    What with fox and broken rebound knobs? There seems to be a bloody long history of their forks doing that. I have an otherwise perfect XC fox 32 which works fine but the rebound knob is broken and they bloody hell designed it with a 10cm lever arm, made of alloy, adn the kicker, the bit that...

    Wow the 'In stock' option has returned! Just took them all of a few weeks to get that one back. Still missing a heap of useful stuff like sub categories. For example lights don't have front back or pair ptons. Wheels are still shambles and shimano has seeming disappeared. Also the sort by...

    LIGHTS MEGATHREAD - all questions on riding lights asked and answered here!!!

    Getting darker now so thread bump. I have a set of gemini lights (800 and 1100 lumen) and the 2 cell battery pack has lost a fair bit of it's capacity. I can no longer make the 1 hour commute on full power for the 800 lumen unit. I would have thought these things would have dropped a fair bit...

    Indigo Epic Trail

    It's good but don't expect miracles. I think the positives are that it doesn't get as much traffic as melbourne trails so holds up well and that you don't have to pay a crapload to access them like mystic. These days I don't bother with mystic when heading up there.

    Indigo Epic Trail

    You know you can shuttle that bit alone and it's a 15 min or so blast, the kicker is it's about exactly the same time it takes the car to go down, so it's very efficient!

    I know it's not feasible but for some reason I still want to throw money at it. This is what they call economic irrationality? :)

    I think it's the right one, but the screw is just in the wrong spot as pictured.

    The QUICK question thread.....

    It's actually bent from the box. The limit settings were munted and couldn't get the thing to go to the largest cog, even when pressing with fingers and backed up all the way. Then in all the gears the cage swivels out. I suspected the hanger and actually waited 6 weeks to get one from china...

    The QUICK question thread.....

    How the hell did this derailleur get bent? It's been in a box for year and brand new FFS. Already checked dropouts and hanger and it checks out.

    Weren't that cheap to begin with. But reducing the amount of options is never a good idea. I'm switching to aliexpress lately too. Just have to be a bit more proactive to research which vendors and be patient with post.

    The QUICK question thread.....

    Bent derailleur cage. set the low limit too much one way and chain falls off into spokes, other way and it won't shift. cage looks bent, but I can't see where it might be bent from. No hanger because I put another rd on there and it's straight. What are my options? New RD or should i chance and...

    Biggest cock up of all time in Australian history, by a long shot. In fairness, Gillard tried but horse had bolted at that point.

    Online retailers trusted/scammers

    They could have at least experimented with one site and left the other alone. Also, rekon Rapha is gonna have a go at infringement for the logo? Looks awfully close imo.
