Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Unfortunately I'm not available this weekend.

Just a test post, please delete

Is this ride on with any weather?

Yep, I'm convinced and putting an order on Wiggle this weekend. If anyone wants to add something to the order and save delivery please pm me.

Cheers

Thanks all for the comments.

I had considered the Swiss Stop Green, but have read in a few forums a few people complaining that they eat away the rims by collecting stuff specially in the wet.
Can you confirm that they are 'gentle' on the wheels?

Cheers

Hi all We had a particular wet July and I have noticed that the break pad inserts have collected a lot of grit and alu shards. Breaking became noisy and left some impressions on the (alloy) rims. Got through the month by plucking the shards off almost every commuting day which was really annoying. C...

Have registered as well - maybe we can get a DHBC "team" -:)

Thanks very much and congratulations to Paul and Pete for putting this ride together. Looking forward to the next ones. Unfortunately I've been off the bike since for other reasons, but I'll thank you both personally probably next weekend. On another point (Blake, feel free to move this if you think...

Hi Jo

I'm sorry, but I have already ordered it. I got the $85 option which isn't too bad. Hurry, there are still a few $85 packages and there are only 9 hours for the project to end...

These look great. I'd question the battery life but a good commuter solution: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dingbikelight/ding-bike-lights Hi Jo. Really liked these. And after a closed call tonight at the infamous Bourke St, I'm seriously thinking of getting them. The battery might not be to...

Thanks Peter and Paul.
I'll take my chances and if there are some coming early I'll join this group even if this means a mock TTT training -:)

Really looking forward to this ride.

Hi Peter

Can you please confirm that the finish time in Marrickville is ~10:15am?
Last Sunday at the Waterfall ride I heard someone saying that we should expect to get back at or after lunch time.

I'm sorry, but I can't make this ride either. Will have to take the little one to the Zoo -:)
Neil,
Can a Kurnell Ride tempt you?

Jo, I see you have also confirmed presence in a LaPa farewell ride for Greg. Aren't they on the same day???

Following up on the success of the topic 'Advice on new road tyre' I'm hoping to get some advice on a new wheelset. To be honest, I find the options out there so many and a bit overwhelming. I understand that different wheels serve different purposes and styles and I have heard that in selecting a w...

Just wanted to say Thanks to Stuart for leading an enjoyable ride this morning. It was a good bunch and the pace was well managed.

I second that. Thanks Stu for a great ride.

Here is my follow up feedback. I ended up going with a pair of Ultremo DDs (not the ZX) and they are great. I do a few club rides to Waterfall, Eastern Hills and Slowies and commute almost daily through the dirty streets of Redfern, Surry Hills and the city. So far have had only one puncture which h...

Set the alarm, woke up, but so did the baby. After a while we both went back to sleep.
As a punishment I had a broken spoke during the wet ride to work.

Hi Christian

I'd be interested in a club cut small jersey depending on the turnaround of the order.
Are you working with a particular timeframe?

Cheers

Great comments all round and many options to consider. Thanks very much. But I have to admit I like the balance of the Schwalbe Ultremo DD and might give them a try. Found them here for $50.99 and here is a review with more interesting comments. Haven't made up my mind yet though. But I know time is...

I'm glad you got a nice ride. I went up Cooks river to meet a friend for a ride which was supposed to start at the Olympic Park. All well until my new tyre had some other ideas which resulted with a train ride home...

Andre

Yes, good and important read indeed.
It reminded me of the free courses the City of Sydney provide to empower people to ride with traffic.

I understand that tyre choice is quite personal and also varies according to type of riding and rider weight, but I really would like your opinion on the subject. I have recently fitted 2 x Continental Grand Prix 4000S II (700 x 23c) and 500kms later this happens to the back tyre. http://www.avocom....

Thanks Dougie I was only trying to get an idea of the general interest. Being a newbie I don't know many routes and I'm terrible with directions. So I can pick the starting point, time, suggest a pace and hope people will come up with nice rides. The usual suspects are Akuna, Gorges, Eastern Suburbs...

Anyone up for a ride on Monday (9/6)?
I was thinking of something 80 to 100kms @ 28s pace leaving at 6:30, but I could be convinced of leaving at 6am.
Not really sure where to go at this stage.
Hopefully the weather will get better over the weekend and it will be a good day for a ride.

Hi Stuart I just saw the post on FB and remember that last year a ride leader from Slowies (I think it was Jo) asked me something about it. Yes, it is a huge upgrade. Depending of the website and components it is sometimes easier to rebuild it from scratch. If all external components are compatible ...
