    Shimano XC70 versus XC61

    Had some XC70's for ~2 months now. I previously had some low-end SPDs with a plastic sole. Purchased the XC70's as I was happy with the same custom-fit tech on my road SPD-SL shoes. Have only used them in two cyclocross races and a couple of quick rides on the MTB. I cannot really comment on...

    Post your 29er!

    Been a while since I posted here. Decided it was time for a change from my old Giant Reign and picked up a 2014 XTC Adv SL1 the other week. Having spent the last few years getting into road cycling, it influenced my decision to buy something better suited to riding longer distances, and the...

    Quick pic from today. Having had a Defy for a year or so, I figured it was time for an upgrade.

    'Sold' and 'Sold, Pending payment' are two different things in my eyes. SOLD now.

    Not happy with insurance repair offer. What are my options?

    This is where insurers instruct repairers to cut corners and take shortcuts to save a bit of money. Had some rear quarter damage on my car. I never saw what the repair bill was, but after two return visits, I'd be willing to bet it cost more than the "agreed value" of my car. Upon collection...

    An Open Letter To Chain Reaction Cycles

    This. As an example, why would I pay $289 for a Thomson stem at a local store when I can get it for ~$90 online? I realise there are two things to consider, one being that the shop has their overheads to pay - wages, rent, bills, a small profit for themselves and pricing is set by the...

    Giant Reign, Needing some advice

    Nope. It's an e13 G-ring. made specifically for single ring setups up front. Not advisable to use existing chainrings for a 1x setup as they have ramped teeth.

    Giant Reign, Needing some advice

    Running a 1x9 Setup on an older Reign here. 34T front, 32-11 rear. e13 XCX guide. (Chainring, guide and bolts set me back a little under $100) The only time I spin out is on a 400m sealed road back to the carpark from a trail.
