    Continental GP4000SII WET weather grip

    I've been more than happy with my GP4000SIIs in the wet - within reason.

    Haha, one of only 4 to finish from the 18 starters, and he just says "Done". :dance::dance: Understatement! Congratulations J!

    Ebola - The End of the World?

    Back on topic: "Ebola - The End of the World?" To which the answer is "of course not, it's just that some things are tragic and suck and this is one of them". Be good if our nutjob politicians didn't make things worse though, as they seem determined to do. (Katter most obviously, but...

    Did you miss the community consultation/s held earlier? :deadhorse:

    Bruce Ridge ACT

    Use sarcasm all you want, but you actually were referring to volunteers. The original context is linked there, I just snipped it down. The consultation efforts have been detailed here and elsewhere. The land use priority has been made clear here and elsewhere.

    Bruce Ridge ACT

    Someone above when referring to the trail building volunteers: Quoted as an encouragement to have a bloody good hard look at yourself. Join the volunteer activities, work up a sweat, put some thought in to the design, compromise, do the background paperwork that they no doubt need to do...

    Majura Pines Trail Building Thread

    Sound great :) Ooh the plan has been done - I wonder, it sounds like the Master Plan might contain a planned trail layout or similar? If so, is this plan available on the Internet?

    Bruce Ridge ACT

    FoBR's work* is tops. Bruce Ridge is tops. I think they're both tops. :cheer2: * actually volunteering p.s. Re. the supposed lack of discussing works - maybe go to a trail maintenance event and actually discuss, chat, & learn then. There have been many opportunities... If you haven't gotten...

    Trek 2013 Superfly 100 - anyone got experience with these?

    I've had my Superfly 100 SL Elite for about a month. Carbon, so comparing apples and oranges to the alloy maybe (or maybe not?). Coming off an Anthem X 29er, the SF100 is a lot "tighter" feeling. Turns, pops over obstacles, rails, and flicks across the trail to avoid rocks very easily...

    Rude Riders

    It's nothing to do with Strava. There have always been, continue to be, and will always be, cocks.

    LIGHTS MEGATHREAD - all questions on riding lights asked and answered here!!!

    I'm very happy with my Magicshine MJ-880 U2's - one for the bars, one for the helmet. Been flawless. Build quality is equal to my 2009 Ayups as far as I can tell. The light output is overkill really - I run them on 3/5 or 4/5 most of the time. Battery then lasts yonks. They were flawless in...

    Mogo XC trails. Anybody know what state they are in?

    Thanks for the update, was asking someone about this the other day and we had no idea :)

    You know you're a cyclist when...

    You realise that your ITB is real, has been ignored for a long time, and is out exact sweet revenge.

    Sponsorship and it's influence on you

    Sponsorship is just advertising and, like with all advertising, most of us like to think we're fairly impervious. It's the subconscious effect that makes advertising so powerful.

    Roadworks - Obeying speed limits through active worksites

    Wtf has the old rego chestnut got to do with this? Now't. Anyway back on topic: driving through roadworks at the right speed is a no brainer, and if it's an active site then anyone hooning through it or abusing the workers needs their head read and a flashing blue light in the mirror to wake...

    JetBlack 24 Hour Sydney 2012

    Doesn't seem that long ago! Whatever happens, remember it's not as bad as it was the other year, and we all kept riding. And then kept jumping in the river. So you can just... oh, wait ;)

    Newbie speedo question.

    As they said - it'll be fine. On the down side, if the speed sensor magnet does get moved slightly such that it is no longer close enough to register, then your 500 will say your speed is Zero, even though it's a GPS and can tell your speed anyway. Then it will keep saying zero speed, and...

    Mount Stromlo Descent

    Hmm not sure that's fair... Sure the conditions change, and rocks, ruts and braking bumps might come and go, but that's part of it. Stromlo as a whole is getting more maintenance these days than you can poke a stick at. Anyway to each their own.
