Sram XX chainring bolts?
Hi, just wondering if any of you shop Dudes have a set of Sram XX chain ring bolts (IN STOCK!)
i'd like to build my bike back up but am too impatient to wait for an order to arrive!
For everyone elses info, XX rings bolt directly into a thread on the crank spider and dont come in two peices(front and back) like normal chain ring bolts.

Long Trail Hill - best line?
Place : The last big hill before the loop end of long trail - I have only managed to ride this a few times without putting a foot down. It is so loose I just can't seem to get any traction. The times that I have made it in the past I first head right and then traverse left on the first steep part. After that I can make it. Now I try this line all the time, but still have low percentage of success. Maybe my Crossmarks are just too worn - how are you guys going with it?

The homepage doesn't say much, but the title, "Cycling around the world" gives a hint of what is to come:

bandy bandy
I know its not really bike related, but I saw another one of these on a ride at Terrey Hills.
I almost rode clean over it and when I did pull up next to it it didn't even flutter.....until I touched it!!!
It then started to move in a wave motion which looked amazing.
I also saw heaps of ghekkos, a scorpion!!!! and big ass grass hoppers everywhere.
Proposed iPod ban on cyclists

Must admit when I see riders listening to their iPods it makes me shudder. Personally I like to hear what's going on around me.
Is Tathra the best holiday mtb destination?
I guess we are talking about the best destination that won't generate suspicion in the family that riding is the only reason you are there! Yes there are other better pure mtb places but for a family holiday or holiday with a partner is there any better NSW summer destination?:
Tathra is a great little town on the south coast with great beaches. The far south coast has the lowest rainfal of the NSW coast so a good chance of being dry.

Cycling in the News?
Sorry if this is vaguely related to road riding, but it's also a comment on the media and what interest (or lack there of) they have in cycling.
This weeks TDU (Tour Down Under) has seen a number of Aussie youngsters shine at what is a Pro Tour event. There were surely a number of incredible talents on show this week that we'll see much more of in the future.
To set the scene, 5 of the top 10 finishers were Aussie, with our guys placing first, second, fourth, ninth and tenth.
