The club owns specialised race equipment, such as aero wheels, aero bars,and ergonometers (full listing below), which can be borrowed or hired for that special race.

If you wish to borrow any club equipment, you need to get in contact with a member of the executive, either in person, or by email.

A few simple rules/notes about the use of club equipment

  • Book in advance if you want to use any club equipment. A grade riders do not have preference on club equipment.
  • Equipment is picked up from the wheel holder on Thursday and returned by the following Wednesday, NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • No hire fees are payable if you are a UQSPORT member, otherwise $10.00 is payable when wheels are picked up, $5.00 for tribars.
  • A $20.00 deposit is required on all wheels and is forfeited for late return or missing bits.
  • A $10.00 deposit is required for tribars.
  • Any components of equipment eg. valve extenders, skewers etc not returned must be REPLACED with the original item otherwise borrowing/hiring rights are suspended.
  • All wheels come equipped with singles (where applicable), and the club takes responsibility for wear and tear (including punctures) on singles.
  • The same rules for wheels, apply for aero bars.
  • Ergo trainers are able to be borrowed for longer than a week at the discretion of the holder of the wheels, generally ergos are for club members who are getting over an injury or training for an important race, because we only have two please consider other members when using them for an extended period time.

These rules are not guidelines, they are strict rules and breaking them not only deprives other club members of their right to the equipment it also suspends your right to future use of equipment. You may think we are being a little rough but these rules are only a product of misuse of club equipment, YOUR EQUIPMENT. When using club equipment please respect it, as if it was your own.
