This discussion was started in a different thread about a serious SS Nats. An idea formed and a concept has emerged. A few silly buggers started chatting and next thing you know the reality of the idea is staring us in the face. That idea is a short series of 4 races for Single Speed only...

Hi all. I recently let a fellow burner take my beloved wife`s Niner MCR (don`t tell her) for a spin and he seemed to enjoy it. So much so that he is now looking around for a boutique frame to build up a new steed. He comes from a DH, street and dirt jump background and has been known to...

I've been looking for a new steel 29er frame lately and just when I thought I was ready to fork out some of the folding stuff I get the Niner Newsletter announcing their new S.I.R. http://www.ninerbikes.com/sir9 Anybody got any thoughts? Will they be available here before Xmas? I'm thinking...

G`day all. I attended the Crazy 6 hr last Saturday and one of the post race discussion topics was about holding the race on a Saturday instead of the traditional Sunday when most of the enduro races are held. I thought it was great as it gave a full day of recovery before heading back to a week...

G`day all. Does anybody have any info about the MTB course to be used in the 2012 Vic Police & Emergency Services Games in April? I see it`s at the Eumeralla Scout Camp in Anglsea but thats all the info I`ve found so far. Cheers MH

Got a week in Victor Harbour with the family lined up and need to know what XC trails, if any, are nerby? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers MH

G`day all. A recent thread from another member displaying 10 years of MTBing has promted me to ask the question - Do you know whatever happened to your old ride? I started out on a Malvern Star XCS7 a few years ago and then it sat unused in the shed after I upgraded to a 29er. Early last...

G`day all It’s Moustache Season, so I’ve decided to do my bit for men’s health and commit to grow and cultivate what I know will be a fine looking moustache during Movember. I’m on the hunt for fellow fine and like-minded MTBers to join me on my quest by signing up to my team. The MTB Mo...

Hi. Tax return is almost here and I`m tossing up between an XTR groupset (drivetrain and brakes with Icetech etc) or XT on a Niner build. Does anybody have the combined weights of these groupsets in 3x10 setup? Is it really worth the extra $1k for the XTR? Cheers MH

How fast can you donate blood? Ever donated blood and seen the timer that shows how long it has taken to bleed the required amount? My best is 7:14 after riding to the blood bank. What`s yours? (If you have never donated blood before, here is an excuse to start and feed that competitive...

Want to get a new 29er Single Speed this week as a spare bike and commuting. Looking at Avanti KISS, Kona Unit, Surly Karate Monkey or Cannondale Trail. Trying to keep to a budget of under$1400. Anybody got any opinions on the pro`s and cons of these bikes? Have I missed any that would fit...

Anybody interested in rides around Bendigo during the week? I head out by myself most Tuesdays and Fridays for a few hours while kids are at kinder and school. Always keen for some company to laugh at me when I fall off. Cheers MH

Just curious about how many let their kids ride to school? Today was National Ride2School day and it would be fair to say that there are more than double the number of kids bikes parked in the bike shed than normal at my son`s primary school. If you do let your kids ride to school, at what...

Can someone give me a few ideas on where to take a mate for a ride around Ballarat? I`ve just given my old MTB to a friend in Ballarat on the condition that he gives up smoking and challenged him to beat me. Should be good incentive as he won`t be able to cope with the idea that I`m better at...
