DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Hi Mark, Ive seen in Mbr mag that Yokohama have a new 29er tyre called the Quim {no rude comments plz} where am I likely to find a bit of Quim?. Been on mma sports web page but no mention of this cracking piece of rubber. Cheers Funky

Re: Paging Mr T

If MMA are bringing them in, Billy's on Burleigh St should be able to get them. AFAIK they still deal with MMA.
Strange how you don't get on with Mud X's though...they gave me so much confidence when I started riding again after my collar-bone break. Whenever you feel the bike starting to slide, they hook up straight away. They ploughed through everything at D2D too.
