    which bike to take to rotarua?

    Was there November last year with my son (instead of schoolies!) I had my SC Superlight and he had his ASR5...just magic. Both bikes went well and did everything. Then spent a couple of days in Queenstown - different but just as good (Coronet Peak!) As previous post said NZ is just fantastic and...

    Rear tyre recommendation

    Has Dampf on the front - had a crossmark UST on the back for quite a while - needed a quick replacement and had a (tubeless) rocket ron spare - works great!

    BIKE RACKS AND CARRIERS FOR CARS MEGATHREAD - all questions asked and answered here

    Second this - if not issued by RTA in your state/territory (i.e. you didn't pay the government for it) then it's NOT legal...I know of a father taking his young son and bike to Thredbo and paying a massive (several hundred dollars) fine when stopped by NSW police.
