"I agree with going tubeless though I don't consider that less of an upgrade and more of an essential component.
As for pimping your ride, that bike is pretty sweet as it is. It is a good weight and has good components on it and has great…"

Started this discussion. Last reply by Steve K Dec 7, 2011. 10 Replies 0 Likes
A few times in the past year I've caught up to a rider and asked to pass (non-race situation). No reaction from aforesaid rider. I then say 'Track!' and still no reaction. So now I yell "TRACK!" and…Continue

So I want a new XT level Trance, so I'm down to two bikes that are similarly specced and priced.In the blue corner is the Trance X 0 which has a remote-adjustable seatpost (Giant's 'Switch'), a 2 x…Continue

I hope you all had a better race than I. I pulled out after about ten or eleven kay due to poor preparation and bad decisions before the gun even went off. Then I had sealant issues, no second tube,…Continue

"The very rocky trail I was trying to remember the name of was 'Magpie Rock'. It starts at Echidna Junction, which is where Western Wedgetail starts.
Sorry for turning up late - I'll to turn up on time next time."
Christopher Giuliano replied to Steve K's discussion 'Strava shout out'
"I started on Strava in April - it is the reason I bought a smartphone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Active - dustproof and water resistant so I can ride in all weather with in my jersey pocket).
I'm addicted.
Karl, basically you go for a ride and the…"
Christopher Giuliano commented on Third Idiot's event 'get cold at Kowen - thursday night spin'
"Did you guys go? If so, we must have been in opposing orbits as we didn't see anyone else out there.
The temperature was perfect! My Berm jersey was all I needed up top."
Christopher Giuliano commented on Third Idiot's event 'get cold at Kowen - thursday night spin'
"I'll be there... sort of. There's an Onya shop ride at the same time. I'll wear my Berm jersey so you know which one is me - please say hello. Feel free to join us in our game which is called 'Try to keep up with Mark…"

"I'm now going to the Tumut Air Show instead. It will be worth missing the race for one low pass of a Merlin on song."

"$10!!!??? Is there a zero missing?
Oh, its a CORC race. Sweet."

Christopher Giuliano replied to Richard Douglas's discussion 'Slick Tyres on MTB Rims????'
"I'm running a set of Tioga City Slickers that are 26 x 1.0 that I picked up from Onya Bike Civic for so cheap (compared to decent knobbies) that I can't remember the price. I just thought I'd chime in because they are a great…"
Christopher Giuliano commented on Diane Chanut's event 'Capital Punishment MTB Enduro RE-SCHEDULED'
"That was my second CP (I did the first rainy one) and I must say today's course was a pearler - adding Sparrow and going through the guts of the Defence range was SO much better. I rode much of it with two guys (roadie/MTBer…"
Christopher Giuliano replied to apo's discussion 'Lights'
"Okay Steve you inspired me to do some googling and I found the light I have. It is the Inton NB-04 - also advertised at 2200 lumens.
Head weight is 283.4g. Hmmm.

Christopher Giuliano replied to apo's discussion 'Lights'
"After two decades of mountain biking I've leaned that there is one thing that can be more important than anything else: after sales service and support. As Leigh states there is a high potential for problems with such things. I know.

Sitting here typing this while stuffing my lunch down my throat and reflecting on the weekend of racing, I can't restrain myself to type that it was the best weekend of racing I've ever had. And here's why...The people. All the competitors were marvelous company - I connected to a few people I've seen around the scene but never spoken to before, some people I haven't seen for fifteen years, and some new faces I've never seen before in my life. And speaking of these new faces, many of them were…See More

After completing the James Williamson 75km and thinking that was tough, I then did the 100ker at Tathra, which rendered me dizzy, nauseated, and walking. So I wanted to figure out a way to compare enduros, and thought that the number of starters as a proportion of finishers could be a good indicator. I've completed three of the events below, and I think I agree with the positions of each.
DNS are not included. And though some other races have results up, some only show the times of…

Some of you may not know that the gate at the very highest corner of Majura has been open for some time. It has been closed for many years. This means one can not only punish oneself riding up the steep and slippery Mineshaft, but one can continue up through the gate and head left and get all the way to the fence at the radar station at the top of Majura without breaking your rhythm (ha!). For those that don't know, the Mineshaft is the fireroad that starts near the Koppers Logs entrance on…
