I've walked the Overland 4 times, once in 5 days, once in 6, once in 7 and once over 10 days (with a lot of photography).
The 5 day walk was the only one done in summer (all others in the middle of winter), and it snowed and rained 4 of the 5 days. The other day was well over 30...
I have ridden a 100mm XC bike, 100mm DJ bike (with gears) and an NS Clash (130mm forks, 26') and I could hit everything around Kalamunda on the Clash. I'd honestly look at the Honzo if I was living back in Perth. It would be a heap of fun around there and I wouldn't hesitate taking it to the...
https://www.bicycles.net.au/directory/sram-australia/ They answer the phone and I spoke to a guy that gave me the magic words to get my Reverb working after a lengthy period of storage.
I'd just call some LBS' first, they may have the bits you need.
My LBS is the Derwent Park store. I grab quite a few bits and pieces of him because he will cut lengths of hoses I need and the like. He also mentioned he can't get bikes in stock, and therefore has a very sparse floor. He mentioned he makes his money from servicing bikes. Being just off the...
I rode my Tallboy LT with an 11-42 cassette and almost never used the 42 around Kalamunda. I actually think while I was fit I didn't use the 42 at all... You are on a hardtail with a rear tyre that isn't too draggy, you'll be right for the time being.
I paid for it and use it every second ride or so. I have also used it to recon race routes and used it for some day walks.
I don't normally pay for things like this, but it has proven to be useful on multiple occasions, so am happy to pay for it. I see it being used a lot again when I do my...
I mostly rode around the Camel Farm and ran a DHF/Ardent on my Tallboy LT and a Hans Dampf front and Rock Razor/HR2 on the rear of my NS Clash hardtail. I'm back in Tassie and ran a HD/NN combo on my hardtail for a while, and I think a NN would work well in Perth for summer and winter.

I have Bolle Safety Glasses which Bunnings no longer seem to sell. They cost all of $10 if memory...
So it looks like I own Spitfire's :p. They are still in great shape, but I literally have worn through the sole in both shoes. I'd love to be find something roughly equivalent that could work as "work casual" shoe when needed.
