Hello all I am about to move house, looking seriously at houses around the Springfield / Springfield Lakes suburbs of Brisbane. Does anyone know of any good trails and singletrack within reasonable riding distance to these suburbs?

Some of the talk at the club meeting (Tuesday 6th September) involved discussion about the "easy-up" shade shelters. It was agreed that these would be purchased by the club once a reasonable quote was obtained. I totally agree that these should be purchased (as I was badly sunburnt at the last...

Has anyone ridden/heard anything about these new bikes built on the "maestro" suspension platform? I reckon they look fantastic.... http://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/030.000.000/030.000.000.asp?model=11147

KTM also make mountain bikes. interesting. http://62.99.143.236/at/frameset.asp?cPage=page&iPage=121&iClickedTop=2&iClicked=0&cBrowser=Microsoft%20Internet%20Explorer <sorry about the german-ness of the link, but i couldn't get the english site to open. meh.> i...

Are there any places to ride in the Mooloolaba area? I'm taking my xc bike there for schoolies week (yay! bring on schoolies week!) and want to know if there are any decent trails to be ridden in the area. Cheers

Hey Toowoombians I've got some planks suitable for north shore building, so if you want it, just pm me. It's taking up too much valuable bike storage space. I was originally going to do some n/s building myself (near "Chompy") but i just don't have the time and can't be bothered anymore...

I have noticed that some bikes have a radially spoked front wheel. Why is this? Surely a standard cross pattern would be stiffer and stronger. I know that on road bikes radially spoked wheels are for aerodynamics, but why bother for an mtb?

I am planning to do a bit of work on the new dh track near Lefty tomorrow morning (Friday the 13th :twisted: ), so if anyone wants to help out feel free. Don't worry about tools/digging utensils - they should all still be there. Oh and tools need not apply. I'll be there from 9am onwards...

i've got an xc hardtail with magura louise hydro discs, and i'm after a second set of disc rotors for my other wheelset. i've been quoted $89 per six inch rotor from phantom, but the hayes are only $65 or so. i'm led to believe that magura make slightly thinner rotors than hayes, and as such...

ok, this is waaaaaay off topic, but can everyone please go to www.thediscshop.com.au and vote for the new store to be opened in Toowoomba (the option is on the right hand side). In case you're wondering, thediscshop is a bulk cool online computer store, and is heaps cheap. so.....vote for...

I went to an xc race today at Kindilan OEC (near Redland Bay). Yeah yeah so it was an xc race, but it was farkin good. The track was average, not particularly techy, but it flowed, which as we all know is damn important. The track was made interesting by some mud (I’m going to have fun...

being a toowoomba local who rides regularly, i thought i would've known about all the tracks that exist in the area. then i look in the trails database and notice that there's a track called warana ave. is it a fireroad or what is it? what's it like?

just out of curiousity, what do you peeps think is a good 4 + 4 inch dually for less than $2500 2nd hand? i would use it primarily for xc/trailriding and some dh. the hardtail is starting to feel a smidgen too "bumpy" for my liking and i am planning to upgrade sometime early next year.

Whenever I go to work I think, damn, how sweet would it be to hit up these stairs? Drop after drop after drop at the Range shopping centre. Methinks my XC bike would kind've die afterwards though :( Grand Central would be pretty suave too. What do the rest of yas think :?:
