2018 Falls Creek Three Peaks
Setting a goal seemed like the best way to get back on the bike in a serious way. So I've signed up for the Falls Creek Three Peaks. Looking forward to any tips on any aspect of the ride, including logistics of getting there and accomodation.

More than happy to contribute to the fuel costs. Kevin is a saint, and after hitting that bit of metal near the 'Gong it was great solace to know there was a back wheel sitting in the van ready to use if need be. Tim/Simon/Kevin can you PM me your address so I can send a cheque?

Heffron 9/10/10
I picked up second in D, after stupidly running down the tank by leading 10/12 laps. http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/Results%202010/9%20Oct%20%202010/results_9_oct_2010.htm Ian narrowly missed a place in B grade: http://www.randwickbotanycc.com/Results%202010/9%20Oct%20%202010/gallery/Images/37.jpg

Good on you Toff. Maybe we should all give Cityrail a call, cite the case number, and tell them how important this ride is to the future of cycling in Australia.

My wife and I and our two kids are driving down on the Saturday (we are staying in Sutton Forest). We could give someone (and their fixed machine) a lift to Bundanoon. Although you'd have to be prepared to be squeezed a bit in the back seat, taking a bike would be no drama at all.

What gearing are people thinking of running for the century? My fixie is currently set up 40/16 (with 170 cranks), which using the late Sheldon Brown's calculator gives a gain ratio of 4.9 (http://sheldonbrown.com/gears/). I note that the out of the box Surly Steamroller comes with 47/19, which give...

Re: Anyone had any experience with Planet X Titanium frames?
Anthony Challinor at Velofix at Rozelle is gearing up to sell titanium bikes he's had custom built. I haven't been on one myself (I'm a steel man - my 'nago Master never shimmies) but they've been tested heavily by Anthony and his offsider Jose and are apparently awesome.

Sounds like Sunday 12 September is shaping up as the best date for the fixie century. Great suggestion for a social fixed ride too. [Post edited to remove my clueless reference to start point - I've now seen Simon's main post].

I didn't put in a pre-order, but if an L comes up in the club stock I'd love to get my hands on it.

Re: TEKTRO Road Brake Caliper Set - R520 $34.99
I put the Tekro R556 on my singlespeed. It is an old Apollo frame and the reach I needed was huge. The brakes work a treat. A bit spongy, but with good pads they work just fine. Highly recommended. Certainly better than running old brakes. http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt32/timbo1975_photo/DSC0...

My wife is Italian, and her cousin works in the Campagnolo factory in Vicenza (where my wife's family is from). They are cool with 'Campy'. Indeed it is quite Italian to bastardise an Italian term to make it easier for us Skips to say it.
