    Bike recalls

    Just discovered a comprehensive list of the bike products recalled in Australia over the last 10 - 15 years. Worth a look over. https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls/browse-all-recalls?search=Bicycle+&sort_by=search_api_relevance Found 2 which almost applied to the contents of my shed. Just...

    Dropper posts and workstands. What's your approach?

    Back in the day you just clamped your bike into a workstand by the seat post. Now you can't. What's your solution?

    Ghetto tubeless inflator

    I needed to inflate a non-tubeless tyre that wasn't seating with a track pump. The compressor I usually have access to wasn't available. I could have gone and spent $160+ on a Bontrager Flash Charger or a home compressor of my own but I'm too much of a tight wad. Inspired by the 2L coke bottle...

    Road pedals for a MTBer

    I've been doing a bit of road riding to supplement the riding in general. I started with my MTB shoes and some Ultegra level pedals that accept MTB SPD cleats (the A600's). Then saved a bit of weight by going to some road shoes and Look Keo Classic pedals. I don't mind the feel of the Looks once...

    Lily camera

    Part of me says awesome, what a great way to film a run. The other part of me says how vain do you need to be to spend $600 on a camera to film your lame-ass third-rate run that noone else is interested in? https://www.youtube.com/embed/4vGcH0Bk3hg?rel=0

    BMX / kids bike rear hub

    Need a 110mm rear hub to suit a screw on freewheel. It's for a kids bike so nothing fancy needed, as long as it's in good working order. If it happens to come with a 19 or 20T freewheel that would be even sweeter.

    Quality 1/2" pedals for kids?

    So I want to upgrade the junk on the end of my son's cranks (they're supposedly referred to as pedals, but that would be an insult to pedals in general). Looked everywhere for a 1/2" axle pedal made from alloy that isn't a huge BMX platform with spikes. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Are online forums dead?

    My local MTB forum has virtual tumbleweeds blowing through it. Rotorburn seems less active to me, I have no stats to back this up. Is everyone just trawling the facebook MTB Buy, Swap & Sell pages? Are people just sick of trolling? Are less people enthusiastic about MTBing and it's now confined...

    Suggestions please, ultra low riser bars

    After some handlebars that have less than 15mm rise but not flat. Must be at least 680mm wide, preferably wider. Not for DH use so nothing too heavy. Suggestions please.

    135 x 10 thru bolt, Hadley or similar

    Not so keen on the QR style like DT / Superstar / American Classic. Prefer a simple bolt style that doesn't weigh a ton, like a Hadley. Open to suggestions though.
