    Shock pumps

    Anyone have any recommendations for a well made reliable shock pump with gauge? I've been using a stock from the box Fox unit but the head on it has started not engaging threads properly and I'm worried about damaging the threads on my fork and shock so I'm going to move on. I was a little...

    10 speed is here

    http://www.singletrackworld.com/2010/04/shimano-dyna-sys-xt-and-slx-10-speed/ I can't say I'm sold on any of the problems that they've "solved". If you know how to shift all points seem moot. When the 9 speed supplies dry up, I'll think about it. Thoughts everyone?

    Posting frames from America

    Hey all. I have to warranty a frame that I bought in the US (damn holiday spending). Posting over is easy enough, but I have to arrange posting back as well via a mate over there. Anyone have any experience posting a frame from the USA? Which companies are the best to go for? Rough...

    My collection. MKIII, ATX DH2 and STP

    Long over due, my current collection. I consider myself pretty lucky to have so many toys. All were built to a budget for particular duties. The ATX DH predominantly came from farkins trading area, and was a few years in the build. Thanks to all those who sold me parts cheap! :) All bikes...

    Drop off tuning

    Hey all, Just got an old 2005 STP to muck with and I'm trying to work out the Drop off forks on it. When I inflate them to the recommended range for my weight, they turn into a solid brick! No movement at all. Even only running positive air and no preload they are rock hard and shite...

    My MKIII

    My new ride! Apologies for the bad camera phone photo, I dropped my digital recently so it doesn't work so well. I bought this bike in the US earlier this year after I got knocked off my previous good bike late last year. Insurance paid for most of it, and the IH MKIII Sport that I used...

    Which SPD shoe?

    G'day folks. I've already posted this in parts and stuff, but didn't get too much of a response, I hope no one mines me moving it here. I'm looking for a new set of shoes for use with my Time Z's. I'm after something soft soled that I can walk around in as they'll be used for commuting as...

    Which SPD shoe?

    What's everyone's recommendation for SPD shoes at the moment? I have a pair of Adidas at the moment that have served me well for quite a few years, but the sole is stuffed and peeling off around the toe. I've run shimanos before, which were quite good, but if I can get something even more...

    Fox vanilla 2006 internals in 2005 chassis.

    Does anyone know if Fox Vanilla 2006 internals go in a 2005 chassis? Specifically, the stantions and bushings in my 2006 RLC's are stuffed, and there are some 2005 Vanilla R's around for a good price. I'm not fussed about the spring side, but I'd like to put in the better damping cartridge...

    2004 Boxxer WC Question

    G'day all. I have just grabbed some second hand Boxxer WC's and I'm trying to decide how it all goes together. Rebound side is OK, but Compression side seems to have a hell of a lot of preload. I've pulled them appart, and they have the longer white spacer on top, and at the bottom of...

    Fox lock out broken

    G'day everyone, I've got a set of '06 Fox Vanilla RLC's which I recently changed the seals on. They worked fine for a while, but every now and then the lockout stopped working. I'd unlock, cycle the fork and then it would lockout fine. Well now it's stopped working completely. I assume...

    Melrose magazine article

    Hello everyone! I'm hoping to get some help from the MTB community! I'm heading up to Melrose, in the Southern Flinders ranges, South Australia, this weekend. I used to have an AMB magazine that had a "Places that rock" article about it, but I can't find the magazine. Is anyone with...
