    Port Macquarie

    Hi Guys, Next weekend I have the most part of a day free in the Port area to do whatever I choose. Can anyone suggest an XC ride in the order of 50+ k's? I'm not really concerned if there is minimal/nil single track content. I'll be happy enough if someone could point me to a ride on...

    Shimano 2x10 Crankset, 26/38 or similar

    Item: Shimano 2x10 Crankset, 26/38 or similar Location: I'm in Newcastle but happy to cover postage Price range/Willing to Pay: I'll consider all offers but anything more than $100-120 for XT would need to have very little use (ie I can buy new for $180). If it's XTR then make me an offer...

    Fox Fork Spares

    Hi All, Due to neglect my F29 is in pretty bad shape. Given the cost and timing it looks like a new fork is my best option. Longer term though I would like to reco the fork and then I can rotate the two forks during maintenance. For some reason I thought of fork servicing as a bit of a...

    Can someone explain this HRM stuff?

    I'm curious to know if there is a sports science type or otherwise knowledgeable person who can explain a little about some of the observations I make from my HRM. Been wondering about this for a while but haven't got around to asking. I notice this most over winter when my working hours tend...

    Made a potentially nasty mistake with tubeless conversion

    Thought I'd put this up here because I'm one of those never read the instructions types. On my roadie I'm running tubeless with Stans yellow tape/valves/sealant and the Hutchinson tubeless tyres. It has worked great for 9 months or so. Anyway, the other night I heard a big whoosh come from...

    Want to sample some different gels/bars etc but where to buy?

    Haven't had this thread for about a year so I thought it was time for a rehash... I'm pretty keen on Clif bars after going through a few boxes. Prices from Wiggle and CRC are great but their range is limited and there is a world of other Clif flavours out there I'm keen to sample. Choc...

    Lefty. Crazy idea?

    Disregarding cost effectiveness what are people's thoughts on this? For some reason I'm attracted to it just because of the 'very unusual' factor. http://www.project321.com/products_bike.php

    Yesterdays Epic

    Yesterday a couple of guys and I did a pretty good ride so I thought I'd post it up here. We've done the Old Great North Rd a couple of times before and were starting to look for something a little longer. Usually we arrange a shuttle to take us back to the start but this time we decided to...

    Camelbak Flow Meter - Anyone Tried It?

    Saw this on CRC and thought it might be useful, if it works? http://www.camelbak.com/sports-recreation/accessories/flowmeter.aspx I reckon it's a bit of a challenge to make something like this perform accurately enough to be useful. Anyone tried it?

    I'm having some trouble finding some winter gloves that take my fancy. In a week and a bit I'll be doing a ride that could potentially be quite chilly (ie low single digits when we start) so I'm looking for a more winter oriented XC glove. At the moment I am using TLD XC gloves and they...

    Weight Training and Cycling

    In my browsing of stuff I came across the following article and thought I'd throw it up here for some opinions. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/issa21.htm After a long day of riding I'll admit to feeling fatigued through the shoulders and arms. Also since I'm pretty much confined indoors...

    Riding in Dubbo

    Hi Guys, I've got a couple of nights in Dubbo and wondering if there is any local XC or fire trails etc that I can roll around on for a bit of a post work ride. Probably can't travel too far from town as I'm likely only going to have 0.5-1hr before it starts getting dark. Any...

    DIY Assembly Stand

    I've got to a few weeks to wait for my wheels to turn up and couldn't stand staring at a box full of bits any more, so I built myself a little assembly stand. In true DIY fashion it's mostly made of scrap. Total cost was about $20. Pics with the latest project on it.
