Adamo seats?
Anyone tried one of those Adamo seats for MTB riding?
Making the Leonardi Racing Kit General Lee 11/40 SRAM cassette kit shift properly!
For my previous comments on the General Lee (GL) adapter see - http://perthmtb.asn.au/node/43354
After much adjusting, tinkering, swearing, cursing and using objectionable language, I've finally fixed the shifting of the GL adapter to be close to my SRAM and XT systems. Initially I could get the system to shift to a higher gear (smaller sprocket) but hang changing to a lower gear (to larger sprocket) or shift to a lower gear ok, but hang shifting to a higher gear (to a smaller sprocket). I've now got it shifting both ways with no hangups.
Overseas helmets
We at at Mt Buller doing a National Round and yesterday in the cross country the officials checked my helmet twice for the Australian compliance sticker (in practice and on the finish line). So don't bring your overseas helmet! Downhill today so it will be interesting to see if they check there.
Withdrawn: airline bike box
I have a Qantas bike box. It is cardboard and in good condition except for a little bit of the lid flap is missing but it will not effect the use of it. If you want it you will have to pick it up from Bayswater and you will need a wagon, ute or similar to transport it. PM me if you want it.

Sticky Piston
Folks,
I have recently had probs with a piston in a set of Juicy 5's that wont fully retract...
I bleed some fluid to help increase the gap, and always ensure (yeh, right) that I remove the pad prior to applying anything.
Just wondering what people use for lubrication??
I used a little bit of silicon spray in a syringe just around the pistons, which helped, but I am worried that it may attract dust (I am in the NW)
Ideas??
Ps. And no I will not be buying a set of brakes from other reputable brands in the interim, so don't type it!

Hot weather and hydraulic brakes!!
Made the mistake of leaving my bike out in the sun (40c here) for awhile. Came to get on it and the front brake was really dragging and unridable. Worked out the heat had either expanded the oil in the system, and/or other parts of the system. Put it in the shade and once it cooled down everything was normal.
Moral: dont park bike in direct sun when its hot.
FWIW.
