What size is the frame?

How tall are you? If you're over 6 foot, I'd seriously consider a 29er. I'm 6'3" and ride a Vassago Jabberwocky. It handles like a dream, and the big wheels roll sooooo fast and smooth over everything. I had a Bontrager Switchblade X-lite carbon fork on it for a while, but I changed over to an...

n-gear jump stop I've had good success running 1x9 using an n-gear jump stop to prevent chain drop (http://www.gvtc.com/~ngear/). They're a super simple little device, and cost bugger all. They weigh a lot less than tensioners/guides, too. I'm not sure if you can get them in Aus, but you could...

Maxxis MiMos might be worth a look. I've found that they perform well in a range of conditions, including loose/wet, but still roll really fast on hard stuff. I had Continental Vapour ProTections on my NRS 1, and they were also bloody good. They performed really well and predictably in a wide...

I reckon DT onyx hubs are well worth thinking about as an alternative to the Hopes. I've found them to be super reliable, and they're very good value for such well made hubs. They cost a fair bit more than XT, but they're fully sealed cartridge bearing hubs (like the hopes) as opposed to the...

Nice vid, man. The jumps were sick, and the trails look sweet!

The 2005 Dawg could well suit your needs. It'll pedal well (pro-pedal rear), and if you like the feel of your Hoss, it's probably not a bad idea to stick with Kona. Also, the dawg would be plenty tough for a bigger fella. If you're after something lighter and more nimble - I weigh 90kg and...

I work in a LBS down in Tassie. We've been stocking the low end Giant 2005 range for a couple of months now, and they just released the catalogue for the high end bikes. Kona also recently released their 2005 catalogue. So pretty much expect to see 2005 bike ranges in shops any time from now on.

Yeah, they're nice gloves. Only bad thing I've noticed is that there's big chunks of rubber in the middle of the snot-rag bit on the back of the thumb (on the XC gloves). Makes it hard to wipe the snoz on chilly mornings...

no-tubes rock Go for no-tubes mate, they're bloody awesome. Increased traction, a smoother ride, and pinch flats are a thing of the past (although you can still tear sidewalls - I've done this 3 times since getting no-tubes). I've been running no-tubes on my freeride bike for about 10 months...
