    Upgrading to a float x or monarch plus rc3 on a Norco carbon sight?

    Hi All, Had a chat to Cane Creek the other day. I was curious as to why they don't have recommendations for the double barrel and db CS for the Norco sight carbon. Well they got back to me very quickly and indicated that neither will fit the bike. I was a bit disappointed by that...

    LBS Upgrade Policy on New bikes

    Hi All, I'm interested to hear what people expect or have experienced out there.. Imagine you are buying a new bike, say one of substantial cost 5K+ and are not that keen on one component (forks would be a common one). SO you want to upgrade the forks on the bike. What sort of...

    Frenzy open for this weekend -- but partly closed again Monday.

    Please obey the signage with regard to trail closure. Part of Frenzy (top section) is likely to be closed from Monday on. The rangers have done a heap of work there on the land slip (6 truck loads of rock or something) -- but a couple more loads are required. Matt

    Cheeseburger

    Hi All, In my role as trail development officer I just wanted to ask for Toowoomba area mtb'ers assistance with something fairly important. We are currently negotiating with council to make Cheeseburger a legal trail, protect its character and maybe even make it longer. But in a way...

    Shorter stem advice required

    HI All, I ride a trance X2 2010. It is probably a good beginners bike -- I've liked it for the last couple of years. I rode a scott genius 10 recently -- and despite some of the bad stuff I read in reviews, I actually liked it. What I did notice is what reviewers have referred to in terms of...

    Volunteer Award -- Many thanks!

    Hi All, I just wanted to say thanks to all for the wonderful trophy -- I have to say that I feel there are others who deserve it as much or more. I could say it was a trophy for the whole team -- but let's face it, that is not going to work, since I will be the one drinking beer out of...

    Not sure how many have already completed this, but we need mountain bikers to get their perspective across http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HLFXFL2 The structure suggests we have been totally forgotten! I think Ryan may have posted this a while back. Matt

    bike racks and the range

    Hi All, Met a bloke down at the rollercat yesterday who had just been fined for carrying bikes on a bike rack with no auxiliary number plate. $320!!! They got him as he came down the range. So, just a heads up -- apparently they do care about it, and it is very expensive. Matt

    Turkey/Gobbler is in action

    Hi All, I've ridden the Turkey today, and it all looks good. I will give Graham a ring and thank him for cutting the log (thanks to those who moved it out of the way too). I actually said that we would move it, if he could cut it. So it worked out well. Graham was by himself and could...
