I got a Velox Tubeless Repair Kit, and patched a tyre with a 2 cm cut caused by a stick going through my rear tyre. The patches don't flex like normal patches for tubes, so no bulge occurs. So far so good.

So, are you bringing it out to the Billabong in a couple of weeks???

Hot english mustard, lots of it. Add chilli powder.

The course is on a riverine floodplain consisting of predominately grey cracking clays. The terrain is relatively flat, however, the course is set up on mostly single track that is quite tight and twisty, and undulates through a series of dry creek beds and up and down a red loamy terrace on...

I've got a third kid on the way so I would not rely on riding for contraception.

A close mate of mine rolled his mum's 120Y - 120m uphill in a paddock after it left the road just out of town in a 60 zone. He still drove it home too.

I was on my second bottle of plonk and after seeing that, i think I will have to go to bed, I'm either too drunk and can't see straight (fuck its wobbly) or i need to get a load off. I'm not really sure. It would be interesting to ride on the dirt roads I though.

I have snapped a tooth off the 14t cog 4 years ago on a cassette that was only a couple of months old. Took it into the LBS and they replaced the entire cassette no questions asked.

Very niiiiice! I bet it rails real good. Interested to know how the tyres perform too.

I use Schwalbe Smart Sam for commuting about 60km a day on a combination of roads and singletracks and also XC racing. Suitable for all road and off-road conditions, smooth fast rolling and reliable knobby tyre, mine are fairly heavy (800g each) for 2.25" wire beads. The foldable version are a...

Your thinking is pretty much spot on, Cat. As an Environmental Scientist, my experience tells me that the chances of finding a snake on a stinking hot day are low, unless you are out and about in the morning or around dusk. There is a higher chance if there is a food source around, such as...

I've had no problems running that configuration.

She looks fit
