From Alice Springs, Outbike crosses the Simpson Desert to Dalhousie Hot Springs, on to a dusty Oonnadatta and finally, Cooper Pedy. It’s dirt all the way - on trails with next to no other vehicles.Outbike_Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15298707261121369715noreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37333775.post-10869699967611712802007-03-19T12:08:00.001+10:302007-03-19T12:08:51.763+10:30Want to get a touch for Outbike.

Wax-based lubricants, unlike most petroleum/oil based lubes, don’t attract dust and dirt. Water and mud is rarely a problem, but dust, dirt and sand does get lifted by wind and the tyres from the roads and tracks. It gets between your bikes moving parts and causes friction. You can already hear the squeaks I’m sure. Although wax based lubes do have to be applied more frequently as they brake down more easily (better for the environment) cost a little more, they will give you a quieter and smoother bike that will love you for longer. Need a brand name, ‘White Lighting’ is our recommendation.<br />To have a look at how to best lubricate your bike click <a href="http://www.mscd.edu/~cra/webskills/bike/lube_chain.htm">here </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37333775-5985976595283708963?l=theoriginaloutbike.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Outbike_Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15298707261121369715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37333775.post-65009231391672997802007-02-05T18:25:00.000+10:302007-02-05T18:44:49.441+10:30Hello Happy Riders,<br />The Bike 'n Wheels Expedition and The Great Outback Bike ride are in full swing and so is Our Original, our longest running ride and some say the best. If you enjoy a challenge this is the ride for you!<br />Over the last century farmers and our government have created an awe-inspiring 900km 'bike path' to take in the red centre's hidden gems. This path is occasionally visited by the odd vehicle, generally one of the locals living in this vast country. Few people really know how beautiful this stretch of very changing desert really is...which is another reason why we love it so much. <br />A picture is worth a thousand words...so have a look.
