Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
What is a "good value" (locally sourced) shifter and derailleur upgrade from Sram SX 12sp (practically anything I know).
It's for my nephew, I was thinking either deore shifter/derailleur or xt shifter/deore derailleur...
). XT/Deore if you can afford it. There is a significant upgrade in feel with the XT shifter. But the 10 and 11 speed Deore stuff is also very good and less fiddly to dial in.

Currently at hornsby trails. A few things...
Noting the new and well sign posted walking trail start point, why the fuck do so many people walk right past it and onto the near by shit looking bike track? Moderately sign posted.
More to the point - does anyone know when or if the dirt jumps here will be rebuilt? They are currently burrowed under a pile of dirt that looks suspiciously like it is going to be a sports field...if you are not aware of my feelings on sports fields, they are shit. Fuck those sports. Build more dirt jumps.

Why do sports fields need to be flat?.
Every ballsports would be far more interesting with some decent undulations..

Golf courses have undulations. There's a couple in Sydney that were/are hilarious for MTB. Castlecrag comes to mind...

with e-bags?
they could modernise the game a bit.... eeb-polo-golf comes to mind...

They're basically roadies these days but strangely resistant to e-anything despite high statin doses...
I'd certainly wear a helmet if I was golfing with any of them. I reckon a hardtail and a polo mallet would work but I might get banned from the Chinese restaurant at the clubhouse as a result...

I think the answer is less sports ball.

What happens when the golf carts take over? Will it be like a slave uprising for freedom and equality? Or will they in turn become evil elitists like most golfers?
it is the shopping trolleys that pose the greatest risk.

Ok Sydney people, it is your time to help...
Hornsby jumps are currently deceased so I am looking for some new places to rips some skids and case the B lines. I am already familiar with:
- jubes
- bare creek
- castle Cove
- the moo
- narra
Yes i know some of those locations are more trail less jumps. Ideally I am looking for some jumps of a similar level of challenge to the big line from hornsby or (for those that know them) the pump action jumps at glenrock and accessible from a train or ferry (let's say within 5km). Dont be telling any secrets, just the publicly known jumps please? The deal is i often make a trek to Sydney with my bike for a bit of a ride and dinning on my midweek days off, which usually coincides with when most reasonable dinning options at home are closed.
I dont need the imminent death jumps for those aspiring to red bull sponsorship.
