Urgent - anyone with a 31.6mm post in North Sydney/Lower Mountains
Heya all,
A strange request, I know. But does anyone in Sydney's lower north shore have a 31.6mm post I can borrow, 350mm or longer?
Picked up a demo bike (Remedy 9) today for the weekend, but the bloody seat post is only 225mm long! Just a bit sorry for actual trail riding, as I don't feel like standing the while ride
Meant to be heading to the Mundee tomorrow at 8:30, and the shop doesn't open until 9!
Definitely a 6 pack involved if anyone is able!
And Aussie Businesses wonder why we shop online?
Here is a quality example of why LBS dont get my money for ordering of parts at times.
The dust cap my RP23 has seized solid on to the Valve stem and no amount of spraying with WD40 and soaking it has managed to get the bloody thing removed. So I went up to my LBS and asked them to investigate how much a replacement valve stem would be, thinking easy part, should be no more than $20. Wrong, the distributor wants $60 for the replacement stem.
Blood & Sweat - The Queen of Pain
Here's an interesting interview by an internet pal of mine based in Melbourne. I like that the subject of the interview has more going on between the ears than most pro athletes
Guys, be warned, no punches are pulled on some of the issues faced by female endurance athletes ...

New Zealand South Island - bike hire
hi,
heading over to new zealand (south island) for a week with the family. so far i have negotiated one whole day(!) for mountain biking.
was wondering where to make best use of this generously allocated quality time so basically looking for an awesome trail experience on a decent hired bike (if there is such a thing). i've heard good things about the queens town region but any info would be much appreciated.
thanks

New Guy - Hi - Sutherland Shire?
Hi All
Been looking around at some of the numerous MTB clubs/MTB sites on the internet and NoBMoB really appears to be a step above (no disrespect to other clubs/associations - just my high level view), especially in terms of inviting new members on board.
Thredbo?
Thinking of a visit to Thredbo this summer. I know they have a downhill course but I'm more of a XC rider. Are there any XC tracks as well in the area? (I like riding uphill as well as down)
Is the downhill track OK for a normal 5inch duallie bike or do I need to rent proper a proper DH rig to do it?
Advice for taking my bike to NZ with Qantas
I'm sure this has been spoken about a million times but Qantas keep changing their policies.
Has anyone taken their bike to NZ on Qantas in the last 6 months? If you have, what's the procedure?
Tire choice
I have recently purchased my first dual suspension bike, however over he last 2 months I have worn down the back tire significantly. I do the majority of my riding around Manly dam and have noticed the grip that I am getting with the Rocket Rons is deteriorating along with the tread at a rapid rate.
Is this a more a problem with my riding technique or would I be better to go with a more durable tire. Can anyone suggest a better tire? I am thinking that nobby nics may be an option not that i need to stay with schwalbe.
Thanks in advance

Post Fling Blues?
Anyone else suffering from Post Fling Blues?. What a awesome event.
That big green climb at the 100km mark was a killer... I wondered if anyone has a photo looking up at that big green hill, as would be a good training motivator for next year.
Im guessing the next big one will be James Williamson March 11th, then the Mont 24
Cheers
