    Going clipless

    I used to ride flats, then spent years clipped in and in the last year or so gone back to flats and love it, good pedals and 5/10's and I'm as fast as being clipped and it just feels more natural, let your riding do the talking if mates are giving you stick.. Ride to Live charity ride...

    Bike carrier

    Fox- is it just the short way of saying 'sub-standard suspension'?

    I only ride fox because that's what my bike came with and I must admit I was encouraged by the "rave" reviews in the media about the new 36's... But in reality they were very average performing even after a rebuild. The Mtb industry has become driven by marketing instead of performance, it...

    Sram 1x11 problems

    Just because a hanger looks straight it doesn't mean it is straight, especially with 11spd as it only needs to be a bee's dićk out and it can effect shifting, so maybe get your LBS to stick an alignment tool on it, also use a good quality gear outer housing and inner cable, if the lining on the...

    Bad Advertising (National DH Round Toowoomba and so on)

    There's still an enduro series? I must admit I never hear of any races until it's either a few days out or already past.. That could be due to my lack of social media presence though..

    Is trail etiquette dead?

    I ride in SEQ and have noticed that trail etiquette has seriously gone down hill in the last few years, I think there's a few reasons, maybe it's the roadies jumping ship to MTB, maybe it's the strava run culture, who knows... I have noticed that it's not the same when riding in NZ though, seemed

    Van or Ute

    If you look at delicas get them fully checked over, go petrol if you can if your looking a diesel check that the head is good as well as regular service, see if the fuel pump has been done and that the over flow bottle for the radiator is in good nick, as when they go the dollars to fix is $$$$...

    Dropper posts - where to start?

    I thought about that hence why there's a rubber spacer lining the plastic and tested to see what would happen, just moved the dirt without any sign of scratching. I'm 100% confident that no scratching will occur and hasn't since I put it on at the start of the year, it hasn't moved to date

    Dropper posts - where to start?

    Hence why I made this out of a reflector bracket, stops it from dropping all the way (I only ever needed to drop 50mm) and if it loses pressure again I just loosen the screw and slide it down..
