    Internally Geared Hub?

    I have had an Alfine 8 setup for nearly 3 years now, and have ridden it in all conditions and it hasnt missed a beat. However, I am fully aware that I could completely wreck it within a month if I rode it like a derailleur setup. As a result, I only ever ride with it when the weather turns nasty...

    2010 SingleSpeed World Championship NZ!!!!!!!!

    Mmmm. here's a thought. I am making alot of assumptions here, but lets assume there will be 4 beer shortcuts. Now if there are 900 riders and 1/2 of those riders take the beer shortcut on 2 of the 4 shortcuts, thats at least 900 beers on the course. Bare minimum. If I was the organiser I...

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

    The good HID lights are probably about 10-15% brighter than the Ayups, but considering the prices, burntime and weight of the system, it is easy to forget the this difference when you are out in the bush 40km from home with 1000m of climbing to get home.

    I'll vouch for the AY-UP lights, as I have been a test bunny for the last year or so, and have seen first hand the amount of R & D that has gone into this system. They should be on sale mid March. Visit www.ayup.com.au
