New event among some great trails (my old home town) - woohoo! http://www.blackheartevents.com.au/port-mac-mtb/bottlebutt-home ----- The Bottlebutt 100 and the Hairy-butt 50 are scheduled for the 10th of September, 2011. The Bottlebutt 100, including the Hairy-Butt 50, is a new Mountain...

Ahoy, I just noticed that both my fork legs have a rubber-like "goop" on them. It really feels like rubber, it's stuck fast to the fork leg, and it can't be doing any good for the fork action, and possibly no good for the seals either. Anyway, I've never seen this before? Anyone know what's...

http://the-riotact.com/captains-flat-dam-failure-warning.htm They're worried about Googong Dam going pear shaped. Serious shit if so. Central Qbn is already awash, Lake BG is almost to the point where the river below the dam is at the level of the dam... whereafter the dam would start to...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good double action floor pump? A high volume of air and good valve connection is far more important than high pressure. When fitting my tyres tubeless it was far (far!) easier with a borrowed double action floor pump than my basic one. Meaning, it...

Gutted - I'm entered in the 100 and can't do it due to medical crapola. So I have a 100k entry plus an XL jersey ordered (cost $95) total cost $225 Will take just half that - $112.50 including jersey. (The $30 transfer fee will be payable at rego.) Be a part of it, call me, call me...

Well the chillier weather is here again, and with it, a chronic oversupply of PHLEGM. I don't have a cold, or hayfever, or any of that, but when riding in chilly conditions my stupid body sees fit to produce enough nostril oil to power a middle eastern economy. It doesn't have to be that...

Back again for 2010, the Angry Doctor and his Irate Intern and Naugty Nurse mates will be on 4th and 5th September. http://www.arocsport.com.au/MTBenduro/mtbenduro_home.html As it says there, entries open <edit> 9h June via a ballot system. </edit> My plan is to enter the 100, then be...

Last night I bent one of the teeth on my middle chainring. I'm not sure how, but it was probably a careless shift under power - silly me :mad: Anyway, it looks like it could be fixed with the careful application of pliers to re-align it? The question is - is this good enough? I imagine...

The last Dirt Crits season ran from October to March. I'm looking forward to being a (slow) part of this season's races. Does anyone know if it is planned to start soon, or..? http://www.corc.asn.au/events/crit_calendar.asp This isn't a hurry-up or a whinge, just looking forward to it...

We were night riding at Sparrow Hill last week doing a 30k loop and came across this amazing section where hundreds of small reflectors had been placed alongside the trail in the middle of nowhere. It looked absolutely stunning. One stretch of it was like a tunnel with reflectors hanging right...

Just a quick question, my wife is commuting home and now that it's dark she's a bit paranoid about the pissy little red light we have - and I'm even MORE paranoid about her not being seen. Also I need a rear light for night riding on the MTB (but that's secondary - I guess any uberbright light...

The website for this event doesn't have a great deal of info: http://www.eliteenergy.com.au/mtb101/index.html and a search didn't find anything on farkin either. Does anyone have any insight into what the terrain and format (multiple loops, one long point-to-point loop, whatnot) will be...

G'day, my wife and I are going to Europe this year and meeting up with a couple of mates over there and we want to do a multi-day sightseeing tour. They're not super-fit but keen to do some "proper" cycling so long as the expectations aren't that high... More important is the scenery...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/12/12/2444345.htm Jesus, go back 500 years and they could handle a bloke with knives better than this - just throw a net over the kid. It's not like he had a nuclear friggen bomb. If you want to get all high tech, they shoot animals with tranq...

G'day, being relatively new to the MTB scene I've only been riding with my brother in law (or by myself - not too exciting). Trouble is, he's in training for solo'ing the Scott (!), so of course it's like a torture test for someone of my (un)fitness level. I notice the CORC website has some...

Being the nub that I am I'm seeing "North Shore" used around the place to describe a type of riding and have NFI what it means. Riding on a riverbank..? :p Fill me in please? :confused:
