I would love an 800 and that is what I…"

One of my biggest issues of riding around Kowen is the way you go into full sun and then shade. Seems like I always seem to be adjusting to the light and shade and never seeing as much as I want to.…Continue

Milto replied to Andy's discussion 'Winter MTB Clothing'
"I like to try and dress warm enough to not have to wear a jacket. I always seem to sweat in them too much. Long sleeve merino base layer, long sleeve winter cycling jersey and a wind vest covers all but the coldest temps. As always hands and…"
Milto commented on Steve K's event 'The Kowalski Classic - 30th Sept 2012'
"I think some of the club type 100km events are a little cheaper. Things like the Tathra enduro $90? and Back Yamma $???
I guess with the travel it is irrelevant though as it will always end up costing more with food, transport and accom…"
Milto replied to Boomslang's discussion 'Visiting Canberra, help me mtb?'
"It isn't cold when there is no snow on the ground!
Canberra gets colder than most parts of Australia but doesn't even compare to most of europe, north america or scandanavia where you do have to be tough to ride through winter. I…"

Milto commented on Third Idiot's event 'get cold at Kowen - thursday night spin'
"The ride out there is nice. We did it on a weekend about 18 months ago. Started and finished at Pialligo as there was a cafe there. Orchard road is a nice and easy to navigate route. There is a nasty bitumen climb into Kowan from the Sutton road end…"

Lefty Max 140mm fork reduced travel to 110mm to accomodate 29er wheels.

Karl B aka Crasher said… - Milto,
I have a little story about your acco. My wifes stepfather is the welder at Cleanaway (he repairs the cracked & broken equipment) & he was giving me an account of your accident from the drivers perspective.
Aparently you hit the truck that hard that he originally thought it was a car, so he got out to have a look & saw you on the ground & thought "oh bugger it was a motorbike". He then realised you were on a pushy & nearly had a heart attack when he saw you only had one leg.......... :)
Must have been a bit of a shock for him.Delete Comment
