I got onto them pretty easily on (03) 9212 6100 a little while ago.

Your local Sram dealer is who they told me to speak with.
Zero relationships with any LBS so could be hard but I’ll try not to be a jerk and give it a go. Cheers

Turns out the lower headset cup bit had split and was loose on the fork steerer. Headset felt tight but obviously had just enough play in it to cause the shudder.
Stuff knows how that happened, it's been on there for 5 years now

Do you think it will be worth while putting up a reminder post on the local area Farcebook page about young kids riding moto in a conservation park where it's not allowed ?
It started by them riding on the fire roads but now they've found the MTB and walking trails, I'm a bit worried that they'll go out there and rip them apart even more. I have reported them to the local council and they do take it half serious here but trying to catch the little buggers is another story. I'm more than happy seeing them ride on the fire roads but on the MTB trails for obvious reasons, not so much.

Don't waste your time man. Just set up a heap of booby traps and catch them!

I thought that deep inside it will be a waste of my time. I've already rolled some large boulders where they've straight lined the trail because the turn was too sharp for moto. If you get caught up here twice on crown land for unregistered and unlicensed they can impound the bike.

Anyone else having trouble logging on at torpedo7?
So i've decided that instead of waiting for a huon pine shortage and selling my two small pieces I will instead use them to make a small and funnily shaped coffee table.
I"m just kinda wondering how you protect it against heat, uv rays, food stains and etc or is it just a case of wacking some legs on her and using it?
I would assume you would have to give it a good clean, lightly sand it than apply some sort of oil/water based seal than put another layer of stuff on it to act as a film or something for easier cleaning?
The legs are the easy part for me, it's just the process of what, if anything I put on it to protect it.

Two pack resin. Brilliant stuff.
Would I still need to sand and apply a seal to the wood than apply that over the top?
Varies. The one I have used needs wood prep and tgen the resin over the top. It goes very liquid before it goes off so you need to ensure the top is level. One of mine I put barge boards around the edge and filled the top to about 3mm depth that filled a few cracks (old piece od Oregon scaffold plank) and then sand to a polish. Beautiful.

If you mean epoxy, nah he said U.V. That's something no epoxy can handle and polyesters aren't much better. He needs an old fashioned varnish or shellac.
True but some are fine. Pick your product.
i'm not really sure what to use tbh lol. I'm a little bit lost.
part of me says to give it a nice little sand and clean then apply some sealer than do the resin stuff to give it a nice polished look but i don't know.
First piece is gonna be the test one and that's one i'll use for myself, second one I might sell.

I believe they are classed as a softwood but plenty of people don't do that with them and they are also are a quite dense tree.. I mean, there's huon pine chopping boards but adding a tempered class top would just add to the expense and imo over complicate it.
