hello everyone. I was wondering, have any of you come across your cables slowly being cut simply by braking. I discovered the problem, luckily as I was opening my garage door the other day, rather…Continue

"Saw again yesterday. The rack on the back isn't a Topeak, and is a different design. The bottle cage is different and the seat looks standard.
Doesn't look like this is the one."

Anne-Lise Larsen replied to Anne-Lise Larsen's discussion Braking mechanism seems to have cut the brake cable - disc brakes"Hi there Noel. I did get it serviced back at the place I bought it. I think not ever having had disc brakes before I wasn't really aware on how to look after them and they probably assumed that I did. Was pretty shocked to see a cable worn…"
"the casing which holds the tightening bolt for the cable actually rubs/cuts against the cable
This is not 100% clear to me. By casing you are not referring to the casing that the cable slides in but rather a part of the brake lever. Can you give us…"

Sounds like warranty to me. I expect they will be nice and repair it for free, clearly it wasn't right in the first place and it is a reputable shop with a reputation worth keeping. If not, then a…"

Cyclists and bike paths and rules of the road and avoiding head ons and simple common courtesy
Posted on May 15, 2012 at 12:02am 10 Comments 1 Like
I've been holding my tongue about this for a while, but I'd be curious to know what everyone's opinion is about this... and whether I'm being entirely unreasonable. Are there no bike path rules? Is it every cyclist for him/herself? This may be an inarticulate rant...
My understanding of bike paths is that they should follow similar rules to that of the road. Keep left, keep to within your lane, give way in the usual road rule way.
I ride every day on bike paths and roads, and…

The other day I was riding along the bike path down at Sans Souci heading north, just as it turns into the dolls point part of the track, behind the houses. There's a little path where pedestrians can join the shared path from the footpath. As I was heading towards this section, I saw an older man pushing a pram along. He saw me too, coming along at some pace - probably 20km or so. I slowed down as a cautionary and thought to ring my bell, but also thought that he being older, would realise…

Continue Motorist beepings and my bleepings!

I was riding along rocky point road this morning after 11am, minding my own business, traveling north on the inside lane. Today I had two beeps from motorists. I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve, but I tell you, it scares the hell out of me when I hear a beep come from nowhere for apparently no reason.
The first beep happened down at the pool at sans souci. A white four wheel drive just beeped me, apparently to tell me it was going to pull in front of me to turn left…

If you are getting on to the path at Tempe, it basically starts at Kendrick Park, which is on the Princes Highway - have a look at this Bikely Route - http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Cooks-River-Cycleway-Bay-to-Bay-Walk

- No worries, it really is a lovely bit of Sydney to ride, infitely more enjoyable than battling with traffic down Bexley Road.
