Folks, There are some great threads in here, particular on gear choices/faqs/reviews and if they were all stickied, nothing would ever get on the front page, so I'm starting a round up thread that still lets us get our questions answered or thoughts expressed nice and quickly. Start by doing...
with all this hoo haa regarding the race on the weekend Should we have a sticky on rider ettiquete? I. i.e passing, calling track, number of riders. When I passed a few riders on course I did tell them that there were more behind me.
It has just been announced they are looking into hosting the World 24hr solo here in Australia. I would love to enter (Dream on) but as a shift working, family man, in isolated Tassie I'm thinking getting to a qualifying event and then the race will mean two expensive trips with support and...

Tour de Timor next week and I was going to use a 2.2 Race King or 2.25 Racing Ralph rear, 2.25 Ralph front. The first day is mainly bitumen but the weather lately (and forecast) is for rain and more rain, and the route goes through some big clay hills which will be quite muddy for the following...
Hi anybody know where the trails are at Bathurst, there for a couple of days soon and would like to take the steed, xc preferred
When is it too wet? I`ve started this thread to get a bit of a debate going on when or if a race should be cancelled or stopped due to inclement weather. Last weekend the Chase The Sun series (round3) was held at Lysterfield Park in very wet conditions. Other recent races such as the Capital...
This is to be my first 24 hour race. I have never even been to a 24 hour race before. But I may get up to the worlds for a look. I am in terrible shape at the moment, but I figured this would be a great motivator. So what are the little things that first timers will not know about? What have I...
Driving past this on the freeway on the weekend and could see what looked like fresh single track cut in.. I read that this was scheduled for completion mid year... nice to see its becoming a reality. !!
Hi all, due to the horrible forecast and the fact that the trails are all lovingly handcarved from a single chunk of dry schlerophyll forest, the carvers have decided they would rather preserve their artistry for future generations of Central West adventurers rather than sacrifice it on the...

Hi, I just wanted to bring this new race to your attention. I 've riden the Back Yamma State Forest a fair bit and can say the single tracks really are fun. The state forest only has a few small hills so the tracks a fast and flowing. Hope to see you out there. Cheers, Chris
Seems a long way off, but entries are open and if you are going to do it got to get in early accommodation wise - apart from the training required! Sort of don't like the hills where you have to walk (well I did last time)! on the other hand the rest of the course is great. Saturday,...

Using two Selle Italia Gel flow SLR's, one Selle Italia Something(model badge fell off), and a new Prologo Scratch TS (Naga) something or other, which has been perfect for 300k's now on the new bike. Hard and light saddles can be very comfy sometimes. I am quite narrow in the hips, and quite...
