    Downhilling a Walmart Huffy

    I was hoping for more stacks and more damage to the bike, it held up pretty good :roll:

    Recommended maintenance books and tool kits

    Sorry to be ignorant, but would you please elaborate on a stitch'n'bitch and a bike kitchen? I'm ok with making mistakes, but not the night before I take the bike out for a ride haha! I'm a little nervous around the idea of working on my suspension to add to that! I was looking at that kit...

    Recommended maintenance books and tool kits

    Would purchasing tools this way become more costly? Or are the pre-packaged kits loaded with useless tools? I do like the idea of buying the essentials first - I think I'll need to research those and then start my purchases. Are there any more you'd recommended to start with, or is what you've...

    Recommended maintenance books and tool kits

    Good evening friends! I've been off the trails for a couple years and only recently have rekindled my love for the sport. I'm interested in conducting my own maintenance so I can learn more about my bike and save myself some money (in a way). After having a search through rotorburn for...

    Hornsby Mountain Bike Park

    Chops, Cecil Hills has some awesome berms (HUGE! 4ft high and up at about 60 degrees!!) Its disappointing because theres also a lot of up hill pedalling and similar to Mt Annan, not much reward! You should enjoy Cecil Hills as it has a few good jumps and drops, perfect for a bit of hang time...

    Hornsby Mountain Bike Park

    Jumped onto Hornsby with my uncle on Saturday arvo after picking my bike up Friday evening. BOY was I in for a surprise! I've been riding Mt Annan and sneaking onto the "Under Construction" Cecil Hills MTB Track, so Hornsby was a whole other ball park! Boy did I have fun! Got to admit though...

    going 1x10, what front ring size?

    Ive recently bought a bike, which has 1x10, 32T Raceface Narrow Wide and 11-34T, Im not fit and my legs get an intense pump up climbs, but I soldier on and the bike makes it up the hills no problem! Sitting on the biggest sprocket up hills proves difficult and slow - but I think all steep climbs...

    Airdog, automated aerial go-pro drone.

    I know the trails that I do has quite a number of trees and using the go pro, from a distance, it doesnt really capture whats going on... Unless theres a zoom function on my gopro I dont know about? LOL!

    Airdog, automated aerial go-pro drone.

    Ive noticed in the videos that the drone is in a wide open area with virtually no obstacles, this being said, Im wondering how the drone will fair in bushland, flying through with us through bushy tracks. I don't think it'd like the company of a tree branch, haha!

    New Sydney rider back in the saddle.

    How are the brakes on it?? Yeah Ive been told the Trance is better for all mountain, where as the Anthem is just a specialty bike. I always assumed that the anthem would be able to handle anything thrown at it! I'll get you to make your way south-west after the Cecil Hills track has been...

    New Sydney rider back in the saddle.

    G'day Kyle! Welcome to the hood! Im new here too, but never received recognition :( How do you find the Trance 2? Ive been looking at getting a Trance or Anthem myself, decisions are tough, but how do you find the lower end componentry and suspension? Also, where in Sydney are you located...
