and that's excacty why I don't, won't, cant and will never participate and why I post here (and other fora) instead :). It has nothing to do with a philosophical opposition to social media. A closed shop on an open internet is anathema and those who do use it should be ashamed of enabling that...

Yeah, for those saying HT 29er (had three bikes stolen, one of them a HT 29er but that's another matter) , been there done that and found it a slog for long distances, hence the drop bars of a gravel bike . Currently on a Scott Spark 29er, 2x, with dual suspension and dual lockout at the bar)...

Thinking of getting one to ride from my place, a loop through Nerang then back home. Perhaps run a second set of road wheels/tyres for road rides specifically ? For the longest time i lived in the bush with my own MTB trail network at my door, now living in the city and have always been a fan...

Can I ask the price? and 27.5?

Ha ha, yeah, she rides home at night some time from where she "works"... anyone who has ever ridden in Cambodia knows what a crap shoot that can be" I took them off mine and she wanted them on her's :) She wanted to "standout" of course, the problem she faces is that any many many Cambodians...

Su-si-day, sox-a-bi (Hi, how are you ? in Khmer) I am in Cambodia at the moment, and have been thinking about another bike for when I get back to Aus. I am looking to get a Salsa Spearfish. An HT is out, my back would hate me (riding a 26" HT over here now and I tolerate it 'cause I...

Hi guys, we're in Camboida at the moment, more about that here We're doing some riding, pics of my girl doing some XC (highest model bike she could find here) Anyway, enough of that. Looking to get some parts for the bike and am unsure about the middle chainring ? Currently have...

Read the entire thread with interest, as I am looking for a bike for me. I thought it was a 29er MTB but that didn't fit what I wanted to really do, so I sold it, now I am thinking cyclocross bike. I have a lot of dirt 4-wd roads where I am, no bitucm until 7km from my front door. I have a...

Also remember even if you do everything "right" and yet you are sued and you win and even if and costs are awarded to you (costs are what the court thinks might be reasonable not what your legal people might charge you), you can still be out of pocket several $1000 for legal fees alone. Viva...

I too joined the exalted ranks of 29" owners, recently getting a Epic 29er. Ditched the original seat and grips, added a bottle cage, Edge GPS and AY-UP light mounts and that's about it. Unfortunately first ride out the fork shat itself completely and has had to be sent back in for...

bugger that, finally a tall bike... yes I ride a BLT 2

I went to the Bris 2 day workshop, worth it if you are a trail builder to meet with other like minded souls, to meet the king of international trail advocacy Joey Klien, Nic Bowman the new IMBA Aus director as well as to network with the multitude of land mangers. The course is broken down...

Went to the workshop, good to network with a few like minded trail builders as well as here from lots of land managers about MTB issues. IMBA's Joey Klien IMBA Aus's new director, Nic Bowman and the full roll call of reprobates at the course :D we took the chance to go ride...

I am thinking of moving onto a small farm near Grafton (about 40km towards Armidale from Grafton) and was wondering about the XC MTB in the area. Looking for single track sweetness rather than fireroad. Are there any clubs or trail networks in the area ?

The other obvious solution is to not discriminate based on sex at all, one competition only, may the best competitor win. Discrimination is looked upon with disdain but some discrimination is okay apparently ? Shades of "Animal Farm" ? :) ie we're all equal but some are more equal then...

and people are accepting of the fact that this is okay ? that the peak MTB body in Aus. offers no value to an entire state and is not involved in the steering committee for a seemingly seminal MTB plan ? I guess it's just me that thinks that entire situation is odd beyond belief :)

Is that a reflection of poor construction ie not sustainable trail or a severe lack of maintenance by the local club, or both, do you think ?

I disagree, it might agitate some into taking action to get the Council to change the law. I think their should be more enforcement of these inane laws, then people may get an understanding of the amount of this crap law we are drowning in. Riding anywhere should be legal, if you hurt...
