    $4000 car. Rav4 or similar

    Owned a 2003 Subaru Forester X. Had head gasket issues. Two other people at work with Foresters had the same issue. Subaru's solution was to add coolant conditioner to prevent leaks (similar to Bar's Leaks). It worked, but ended up clogging the radiator. The engine also suffered from piston slap...

    New XT.

    Smitsone, is the chain damaged? The chain looks suspect at the point where it is staring to lift off the chain ring. Are you using a quick link. Is it fully seated?

    New XT.

    There is something strange happening with the link in the chain where the chain is starting to lift off the chainring. The chain looks to be mis-joined. Are you using a quick link? The quick link may not be fully seated & tensioned.

    2015 Giant Reign owners

    My opinion may be wrong, but it still looks like a defect. If it is there by design, it looks like a band aid fix to remedy clearance issues when rear suspension is at full travel.

    I saw a brand new Reign Advanced 1 (carbon main frame) & Reign 1 (aluminium main frame) at a bike shop in Melbourne. The Reign Advanced 1 had a long dent in the middle. The Reign 1 had a dent lower down to the right. Poor quality control in my opinion.

    Dirt jumps at Lysterfield Lake (sanctioned by Parks Victoria) Just below the dam wall at Lysterfield lake there are some table top dirt jumps. To be honest they are not great, but if you bring a spade along & shape the jumps they could be fantastic. As a bonus there is a good little pump...
