  1. Gong Ride Bus Transport back to Sydney

    I am contemplating the Sydney-Wollongong ride this year, on Sunday 7th November. Has anyone used the bus transport to get their bike back from Wollongong to Sydney? I have looked it up, but they seem to have issues with how the bikes are secured for the transport. By that I mean getting...

  5. Ultegra Rear Derailleur Question - Drops Chain Backpedalling

    Hi, I just fitted a new Ultegra short cage rear derailleur to my roadie, which has a 1x9 setup with an Ultegra 12-27 cassette, Ultegra chain and flat bar shifter. The shifting is nice and crisp up and down the cassette; however, when you spin the pedals backwards in 1st the chain comes off the...

  9. BigRing Climbing - Training advice

    I'm hoping the roadies here might let me in on some of their training voodoo. As it's warming up I have started my training for this summer and an old chestnut has come back to haunt me. Big Ring climbing. I'm at the stage where I can punch out 100kms on the tarmac, still feel like there's...

  13. Track Cranks

    Having just purchased a track frame, i now need some cranks. The old owner of the frame had a set of Redline BMX cranks in the bike and it was running 110 bcd. He did this because he could buy cheap chain rings ($40 instead of $140 for 130 bcd). I can find the cranks but and having trouble...
