used racing wheels!
I raced and trained on the Mavic Ksyrion SL my Giant came with, then replaced them twice through accident payout; $1050 a pair. They then got slightly damaged in races. I would still race them but I like a second pair of wheels simply because sooner or later a wheel will be out of use and then you h...

Yes. I leave 6:30; Mona Vale Rd St Ives maybe 7. Let me know your plans. It is my favourite; the mood of this quite short race is often tense courtesy of the final climb out of Illawong Bay. I planned to put on my handlebar camera, as I did in last Sundays Beaumont crit, but I now think the course i...

Thanks for the hints
I was off-line for a while
Thank you all for the help.
I took a wet ride the next day to Mikes Cell bikes and the chap sold me a used Shimano BB for $20 which is now seemingly happy doing the job.

Youtube has uploaded for 1h ( under 'Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club Training' I believe) and confirmed but no streaming so far.
Succes is rare indeed and my patience running low

Possibly! Anyhow I have ordered a helmet movie camera ($159 from Torpedo7). So on next training I will ride behind to put your road troubles on undisputable record. As a warning it does sound too, I think.

Do cyclists pay for road use?
You probably know that I believe that fuel tax cover road costs only to a small extent. Furthermore I have never adopted the position that cyclists pay for road use by virtue of them also being motorists. [Simply because in my view a non-motorist cyclist is as good (if not better) a cyclist then a c...

cents per litre not percent
As we know, a reasonable amount of the cost of petrol is tax. According to Shell, about 30-35% of the cost is in tax, and part of this is GST, so the higher the cost of Fuel, the more tax you pay on it. Yes GST works that way but is collected by the Federal Govenment, and is only little (1/11th of ...

I'm just hung up because of exactly that. I've read the FAQ on the photo subject but that way seems tall order. Do you have a simple way to insert pictures?
Also how to put your picture next to the name?

I'm in for whatever ride you prefer. The West Head ride is quite exposed while the gorges route includes more shady bits. On the gorges ride you get a break on the ferry in Berowra Waters; on the other one it's worth to stop at West Head for the remakable views.
