Sorry mate, after something more modern to fit the parts/groupset I have.

I appreciate the offer but I think a 54cm would be too small. I'm 191cm so even a 56 is on the smaller side, but I've got (relatively) short arms so they tend to work with a stock length stem. 58cm I'll normally drop back to a 70 or 80mm stem to make them fit.

Item: Cracked/Damaged road frame. Bonus points for having a matching fork. Location: Melbourne Price range/Willing to Pay: $100-150 Extra Info: After a 56cm (may also take a 58cm) road frame to build up a trainer bike. Preferable something relatively modern so it has reasonable geometry Happy...

Amazing, that's very much appreciated, photos are super helpful as well. I might buy a cheap pick from bunnings and just file the end down flat until it's the correct diameter if you reckon the spikey end was no good.

I've got a set of M820 Saints which are both leaking out of the pistons at the lever end. I'm 99% sure they're not leaking out of the reservoir cap as I've already disassembled these, inspected/cleaned the bladders, and re-assembled (and they're both still clean and dry). I've seen these el...

Had one for 2 years now on a 36, no complaints. Does what it needs to, still in one piece.

Item: Vertical Bike Rack (4 or 5 bike) Location: Melbourne Price range/Willing to Pay: Willing to purchase for <$1000, otherwise looking to rent one for 2 weeks Extra Info: Heading down to Tassie for the first 2 weeks of December with a few mates and we need a rack. We never bother to shuttle...

Mount two thru-axle mounts to the back of the tray/up against the cab. Forks in mount, ratchet strap though the saddle rails and attach to either side of the tray. Easy done.

+1 for Riley. Great bloke, excellent mechanic/wheel builder.

If it's an isolated ACL injury (no major meniscal or MCL involvement), outcomes from surgical vs non-surgical management are the same at the 2 year mark for the general population (non-elite athletes). Multiple studies have been done on this over the past 10 or so years. Either way, you have to...

Sounds like a Baker's Cyst, a collection of fluid in the back of the knee. It's more of a symptom of some injury/damage within the knee than it is a condition itself. Generally best bet is to see a competent physio and/or do a bit of knee rehab in order to get on top of it.

My brother bought a Koala which he didn't like, return process was relatively simple/problem-free from memory. He instead got a Onebed mattress which he rates. I bought an Ecosa last year and I'm a fan. Before we bought it we went to a few mattress stores that was such a shit time, didn't want...

Given the dimensions you posted, I'm assume you purchased a 'metric' spring. Now that newer shocks are going to metric measurements, 67.5-75 is a common stroke size for a 250mm eye-to-eye shock, in which case a 174mm spring (which is the length of a Rockshox 67.5-75mm spring) isn't too bad. In...

Wrong spring, shouldn't need to compress just to get the collar onto the threads. What are the dimensions of the shock?

Brand new bottle. I shook/banged/spun/harassed the crap out of the wheel after inflating That could potentially be it, it's not the easiest thing to fit without a little force. I might have to pull it all apart tomorrow and double down on the tape. Rim is a Raceface ARC30, however I have the...
