    What rings for dual 10 sp?

    I'm on a 36/28 and a 11-34 on my remedy and am riding everything I care too. I don't care to go any faster than the 36/11 can take me and I figure if I can't ride it with a 28/34 I don't want to ride it anyway!

    Rotorua Group Accomodation

    I can vouch for thermal Holiday park. they have a wide range of accommodation options. It is only the log cabins that don't have linen from memory. they have outdoor thermal hot pools, and are right at the trail head basically. Alternatively lok on Trademe for holiday house rental.

    Clipless Shoe Types

    I have had a pair of shoes with a rigid sole for a year now, before that I always had softer SPD shoes. There are two main things that I have noticed that are different: 1. the rigid shoes are more comfortable on the bike, no hot spot around the cleat area. 2. they are not great off the bike...

    WANTED: Accident Insurance Horror stories

    Great story, thanks man. Sounds like that was a really good result. and a good reason to have private health insurance! I did mine 14 years ago at Nationals in Canberra, although I didn't have any insurance - couldn't afford to pin it and still have trouble sleeping on it! Come on...

    Riding Rotorua

    On the accommodation front, I would recommend a place called Thermal Holiday Park they have cabins so you can cook cheap meals and stuff. The best thing is that it is literally a 5 minute ride to the main carpark at the gate. I have stayed there heaps of times and can safely say that it is a...

    [VIC] Buxton trails temporary closure

    We just rode there today and I can safely say two things. First there were a massive amount of trees down but they have been cleared, and two, all the trails are rideable and dry!! Oh, and pretty fun too- damn that's three. There were two or three trees still across the trail in places but...

    Triple R Mountain bike ride in Castlemaine

    Hmm, don't know anything about the ride you speak of, but I do know that there will be around 4000 Great Vic riders there on Sunday- it's the last day of the ride from Swan Hill. The place will be a zoo with stacks of coaches and thousands of cars picking people up. Fun times!

    channel 9 news

    that's legal. Riding two abreast is also legal, and actually in congested areas is the safest way to ride on the road. Further to this I know that the law states that bicycles must ride to the left, funny one that. Supposedly this is to allow other vehicles to pass, reinforcing in law on of...
