Harrington Park trail
Anyone know who maintains the trail in the *edit: to remove location details* - I came across it a few weeks ago and really enjoy riding it. It is well maintained and I noticed a lot of work since the heavy rains recently (berms have been reprofiled, creek crossings have been corded). If I can find out who is looking after it I wouldn't mind giving a hand at times. Thanks Andrew.

SRAM x9 rear derailleur good replacement for sx5???
Hi All,
Just getting into MTB after long absence.
Sons bike(casual rider) has sx5 rear derailleur which around the lower pulley is worn and bent. Over due for replacement.
After some research was considering the X9 as only a few more $$ than x5.
actuation same 1:1
thumb operated shifters are X7
8 speed cassette
3 speed crank
no experience with SRAM but happy to stick with it for now?
So X9 and maybe medium cage for better shifting or are other/better alternatives available?Note: family guy - like quality but low budget
Your opinions would be helpful
thanks
Dave

Bike suggestion
I am trying to get my husband into riding. I have a road and MTB and thinking of getting something that might suit both road and off road.
The trails we would do will be no harder than say Terrey Hills (Perimeter and Long). The purpose is for fitness.
Not wanting to spend a great deal either, say around $800.00. Any suggestions of a bike that may be suitable for both without breaking the bank? (My MTB is an Avanti 29inch hardtail, so I think a 29 inch also would be best).
[Mod. moved to MTB gear... you can ride any bike on road, but not necessarily off]

Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
