    Clipless

    Potentially a really dumb question from an old timer and knowing completely nothing about clipless pedals and shoes..... does every clipless shoe fit every clipless pedal? I mean do you just pick the shoe and any pedal and it'll work?

    BMX Race Photos

    At every big race like an open or state series I see 2 or more professional looking photographers crawling all over the tracks taking snaps. Just wondering where these photos end up? Are they posted somewhere? Do they sell them? Is there a website?

    The start of ...... The End

    Quickly approaching 44yrs I've noticed that the hills are getting that little bit steeper, flats are just that little bit harder. I remember when I used to feel strong whilst busting up those steeps, but now I feel like I just barely hang on. Maybe it's just a motivational thing.. When I used...

    Just after some long term feedback on the Podium pedals specifically with regard to bearing/durability. I had a set a while back but quickly destroyed the bearings in one of the pedals. They were claimed under warranty and I moved on. Now I'm thinking about getting back on the boat and...

    How hard is it to build a wheel?

    So, how hard is it to build a wheel? Is it some VooDoo science where you've got to be an MIT grad or live in a bong to do it right? Or, is it pretty straight forward, and with the right equipment/tools and practice you can get good results. With 2 young biking kids I can see plenty of lacing and...

    Fox DHX 5.0 Air Vs Rock Shox Vivid Air

    Hi all, Been toying around with the idea of going air for the rear shock on the DH rig, either a Fox DHX 5.0 air or Vivid Air. Been trolling round the internet trying to get some feed back on the Fox shock with not much luck. I'm leaning towards the Fox DHX just because of the pro-pedal...

    Snapped Shock Mount Bolt - How to fix?

    Hi, I've just discovered I've snapped the rear shock mount bolt. The only problem is that it's snapped right in the middle. So now I've got play in the shock and can't take the shock off as half the bolt is holding the shock in. Just wondering if anyone's had this experience or know how...
