Chain Guides: Fit For Purpose?
I converted to a single chain ring a while back and then during an XC race found I needed a chain guide to keep the chain on at speed over the bumpy stuff.
Due to the fancy suspension system I contacted my bike’s manufacturer who said the only chain guides that work successfully are certain models by MRP and e.thirteen. I bought an MRP because it was lighter.
Is there anywhere within 90 minutes drive of Sydney that is ok to ride tomorrow
Had booked a Narrowneck ride tomorrow morning and its going to be washed out and full of clouds.
Did not want to miss the opportunity of this leave pass.
Can anyone advise of what is rideable within 90 mins of Sydney - Maybe Wingello
Thanks

Weather at Narrowneck and track conditions
I am considering a ride at Narrowneck Saturday morning - Anyone know what the weather has been like and track conditions or any alternatives?
Thanks
WSMTB Stans No Tubes 4 Hour - Rnd 3 - Cancelled
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
Unfortunately Round 3 of our Summer 4 Hour Series (19 Feb) has had to be cancelled. This is due to the amount of track damage caused by the torrential downpour last Thursday 16 Feb (100mm in an hour) plus more rainfall, and forecast of more rain.
If you have already registered and paid, you could transfer this money towards our next Club races, or email me at [email protected] (with bank details) for a refund.

Rear Derailleur Adjustment
Should be a well drained topic, still I have a niggling issue I can't seem to overcome:
I can adjust the rear derailleur either for high gear or low gear!
The gear:
Shimano XT 9 sp rapid rise from 2006
The problem:
After careful adjustment following all the how-to's and manuals I can either ride for
- "low gears", which means low gears work all great but he chain will come off very sluggishly from the 2-3 smallest cogs when shifting down. With the rapid rise this means this is the direction in which the derailleur springs push.
Experimental: Great North Road Early Sunday morning ride.
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Hi,
keen to do something different. I have never been on the GNR before, but have a GPS file/ description which indicates that a great loop ride of somewhat just over 40km can be had in the area. Other accounts indicated that it drains well.
So, if you want to experiment together with me, sign up!
If you know the area, you can still join, but don't tell the group. 
You would not want to loose out an opportunity on watching the rest of the group to get lost, right!
Cheers,
Volker
