With swirling winds and fires you'd be silly to go into out parks or reserves just at the moment

Hubs: an unpaid endorsment
OK, Hubs a little unglamorous but pretty important. A few brands seem to get all the rave reviews but as I was doing some maintenance after the week end it struck me just how good mine were.
This is a Hadley DHS XL 150. I first built it into a wheel in 2005 on my Cove Peeler. Cost a fortune at the time but they were a hub I'd always wanted to try.
It's had a few rim replacement, been on another 2 frames (Norco A Atomkic and now the M6) and hasn't had one single bit of maintenance.
Zip, nil, nothing, Not a drop off oil, a bit of grease or even a pull down to clean.

"Was it smart? Probably not. Was it badass as all hell? Damn straight!" said a comment on the reader section of CBC's website.

Birthday ride
So, I've had my old DH frame kicking around for ages. Put it up for sale once or twice with no interest. So it's been just cluttering up my shed and as the young bloke has been getting more and more into riding and smashing rims and what not on the DH trails on his xc bike it's been in the back of my mind to build it up for him.
Going through some of the bits and pieces I had left over from the shop I realised I had most of the things it needed on hand.

Berms are boring, adventure is where its at
A lot of places could make a claim as being the Mountain Biking mecca of Australia.
Canberra, Newcastle, Cairnes... all have vibrant riding scenes and classic trails, The alpine regions have the epic back country rides and chairlifted DH. Over west trails like Munda Biddi stretch on for kilometer after kilometer after kilometer after kilometer...
But for quality, abundance and variety I still think it's hard to go past my neck of the woods. From groomed XC trails, Gnarly DH, classic All Mountain runs and remote adventure riding, we've got it all.
