Mountain Bike Australia Mag

I've just noticed that 'Mountain Bike Australia' Magazine is now available for digital download on 'Zinio.' I have been quite happy using Zinio for the last few months - particularly a subscription to 'Surfer' & 'Bike' for $9 each.

Bargain.

This is not meant to be a promo! Just letting you all know. The American publication of 'Bike' at $9 for 9 issues is a bargain. (If a few of you are cunning enough, you could share a username/password and share subscriptions across multiple computers/tablets)

Broken saddle at the Fling

Broke my saddle at the fling... Felt something wasnt right at the 10km mark. Then one by one each of the side rails - front of the seatpost and behind, snapped and gave way. Total failure at the 39km mark... Had to "ride" the last 20kms using the actual saddle as a lid for the seatpost!

DT Swiss RWS Thru Bolt

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi guys,
This should be a quick one... Looking at stiffening up the rear on my Scott Scale hardtail (carbon version) so I was going to convert my DT 240 hubs to the 10mm thru bolt.
Only there's so many options that I thought I might just double check before I order the wrong one.
The thru bolt comes in 135 and 150, fairly sure I need the 135, which is the width of the hub but then what would the 150 version be for?
Here's a link to the bolt and kit, if anyone who knows this stuff could have a quick look I'd be forever grateful.

Help planning commute

Hi forum,

I'm thinking about driving the car less and cycling more often (Hardtail) in Sydney's North.

I would appreciate some advice and ideas to the best way to cycle from 3 different "A to B".
I would like a reasonably fast ride that is safe and also a bit fun. I would rather avoid busy main roads.
Directions, google map or a link to a useful trip planning resource would be much appreciated.

Which way to ride from Sydney East Substation in Belrose to:
1. Manly Ferry in Manly.
2. Warriewood surf club off narrabeen park parade.
3. Hornsby Train Station.

Thankyou,
kris

Hi,

it's been a long time since I have been on a Wed night social!

In order to revive this great tradition, I thought we might try an easy combination of Duck Holes, Centre, Perimeter and Long Trail, wash the smoke and ashes down with a beer at the turning point on Long Trail and be back at the Tavern before the kitchen closes Smiling:-)Smiling!

Well, I guess we monitor how the West Head closures develops and decide the ride on the day.
