    130kg rider and suspension set up

    Yep folks, I currently weigh in on just under 130kg and started riding again recently after gaining a good 25kg. Now, the obvious question I have is whether there is someone who offers different shocks for my Felt Edict. I think it's just a matter of time before my Monarch RT3 retires...

    From Sydney to Brisbane on road bike this Christmas, anyone?

    Hi everyone, I am planning on riding from Sydney to Brisbane in the upcoming holidays. I'm looking for anyone who wants to join in. There is no set schedule, I am all open to suggestions, with the only exception: I want to sleep in hotel/motel with shared costs. Other than that,.... open...

    Road Races

    Hi, wouldn't it be nice to have a sticky of some sort that announces road races and perhaps a separate one that announces Offroad races, too? I have swapped my MTB with a Road bike permanently and am looking for some races (not so serious ones), where I can benchmark with others in the...

    Loose spoke(s)

    Okay, might seem a nerdy question, but I cannot find an answer anywhere; On my Roadie, I noticed shortly after buying the bike, that a spoke became loose all the time. Perhaps every 200km or so. Now, I realised that there are many more becoming loose and not only after 200km but after 4k's...

    New Rim for heavy rider

    Okay, I did search the threads but couldn't find the answer, hence I start a new thread; I am in excess of 100kg and ride a Mavic Crosstrail on my back which is totally stuffed. Within budget, what is a good replacement that I should get for my weight? It has to be 24 spokes and UST...

    Gamin connect substitute

    Hi, for the last twelve months I use my Garmin Edge 705 to analyze my rides. Of course only for the sake of analysing....... I was a premium user on motionbased but since motionbased had been taken over by garmin, I am missing some functions like weather details in the area, or the climbing...

    biking in Sydney

    Hi all, this is just a hypothetical question! If I would live in Sydney (in Concord West, where that Hospital is), where could/would I most likely go for biking, i.e. where are the hills, and single trails? I know Sydney only as a tourist, and have no idea whatsoever where what is...

    Crank arm magnet for Garmin Cadence Sensor!

    Hi, as I expected, I finally lost the Crank arm magnet for my Garmin GSC10. I asked my best friend 'google' to find replacement but couldn't find anything. I think, it doesn't have to be the original Crank arm magnet but it can be one from another cadence sensor. However, I can't find anything...

    (De-)Hydration

    Going to the Full Fling next week, I tested out my (fuel) consumption over a period of time. I rode about 60k's with temperatures in the mid twenties. I drank three litres of water and I was still 1.6kg lighter than before I left. So theoretically I lost a total of 4.6kg. A few weeks back I...

    How much travel is required?

    Okay, looks like another stupid question! At the moment I am riding a Cannondale Rush with 110mm travel back and front. I have set it up in a way that it 'never' bottoms out. Recently I upgraded the lefty to a heavier rider, to allow for my 114kg. This way I can run it at lower pressures (around...

    Scott 24 with over 100kg

    Hi guys, I am looking for guys who rode the 24 Scott and had at least 100kg around their hip. The reason why is because I would like to do a comparison of those riders above 100kg with their lap times. Obviously up the hill and on fast sweeping corners, the weight is detrimental. Accordingly...
