Something no one has EVER done before in Australia! (video)
Thought I'd give the WA MTB community a small taste and teaser of what off road hand cycling is going to look like. Coming to a trail near you!
For those who haven't heard already, I am raising money for Wheelchair Sports WA to purchase a new handcycle which will give people with physical disabilities equal opportunities to ride off-road as everyone else. Flyer attached.

Bike Cases/Bags Big Bikes
Hi All,
I am looking for some feedback from people who use Bike Boxes/Bags for transporting their bikes, particularly by air. I'd be really keen to hear what solutions people with larger framed, full-suspension bikes have, particular 29ers. I have a Cannondale Scalpel 29er in an XL frame and am searching for a bike box/bag that I can get it into with out have to break it into its component pieces. I think I would prefer a hard/semi hard case to offer a little more protection for the bike.
Recording Routes EGDE 500
I have an Garmin Edge 500 and I was curious if it is possible to record route that I have rode, for example if I did a circuit at Forsyth Mills can the Edge record this route and then could I use the “Course” function to use this information for navigation?
Am help on this would be great. I understand you can plot routes on various web-based packages and then export them as TCX file which can be loaded on to the device. I find this a struggle with trails though as they are typically obscured by trees or it is near impossible to resolve the track.
Thanks
Steve.
Front Lights Designed Here in Perth
Hello all,
I just wanted to let people know about some cheap good quality Front lights I have found. After a month of looking for a reasonably powerful light at a good price I have found lights that are actually designed here in Perth.
The company is Son Light and they currently have 2 models, the SL2000 with a 1400 lumen output and the SL3000 with a 3000 lumen output.
I purchased 2 x SL2000 light and they work great. The lights even come with a headband which is great.
Daniel McConnell - UCI XC Round 1 World Cup
I am not an XC fan myself, but just happen to pick up the iPad and look at the Red Bull live event not long after this started last night.
For an XC event it kept me quite entertained... Wet slippery conditions caused mahem, especially for the first lap... there were stacks, and mechanical failures.... and the FIRST AUSTRALIAN WIN SINCE 2000 !!!!!!!!
RockShox Recon 351 Solo Air Forks-Lockout Issue
The lockout function on my forks no longer works.When the motion control switch is open the forks appear to have the full range of travel but when switched to the lockout setting the amount of travel remains the same.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions for a remedy to this problem? The forks are 4 years old and have had a major service approx 2 years ago.
Thanks in advance!
Chris.
