    Dakine Hellions

    Looking for anyone who's got the Hellion knee guards.. how do you find them to pedal in? I'm tossing up between them and Slayers but I prefer the added protection of the hellion provided you can climb back to the top comfortably in them. I wouldn't be doing xc rides in them, just for burlier...

    Solar... who's clued in?

    So I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a solar PV system at home. Have spent the past few weeks reading, e mailing and talking to so many sources my head is spinning. It's a really strange industry, seemingly flooded with cheap and nasty companies just trying to undercut each other in...

    Post Cyclone Post

    My thoughts go out to all those suffering through the aftermath of Hurricane Debbie, I hope you're keeping safe and are managing somehow to see the light at the end of the tunnel!! My problem in comparison isn't worth a mention.. but I'll mention it anyway. I sent my forks up to NSD in Annerly...

    Accuracy of Strava vs Suunto, Garmin etc?

    I'm not a big strava head, so I don't know if this is easily explained or not.. but I went for a leisurely ride with a mate on Saturday, doing the extended main loop at Wombat. We rode together, and finished where we started. I had strava on my phone in my pocket, he wore his Suunto Ambit 2...

    SPD vs. Eggbeaters

    For all mountain riding, what do you prefer - Spd or eggbeater clipless designs? I've only ridden Spd, and while I don't have any major concerns, there are a couple of things that bug me. Occasionally I feel like I'd like a bit more float, but I do like the crisp snap on engagement you get with...

    Shimano bleed block mods?

    This isn't a new issue, but bled brakes again yesterday and it reminded me to ask. Using a bleed block on my XT's and always get a really firm crisp result. However, once pads are installed and they clamp down onto a rotor, that same feeling isn't maintained. I'm considering sanding a block...

    GPS watch to measure vert?

    Hey, I'm after a watch that measures your vertical. I don't really care about heart rate but whatever features it has, I'm after vert and potentially elevation. To be used for riding and skiing. Anyone know of a good product for around $300 or less?

    Camper Vanning NZ advice?

    I have recently been awarded a FULL GREEN LIGHT (this is a big deal in my world) to go ski Japan in summer without the family. Amazeballs. I was thinking of switching it up to do maybe 4 days of shredding pow, and then 4 days riding nz on the way home - a lay over if you will. Nice way to break...

    Tommy tape for tubeless?

    Yo, I have a couple rolls of Tommy Tape self fusing silicone tape laying around, 25mm width, and wondering if this stuff would work to set up tubeless or if I need to buy a thicker adhesive tape? Have heard gorilla tape is pretty good, if I did a tight double wrap of tommy tape would it provide...

    Carbon - frame or wheel set?

    Yo, currently stockpiling for an upcoming build from scratch. I'm a fan of Carbon frames, my last 2 have been plastic and I've had no issues. You can definitely feel the difference, across weight, stiffness and efficiency, but to what extent I can't really remember as its been a few years since...

    New Lyrik opinions?

    Looking into a new 160mm fork, and am considering the new Lyrik. At 150 grams heavier than a pike, but with increased stiffness and reportedly better small bump sensitivity over the pike but with otherwise almost identical performance it seems like a pretty good package for trail duties. I'm...

    Import Duties querie

    Hey all, I have a friend coming from the US, and for various reasons he's going to send his bike over ahead of time rather than bring it with him. He works in an outdoor adventure store over there, so he'll be packing his frame into a bike box and splitting the rest up in another as it's...
