    Santa Cruz, Nomad/ Blur LT Vs Yeti, ASR 7/ 575

    So on a recent trip to Verbier, a mixture of fast singletrack and very technical trails (rocky, steep, tight, exposed, all the good stuff) a Blur LT and Nomad coped well, a 575 was a little out of its depth on the really tech, noggin tweaking stuff. I think the 575 would be great for trails...

    gear indicator

    If it is like the old x9 stuff then all it is a bit of plastic that engages a small cog inside the shfter so a simple thing to have a look at and fix but as the other fellow here says do you ever look at the indicator? None of the new X9 stuff has an indicator and it never bothers me.

    Kona Stinky and Rocky Mountain

    If you're thinking of dropping the cash on an RM over in OZ then it's also worth considering the Knolly DT or V-tach if you want something with a bit more beef, still hand made in good old BC as well as over the border in the US.

    The open ended tyre question...

    Some semi-slicks could be worth looking at especially if it's mainly hardpack / dust. Side knobs will still give you traction around the corners whilst the semi-slick will give you the speed over the hardpack/dust

    EARPHONES MEGATHREAD - All questions on earphones for riding asked and answered here

    I would not use earphones if you're on the road as the lack of background perception is not that helpful in avoiding death! However, if you want a pair to isolate yourself from the outside world and get you in the zone if you're sessioning steet, DJs etc then I'd look at Shure e2C and e3C as a...

    Clipless pedals on northshore bridges

    Another quality and useful Farkin post! Wade, Richey, Robbie, Vanderham, Bas, Bearclaw etc must all pussies also because they too ride flats and not only just for "freestyle", besides I thought we were in the "freeriding" section of the discussion forum? This flats V clips debate does not...

    Clipless pedals on northshore bridges

    Flats all the way, I also run them on the commuter, can't see the joy of being attached to a speeding hulk of metal, especially of you go riding woodwork.
