Capital Dogging 18 Mar 2013 | 01:53 am
2nd place in what was a more than tactical race. There were more road blocks than just cramps, but why write about it when local gun Lewy Cressy has already written a great report from within the lead...
Wind in the Willo’s 12 Mar 2013 | 01:30 am
I decided to involve the crowd. Photo: www.theroostmag.com.au The third instalment of James Williamson’s Enduro in Wingello was one I was looking forward to for a few reasons. Racing in James’ honou...
Inside line at 2013 XCO Nationonals 24 Feb 2013 | 09:24 am
Despite the main line being filled in with concrete, I still preferred the inside/left line on Hammerhead at Nationals. Using Cardiac-Hammerhead at this year’s Nationals was the first good decision MT...

Yet to be weighed, my new XTC Advanced SL is just how I like it: streamlined, minimalised, internalised, and glamourised. Details like internal seat post clamp and internal cable routing make for a sl...

Just when I thought Shimano was surely going to plateau with it’s improvements on Dura Ace and XTR they just keep turning it up. Same as Giant with their lighter, sleeker and stiffer frames and specs....
