I suspect this has happened to my HT's Leaky lever It used to hang in the roof of the shed and my meticulously cleaned and bled brake would start squealing like a bastard for no apparent reason when ever I dusted it off for a ride, did notice one time some spots of oil on the fork leg and...

While I really like my Ripmo AF, at times I feel it's a little too plush and rides a bit low in the rear travel, it does have 175mm cranks so I could go shorter there to help with that. Was thinking of messing around with volume spacers (DVO Topaz) but last night discovered there's a Cascade...

Bought a set of MT7's from Fastrider Gus early this year, and have gathered a few other upgradey bits since then. Extracted the digit today and fitted up the front brake, I've been holding off a bit due to some conflicting forum posts elsewhere, re which hose/barb/olive combo works. That and...

Item: Shimano Deore 4 piston brakes Location: Perth/Bunno, WA Item Condition: new AF Reason for selling: Surplus from new Ripmo AF, never fitted to bike, still in OEM packaging (aka plastic bag) I used a Zee brake set I already had. Price and price conditions: $300 + post Extra Info: BL-6100...

:D me new Ripmo AF was waiting at the shop, albeit in kit form. As I dozed off on the plane travelling home from FIFO on Friday I had delusions of having it ready to ride by COB. Got to the shop early arvo and opened the boxes, I see an X01 crankset box. Huh ? I ordered the Deore...

Muh Dartmoor Primal has a 66 deg. head angle, and I'm looking to get a 140 - 160mm fork to swap out for the current underforked 130mm. Have any of youse had a chance to feel the difference for yourselves ?

I only recently learnt WTF a bunion is.....I bunionised my left foot last April with a high powered 'dab' that saved an out of control moment from becoming a pretty nasty stack. Rolled out of it nearly passing out from intense pain and did several more runs. Had Giro Riddance flat specific shoes...

Two rounds (Qatar cancelled, Thailand postponed) already affected by the Corona virus. Will COVID-WTF trash this years MotoGP calendar ? I hope not, from a spectator point of view the senior class has been getting steadily better over the last two years. Jack Miller had a good test at Qatar, I...

A shitload of gear ripped off from some good people RNR Suspension Specialists robbed

Item: Altrex Skinz invisible paint protection film Purchased From: Supercheap Auto Purchase Price (approx): $60 Usage: Protecting the frame from scuffs and scratches Pros - cheaper than purpose made kits, easier to find than 3M Heli tape, can be cut to fit all sorts of shapes, thick and tough...

I dunno if AM is really the right genre but it's the closest to Trail so yeah..... Snapped up a frame from the recent clearance sale, bought a few used bits from 'Burners, fork is the OEM 130mm from my Fuel EX. Probably sell it and get another Trace 36 set at 140mm (frame suits 140-160...

I've never owned one because I don't get punctures :p are they worth having ? what's the best way to buy cartridges - they seem quite expensive

If a person wanted to buy some Boost cranks, it seems the only choice is SRAM. Maybe some of boutique brands have offerings but I'm not keen to cough up $400 for blingy Hope et al cranks that are going to get battered. I like the cost effectiveness of Shimano cranks along with their simplicity...

With the intention of using it to build my jumping skills and get my legs working on a pump track. What's good vs shithouse in DJ bikes ? I just saw a used Black Market bike pop up for sale, can't see much from the pics supplied other than it has a thru axle on the (Marzocchi ?) fork and the...

So I was looking at a couple of Shimano cranksets I have in my parts box and I remembered reading something about you can use non Boost cranks on Boost frames in some instances. The cranks and BB fit ok in the Primal frame but chainline is a bit off. The tabs for the middle and outer chainrings...

Some unedited GoPro footage from practice, the squeaking noise is coming from the new Trace fork, will have to get the lowers off for a look. It seems to be working very nicely apart from that. ‘Little Miss Enduro’ at Linga Longa bike park ‘Valley of Dreams/Mirkwood’ at Linga Longa bike park

This prolly belongs in the Fuckwits and/or Stupid questions threads but I couldn’t decide so here goes o_O Changed the volume spacer the other day, had a bit of difficulty doing the air can back up. Went for another change and spotted the end of this poking up from below the nut where the shaft...

So I've had two days riding at Linga Longa since the weekend and really liking the Trace 36mm fork. But it's got all these extra knobs and farked if I know how much compression damping is enough, I just put a few clicks on from minimum and concentrated on getting the air pressure and rebound...

Inspired by rowdyflats thread, I thought of what I’d like to get better at - jumps. Some people make it look so fricken easy,

Partially inspired by k3n!f's post about his big off... Who rides alone ? do you think about what would happen if you had a big stack ? Do you put off a ride if you can't round up some company ? This morning I was stoked to have done a bigger (by my standards) drop off than I usually tackle...
