NSW XC Series - update email
Did I mention there would be prizes for this years 2009 X-Fusion State Series? I think I did!! so how is this for a bit of a list?
* Enter on line and your next entry could be free!! that's right, we'll have a bit of a lucky draw once entries close on Wednesday the 13th of May, and someone will get a free entry to either the Ourimbah, Blue Gum Lodge or Lithgow rounds! Given these harsh times that seems like a great deal to me!! and that's just the start...
* Some very lucky rider will walk away with a set of X-Fusion Velvet R Forks valued at $699!! here's one reviewer from Interbike had to say:
"they performed just like the top crop of current generation forks. The action was buttery smooth. The steering and control was stiff and predictable"
http://reviews.mtbr.com/interbike/x-fusion-velvet-fork-and-02-rear-shock/
And all you have to do to walk home with one of these is race! Race one round and you get one entry into the draw, race all of them and get four entries! the more you race, the greater chance you have of winning!
But I haven't finished yet...
* For the club trophy ( yes we're having a club trophy) you could win for your club up to $300 of cold hard cash or for the winner, the option of a set of X-Fusion Velvet R Forks valued at $699 to do with as your club chooses! 2nd and 3rd don't miss out either with $200 or $100 on offer for your club as well. Place in your category and you give your club bonus points. But simply race through out the series and you'll be adding to your clubs chances of becoming a little richer plus giving your club bragging rights as being NSW's champion Cross Country Club! I'm sure there's already some bitter rivalries out there ready to be settled :)
Don't forget to check out the full range of X-Fusion products available in Australia from DIYMTB:
I could go on, but that would ruin the surprise ;)
Happy Trails!
Cheers

Taipei Cycle Show
The Taipei Cycle Show will be on next week 17-20 March and we will be attending.
We are expecting some news from X-Fusion at the show and will be posting any new products and developments here.

Working Week Series 09
Just checked the Bright Orange website and there is a date for the first round of the Working Week Series. Feb 8th at Lithgow. Western Sydney have March 8 in their calendar as round 2.
Anyway it's great to hear that the series is off and running again after some speculation about what was happening. The working week series ahs been one of the major contributors to the growth of mountain bike events here and a great format for those wanting to try racing.
The event calendar is very full this year and trying to squeeze in a free weekend is getting harder.

Aussies clean up 4X
Last night a large crowd watched on in light rain, under lights as Aussie's domiated the 4X World Cup round at Stromlo.
The mens final was an all Australian start grid with Jared Graves taking it out.
In the womens event team KHS/X-Fusion's Caroline Buchanan dominated the heats and continued to the the top step of the podium.
A good start was essential on the Stromlo track and Caroline got to the first corner in the best position and then created a gap to the rest of the field. Lower on the track Caroline lost a little ground through what appeared to be a slower line choice but had too good a lead to be caught.
Congratulations to all the Aussie's who starred at this home event.

New Products
Mavic Freehub repair bushings
Now you can keep your Mavic freehub performing like it should.
Previously Mavic freehubs required replacing when the nylon bushings wore out. We have always been able to supply bearings to help keep them spinning nicely and now we can provide replacement nylon bushings so your Mavics should keep running for many more years.
If you have a set of Mavic wheels you would already know how important it is to service the freehub regularly to remove any dirt etc and keep them lubed. Even doing this religiously does not stop the inevitable wear of the nylon bushing.
Made of high quality self lubricating material and precision made the bushings are made in standard sizing and a .003 oversize to suits worn hubs.
