    Ampt Engineering - Ti pedals

    New boutique pedal in the works. Worked with Pat a while back. Great enginere, engeneer, engeneer, he's good with math, so I reckon these will be the business. https://www.instagram.com/amptengineering/

    Garage doors

    Need a sectional door for the shed. Is a B&D worth all the extra coin over a Taurean? Been quoted $6k for the B&D (includes install) compared to $4337 for the Taurean with a B&D opener (delivered, no install)

    New hobby - gold panning

    After a visit to Sovereign Hill a while back I took the son out to the local creek as he wanted to see if we could find gold for real instead of panning it out of the creek in Sovereign Hill (they regularly put gold in it for the punters to find). I talked it down a fair bit saying it'll be a...

    "And that's a wrap!"

    Anyone done this to their bike? Plenty of clear protective films on the market but this is the first I've seen a full bike wrap to change the color. Not sure how durable it would be, probably need a protection kit over the top. Seen a few guys on here do the whole DIY paint job that turn out...

    #1 gets gears

    The boy has been starting to really enjoy riding a few of the flatter trails around Ballarat but has been struggling on the uphills (inherited his dad's skinny legs). This popped up on FB marketplace for a pineapple and I figured what the hell? Got it home, gave it a tune up and went out and...

    Banter/discussion ratio and site rules

    This is an opinion/ suggestion post, which I'm not super comfortable about, but lets have at it anyways. Firstly, I enjoy a bit of banter mixed in with the actual discussion as much as anyone, it helps keep the forum ticking over with a certain level of entertainment, and I like that...

    Bar width - how wide is too wide?

    Just watched this and found it kind of interesting. How does everyone here work out what width to run? I know bars have gotten a hell of a lot wider since I used to race and it was something I wanted to change back in the day. Coming from a dirtbike background, I always felt like it was...

    No more lifted runs at Buller.

    I'm guessing there was some kind of incident to trigger this? Had some great rides there... Wonder if some kind of shuttle setup can be worked out eventually. Tracks still open, but sounds like it's now a diy job to get back to the top. :(

    DH Specialized BigHit Pro

    So this was my first DH bike that I bought a looong time ago... Went along to a DH race in the Youies with some mates and thought, "this looks like fun"! Pretty much bought the first DH rig I looked at (dumb, but gotta start somewhere right). Picked up the BigHit and headed off to my first DH...

    NuVinci CVP Hub

    I've been waiting for these things to come onto the market for quite a while. It's a constantly variable transmission built into a rear hub, with a 350% range in ratios (for reference the Nexus 8sp hubs have a 307% range) It all sounded pretty good until I read the size & weight of the unit...

    Mt Beauty Fires (Buller shown too)

    Is there anyone on here from Mt Beauty that can tell us if the DH track is burnt out? It looks pretty bad according to this map from the CFA website: (Mt Beauty is located top right of the map)

    Avid compression fitting & hose tail

    :mad: :mad: :mad: Will not come apart! I ended up cutting it off, melting the remaining hose out of it & it still wont seperate. It's farked now & I need a new one. Does anyone have the secret of getting these little bastards apart, or is it just plain impossible?
