheel of stans fluid. Had a tube no problem, quick fix. NO. Do you think I could break the love a fair my Ardents and UST Fulcrum rims were having. No chance. Obviously this is why they are called Maxxis LUST.

The trails used for the Wollombi Wild Ride
A ride worth travelling for.
Hey everyone im getting sick of the same old here on the north and want to venture a bit wider and have a really good ride. I was thinking maybe ourimbah or somewhere with decent single track and maybe some light downhill...
Can anywhere be suggested?
Thanks all!
