I broke a pivot bolt on my bike and my bike shop replaced it for me (yay thanks) but now I would like a spare to keep in my kit just in case. If anyone has the one located at the bottom of the rear triange near the rear wheel axle to suit a Scott Genius 2016 that would be great. (see pic) If...

Awesome, thanks so much everyone for that input, some very useful tips there, the supermarket tip will save us some unanticipated hassle, will look into Lake Mountain trails also as that is more on the way back to Melb than other trails we looked at. Checking Banjo's accom now.....and thanks for...

Hmmmm, 60 views zero replies, input such as "yep that accommodation is ok" or "yeah 3 days riding at Buller is not too long" would be helpful :) Does anyone know if a fullface and padding are required as mandatory for riding Kingsporn? if so can you hire them locally?

Hi all, my wife and I are planning on coming over on the ferry from Tassie with our car and MTB's to ride Forrest and Mt Buller in Feb / March looking for input on our plan before we book accom etc. We were going to race Bike Buller, but it clashed with a local race we want to do, so we are...

Plenty left to sit on :D but yeah neither myself or my support want to go through that again. If I did do it I would need to be more careful and in a World Titles I might still push too hard. Not going to decide anything yet, will focus on summer racing coming up. Sent from my MB526 using...

Thanks Le Matelot for your detailed answers, I am considering entering. I have completed two 24hr races, the second qualified me to race elite in 2010 Worlds but also gained me an injury that put me in hospital for surgery removing necrotic tissue, then months off the bike plus rebuild time so I...

So from reading the links I assume that the 24hrs of adrenaline World titles will be not be run anytime in the future and the next WEMBO will become the official 24hr World titles in Oct 2013. Is this correct? will the WEMBO event be recognized as being the official world titles? I'm...

I can't ride MtBuller for free anytime as I live in Tas, we also have some awesome trails here that we can ride for free anytime, and I do, but I enter the Blue Dragon and Wildside and pay to race those trails and have a fun competitive social time :) Thanks Rapid Ascent for the reply above...

Cheers, found the tiny contact link at the bottom of page and sent an email question. Will post answer for anyone else who may be interested.

I have booked holidays for the race, and I will soon need to book the boat as we will be bringing our car over and the boat books out ages in advance. The Bike Buller website hasn't been updated with the 2013 details so I'm a bit cautious about booking. I assume the race will be the same weekend...

Thanks for the replies everyone. A few positives and negatives but overall seems worthwhile. I need to commit well in advance. Book holidays from work, boat from TAS and early entry as I want to do the whole event. I will read the cancellation policy and consider getting travel insurance as the...

I'm considering doing this race in 2013 Do you think it lives up to the hype? What was your race experience like? Any tips welcome :) Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2

I must be the only person watching this thread and waiting for the "SOLO Quota filled" announcement. I'm recovering from my injury well, back to work, but fitness and muscle??......much work to do. Oh well, I will ride again sometime soon with my son for fun :) Until the entries are...

Endurance race health warning ! I recently raced in a qualifier for the World 24hr solo and ended up suffering an unusual health problem that I had not heard of or considered. I'm posting here, and also post at MTBR. This is so people can be informed and perhaps consider during races, or any...
