    VIC The Brackenbury MTB Challenge 2015 November 22nd, Creswick Victoria

    Thanks for that recent feedback. Sorry I don't check Rotorburn that often these days. Unfortunately the clash with the rescheduled Bendigo VES may have taken away a few more of the competitive riders to our event, but our focus has always been more on riders who want to give themselves a bit of...

    VIC Great Dividing Trail ride 400kms, self supported bikepacking.

    I'm still on a little high from finishing this event, despite being pretty tired and sore, so it would be nice to share my experience for anyone interested. There were maybe 15 to 20 of us on the start line, although some with varying intentions of racing, riding, or just doing part of the...

    Hey Moorey, I've passed this on to the timing team. They had a very hectic day with more riders than what we anticipated, and manual timing can be a very complicated job, so my apologies for any inaccuracies. Was that your boy that I gave the prize to for his wheel coming off? I think Felix and...

    VIC The Brackenbury MTB Challenge 2015 November 22nd, Creswick Victoria

    My only MTB at the moment is a Salsa Fargo, a rigid drop bar off-road touring bike thingy. So I've been riding the loop on that. Fun and do-able but wouldn't recommend it if you wanted to race. Maybe thats why parts of the course feel so damn rough. A bike with some agility and a bit of cush...

    VIC The Brackenbury MTB Challenge 2015 November 22nd, Creswick Victoria

    Is this the most coveted, or most dangerous trophy in the history of MTB?

    VIC The Brackenbury MTB Challenge 2015 November 22nd, Creswick Victoria

    Course map and profile up here. Much of the loop is similar to the last two years course, however this year we have reversed the direction! Due to logging there is no more Russel's Colon, no more FCG and no more Turner Burner. Instead, we have Turner Burner 2 - 'Son of Turner Burner' which is...

    Back again for its fifth year, The Brackenbury Mountain Bike Challenge run in Creswick is set for a new date in November, but promises to have the same grass roots, low-key vibe and family friendly atmosphere that it has become known for. Racing will be on a 25km loop of varied terrain suitable...

    2015 XCM Marathon Champs - Derby Tasmania

    At the risk of starting yet another tyre choice discussion, just wondering as some of this track is fairly new and there has been a bit of rain of late, what kind of surface conditions can we expect?

    DT Swiss Tricon XM1550 wheels. Where to get spokes???

    Amazing response from what I thought was going to be a hopeless situation, so thank you everyone for your offers. Since I've put the feelers out I've now got 3 LBS's looking into it with one of them saying one of their suppliers has a few laying around. Just confirming if they have the sizes I...

    DT Swiss Tricon XM1550 wheels. Where to get spokes???

    Just putting a plea out there in the hope of being able to source some rather unique spokes for these wheels. They are straight pull, double-threaded, bladed and white. There are also 4 different lengths for each wheel. Apparently you can only buy complete wheel rebuild kits (expensive) and not...
