    Stromlo over Easter

    Hi dirt dad, Dynamic Motivation are great, my boys are going for two days during the second week of the holidays. They book out quickly so check what availability they have and the rules they have for kids bikes, no coaster brakes.

    Aldi 29er

    I have looked at this, and a tapered fork can’t be fitted. The head set cups in the frame are too shallow by about 5mm to fit the lower race required for a tapered fork in a straight head tube. I was gutted as my son was so keen to upgrade the fork. Cane Creek sell a headset specially designed...

    What Bike Do You Regret Selling?

    Like Tim the Clyde I regret selling a great bike for too little to fund my first dually. Bike sold was a 1993 KHS Montana comp steel hard tail, wish I’d kept it as it was such a great bike that I’d had since new. The GF Y bike that replaced it felt great at the time but wasn’t really as good.

    Anyone ridden Moab, Utah?

    Not sure what changes have happen since 1996 when I rode Moab but it was brilliant then, all I can advise is don’t miss Arches National Park which is just out town to the north east or Cayonlands which is just out of town to the north west. Take a good camera you will not regret it, all the...

    Thredbo New All Mountain Trail

    Thinking of taking my 12year down to Thredbo for his birthday is the All Mountain track really hard or can it be ridden by less experienced riders at slower pace. Don’t care how long it takes to get down just want give him different experience from Stromlo. Thoughts?

    Rotorburn strava

    Joined up, I enjoy Strava for the ride info it gives me and the bragging rights back to my mates in Sydney who don’t have the same access to trails we have in Canberra. My wife likes the beacon function as I ride a lot by myself. I’ll be at Stromlo tonight to start my activity off

    Official Old Mans Valley MTB Park - Hornsby

    At the track work last weekend they were hoping that the full 7km will be open in a months time. The only downside is the fire road up to quarry road will still be closed. There will be a new entrance up by the pool and all the trails under the pool will be open, from there you will be able to...

    Cycling event suggestions please

    Thanks for those suggestions, I had no idea about the Fitz challenge. That might be one for next year. Serious bike rides have been put on hold as we're renovating to sell up here in Sydney and move to Canberra so I have even less free time for training.

    Cycling event suggestions please

    My thoughts so far are Fling 100 mile would be a big push but more fun and cheaper than the solo 24 and I get free accomodation in a house in Bundanoon. I've done the Fling twice so I know what I'd be in for I think........ The Kowalski will definitely be the most fun Might do the Kow as...

    Giant warranty claim options

    The bike shop said it was Giant charging the transfer fee, and when I called giant they would neither confirm nor deny it. The 2017 carbon frames have similar issues to the older models. At least Giant have redesigned the top tube seat tube joint so hopefully this one won't fail where my...

    Giant warranty claim options

    Giant sort of came to the party. I have a 2017 Anthem 2 in the garage. Apart from it being a bit too heavy I'm happy to have got a brand new bike with dropper post, 1x11 and boost spacing. Not happy I had to pay a transfer fee just because Giant don't have my frame anymore. Unfortunately I don't...
