Hey guys, I've had a Toshiba Satellite (~$2300 when purchased) for the last two years: being used for uni assignments, watching dvd's, occasional trolling, collating music and pictures. Its running XP, but is vista compatable, so it is one of the later generations of XP. There's stil a stack...

Hello all. Ive come across a set of Magura Marta SL's, and they need to be bled. Of course they dont run DOT fluid, its a mineral oil.... ...but will using Shimano mineral oil instead of "Magura blood" mineral oil damage any of the components or effect the performance of the brake? I...

So heres how the story goes. I was on my way to go and finish building my new bike, and i had my rear juicy five in the boot of my car. Cut the story short. A car battery tipped over, and spilled hydrochloric acid all over the brakeset. Yes, i washed it copiously with water as soon as...

Ok, so I've aquired a Fox Vanilla RC rear shock, and the thread from where the preload ring screws into the piggyback resivour (?sp) cast end was loose, and there is no oil in the main shaft. How should I go about rebuilding it (Im fine with rebuilding shocks, I've done plenty of forks...

Ok, this is not your average question... i'm chasing some tech opinion. I run a singlespeed RM Flow (73mm BB shell, vertical dropouts) with a 13-25 gearing, the 25t being on a Truativ Luftalarm Disc with 1/3 bashplate. I also like to sprocket grind! So the problem lies in the chain tension...

Just a quick one... Im attempting to justify the possible switch from Marzocchi DJ1 (2003) to Pikes, so I'm wondering if anyone has a weight on the Marzocchi? Im hoping to balance my front end of my RM Flow, and I'm not terribly harsh on my equiptment... Marzocchi site doesnt list it...

I was running a Shimano Deore Caliper on my old forks (Pyslos and Dukes) and it worked fine... as they fitted the direct mount (6" ISIS) on the caliper. (BRM-555's dont use an adaptor...) Now my dillemma is I am now running DJ1's (2003, 20mm Bolt-Thru) and there seems to be about 7mm of space...

Alright, over 14 months this is the evolution of my Merida Speed, after starting with a Full-LX Groupset XC bike, and the beast is almost finished! Just waiting on a new front hub so I can bolt my Dukes back on! Goes well in street, light DH, 4X, and even the odd trail bashing! Apologies for the...

Gday, I recently got myself a wheelset of Rhynolites laced to a Deore rear and Formula 20mm front hub. So, having run 9mm QR Axles on the front and rear before, i needed to change my fork (Duke Race 03 => Psylo XC 01) but now my bike rides like a pig with the geometry and weight change, so i was...

Ive Just been attempting wall rides and am having trouble getting much further than a foot and a half in lenght or so, on sloped and perpindicular walls, with and without kickers. Is it purely a case of boosting in towards the wall on an angle, throwing the wheels on then off again and hopeing...

Their both eyeletted... Similar Width and construction. Is there any real difference between the two? Little Mike
