    After reading this thread, I kinda want to have your babies. Ummm... awkward moment.

    Ourimbah race day 6-3-2011

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/56919786@N06/ I've got like 300 photos and flicker only shows the last 200 uploaded. UPDATED - the flickr people are useless, so I just created a whole new account and uploaded them again. There are still some which will overlap with the first set...

    quick release pedals?

    One of the main reasons I don't ride a bike to most places is the fear of getting it stolen. So I've been thinking of the best way to lock my bike. One thing I just thought of, but haven't been able to find online, is a quick release pedal. Pedals which you can actually remove and carry around...

    Camelbak Flow Meter - Anyone Tried It?

    Seems like a bit of a gimmick. If you want to know how much water you drank, buy a $5 set of kitchen scales and weight the thing before and after.

    How to stop front wheel sliding out?

    DH inner tubes - do we really need them?

    I run 1.9 kenda tubes in my 2.5 minions. Maybe its just me, but I get no more flats than I do if I run bigger DH tubes.
