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...

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...

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...

Log time no post. I have moved from sunny Townsville, North Qld to the northern rivers area of NSW. Not much MTB locally (aside from south of me in Coffs) so I have decided to build my own on my place. Eventually (with permission) I woudl like to expand into the adjoining State Forest but...

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 ?

Found this old pic when sorting through some photo's my Dad (RIP) had scanned into his computer a couple years ago. Great Grandfather (my fathers side) is on the bike on the left from what I can determine, love these bars :) but really like the ones on his mates bike :) I assume they are...

To my mind, the guy has a point. http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/fellow-leisurely-riders-beware-the-hoons-on-two-wheels-20090809-ee6k.html

and other trail missives... There seems to be little if no talk about machinery used in trail construction here. I visit the MTBR forums regularly and there seems to always be threads about using various bits of machinery to build track. I know we have no IMBA equivalent in Aus...

Anyone have an opinion on what's the go for XC ? Particularly if you were building up a new XC race bike ? Speaking with one of the guys from TF Tuned Suspension in the UK, he said don't bother with the 15mm Fox setup, they still have heaps of sideways movement from the wheel anyway, a 20mm...

Townsville, NQ. Doing some good work stabilising a XC style fall line DH track with concrete and rocks http://rockwheelers.com/forum1/index.php?topic=567.msg2474#msg2474 and http://rockwheelers.com/forum1/index.php?topic=571.msg2495#msg2495 but random people have been digging (doing lots of...

Haydn had a bee in his bonnet about fixing a couple corners up on Keelback, on the local Douglas Trails. We fixed one smalls ection, made the DH line flow a little better, made the climbing line a little smoother etc... having finished that, he had an epiphany about a corner further up he wanted...

Good to see Townsville get a mention in the latest Mountain Biking Australia Magazine and a pic of one of the local riders and main track advocate, Peter (Mozzie) McLean made the front cover. Good article about the trail networks in Townsville and MTB in Townsville in general.

Well After much shaggin' about on my part, I finally had my Santa Cru z BLUR LT finished, I went in and grabbed it this afternoon, did a rushed adjustment on the bar controls, took a guess at the air pressure in the forks and shock, pumped the tyres up, adjusted the seat height, mounted the...

Here are a couple pics of the great work Peter and Gary have been doing last weekend This new trail is Phase 3. Phase 1 was constructed late last year and early this year with lots of excavator work by Gary and lots of work by volunteers. Pics here...

Tentative name is "Bandy Bandy Moo Moo Cow" :D Just started construction, the area had a fuel reduction burn conducted by the State Government a couple months ago, so it makes for some easy building Couple pics of the new track work starting here...
