Heya, just wondering if anyone on here did this race last year, or is planning on doing it this year. 6 days of racing, 6 nights accomodation, 7 days of food. All for $400USD. Seems pretty awesome. Looks like it will be hot and muddy. :-) Anyone ridden at Langkawi before or know anything...

Heya, Wasn't sure if this should go in the parts section, or in XC (since it's strictly about a XC bike). Anywho, I'm in the market for a new XC dually frame. I've been riding a very light scandium hardtail for several years and am looking for something that will smooth out some of the...

Heya, as the subject says, I'm looking for somewhere to stay in Alice Springs during the MTB Enduro at the end of May. The official accommodation is booked out, and the nearby caravan park (http://www.macrange.com.au) charges $31 a night for an unpowered site! I was hoping that one of the...

Heya, I just signed up to do the Alice Springs Enduro, and also booked my flights. When I ticked the box saying I had a bike, it said I should get insurance. The suggested insurers (and all others I've looked at) only pay $500 or less for any individual item (except for cameras and laptops)...

Heya, anyone know the difference between these two? The ROCs are about 30g heavier, and slightly different in shape, but what else? The ATAC XS are more expensive. The Time website is no help - says they are both for Cyclocross, XC, and BMX. So, why do they make two different ones then...

Heya, after a lot of bagging of the organisation of the last TWP event (Coffs Marathon) I thought I'd just post to saw that the 6-hour challenge up at Canungra was really well organised. Lotsa water, first aid, marshalls, etc. Fun venue - very challenging course - seemed to consist mainly...

Heya, anyone have any advice on MTB in Japan. I'll be there next year in Feb-March, so still a bit cool I am guessing. I'm more of a XC rider than DH, but always up for some fun. I've found some footage of tracks on Mt Fuji that look good, but would love some advice from anyone who has ridden...

Heya, anyone else doing the Freedom Marathon in a couple of weeks? It's in Northern NSW near Minyon Falls/Rocky Creek Dam on Oct18th. A bunch of us from the MTB club at Southern Cross Uni are doing it. We rode some of it on the weekend - it's going to be tough. Very steep up and down...

For all you "just another Giant, just another Specialised" clones, here's something a bit different... Well, I've never seen another one out on the tracks. and here it is after the Otway Odyssey I bought the frame and forks in Malaysia several years ago and they've done me proud...

Hi, in my dazed state after finishing the Otway Odyssey I may have left my mtb shoes on the first shuttle bus heading back to Apollo Bay from Forrest. They are size 8 or 9 brown and blue/purple GAERE brand with SPD cleats and most likely covered in mud (unusual I know). I have asked rapid...

ok, so there are some great sticky threads for tyres, lights, and forks - how about one for XC wheelsets/rims/hubs? I have a Rhyno Lite on the back (XT hub) and some Araya rim on the front (LX hub). The Rhyno is very heavy so I was thinking of buying a new pair of wheels. A certain online...

Hey - just realised that everyone posts a new thread for their photos. So, here's mine. :) The photos are of all events (not just DH) http://www.flickr.com/gp/28592093@N00/X5NPv3 I can't always tell what number people are, so you'll have to have a flick through yourself and work it...

Heya, sorry if these are daft questions, but I can't seem to find answers on the national series website, or the GC MTB website. I emailed the address supplied for contacts, but haven't got a response yet, and need to make plans soon. Me and some friends who have just gotten into racing...

Heya, I have uploaded a bunch of photos of the days fun at Kooralbyn here: Kooralbyn Photos Damn it was hot... and humid. Great day though :) cya, Chris

ok, I've currently got a 12 (at least) year old LX crankset on my bike. A couple of the rings are a bit bent, so I figured it's time to upgrade the whole thing (also just got new XTR chain and cluster). So, what should I get? For the record, I'm pretty light (<60kg) and ride a very light...
