https://www.gravelista.cc/ I'm going to do the uci gravel age ranked 120km in October with a couple of mates. Any other burners signed up?

Most of us here are middle aged, I assume, and have moved from 26 HTs with 1.95 wide tyres, through 26 trail FS with a whopping 100mm travel up to our 29 FS 150mm+ travel (some with cheater mode as well). Is all this faster wider tyred, longer travel, bigger wheeled riding roughing up the...

Two weeks to go. ICYMI in the 2022 WC DH discussion thread, you can battle it out in our own "Rotorburn league". https://www.pinkbike.com/contest/fantasy/dh/league/?leagueid=16829 Find "Farkin Burners" with the password rotorburn2022

A mate is considering having a go at mulleting his Canyon Strive. Interwebs throws up nothing (lots of Spectral mullets though). Any wise heads have insight, like does the shapeshifter nix the idea? I know Moir threw a bigger front fork on his Strive without having any issues a far as I can see...

I'm back to Giant with the new large Trance X 29" model 2. I liked the maestro suspension on my original Trance from back, I think, 2002. After 6 years on a Norco Fluid (which I love) I've gone with a Giant again for my covidpocalyse cheer me up purchase. Thanks to Bicycle superstore Mornington...

Can confirm a Patterson Lakes first time ever mtber is now $1600 poorer for traveling too far to exercise. Apparently he is going to contest it.

I'm am a WFH now, and because of my organisation it's a long day usually. I am also shit at Wheelies. So my covid-19 goal is to not be shit at them by the time this is all over. If I can stick with it I'm going to be in Delacombe Park near the guides hall at 7 each morning for a quick 10-20...

The continued Armageddon of e powered mtb today. Have others seen a e-mtber cut by a good 8 feet an UPHILL corner so they don't have to very briefly slow their cheater uphill run? Fark off and don't be creating unnecessary new trail spiders

Just read in PB about the old teamate's doping positive tests. Same drugs, old comrades, I can see the fire as well as smell the smoke. Sad days

So managed to finally damage myself mountain biking, after 20 years. Snapped my L collar bone plus a few scrapes and bruises going down cressy at the youies. I told the ED doctors I had not bumped my head as far as I knew. Looking at my helmet now I must have. It's some pretty small dings...

A work friend had his very new giant TCR Advanced 1 road bike knicked from Heatherton (Moorabin) yesterday. Medium size Green (but to me looks more yellowish). Disks The shitty but is I had big arguments with admin here before me moved in as we just consolidated to a new site. I told them...

So like the good dad I am; I took my 13 yr old daughter to lystie to add to her training pre School great Vic bike ride. Now she is ne OTB, a derby training session and two school rides of 20 and 100 kms and a week and a bit the pain isn't settling down much. The wiser wife looks into it and...

https://amylandthesniffers.bandcamp.com/track/stole-my-push-bike Apologies if this is not MTB related enuff. I figured given how often stolen pushies figure on rotorburn it fits the bill. Have a listen to the little pearler of a song, by an Aussie band, at the link...

A question posted for my friend and his fully rigid singlespeeded Niner; is it doable for the 35km stonefly loop during the Bike Buller festival? He is bringing the superfly for the other days, but likes the idea of his favbike for the 35ker. He is happy on the Niner most places including red...

Original post below, but thought I'd add my feelings on popping the new Norco's cherry today out at Lystie. I'm glad I stuck with the 120 travel fluid. Climbed as you'd expect, lurvely! Apart from clipping a couple of trees in the first few minutes while getting used to wider bars it was a super...

Item full name and model: Giant ATX 860, 1996 model (I think), poorly single speeded, Medium (19.5 inch) Location: Frankston South Item condition: frame will never die. The zocchi's are 80mm travel and work, but have not had any real loving for a long while. Single speed conversion has always...

My wife is interested in giving MTB a go. Given her past history as a gymnast in her teens, and a roller derby chick in her late thirties, very early forties (SSRD if you know derby, went by Danger Agent 99), it seems a reasonable idea. I want to find a XC duallie as a toe in the water. I...

Apogollies if these questions have been asked and answered elsewhere. Was musing to myself while surfing bike porn in light of looking at a new bike later this year and I got wondering what happened to Peter (I think) from Canberra and his Ethos brand. Sexy bikes ahead of there time in many...

Dear Female burners, I have a 13 year old who is getting into riding. We did the great vic bike ride with her school a couple of months ago and had a blast. The other day went for a quick ride but cut it short because of her period pain. She also told me she rides with both a tampon and a...
