    Micro review: Lindarets Remount

    The remount adds a bar diameter spigot at right angles to the bars to allows you to mount dropper post remotes turned sideways, usually for better access. It sorted a problem I had with a Giant dropper post remote (small and awkward) for about $20. Super easy to put together and square away...

    Mulgoa Nature Reserve

    Took a spin through Mulgoa Nature Reserve after work yesterday hoping there might be a trail or two in there... Turns out there's quite a bit of fast flowing single track, but the best I could do to find my way around was to guess by Google Maps. Does anyone out there have a ride map?

    Where to get bulk cheap water bottles?

    Problems: 1. I lose water bottles like my dog loses hair. 2. I refuse to pay $10 for a branded BOA water bottle with 50c worth of plastic in it that shops give away at races. 3. I have no water bottles left... Where are you getting your water bottles from? I'd love a box of 20 to...

    Sidewall cuts and tubeless tyres

    Im on my second tyre in two rides. Both died from side wall cuts. Granted neither are dedicated UST tyres, Icon and RR. Both are repairable, but I think the Icons will be retired to the same box as the Ralphs. I can't trust them anymore! Anyway, without trying to sound like a bell end, my...

    Avid Elixir Pad Adjust conundrum

    Just picked up my new bike last week and it has come fitted with 2012 Elixir 9s, with the pad contact adjust. I thought, wrongly, that the pad contact adjust would allow you to reduce the amount of free stoke. Instead, it increases it! There is already heaps of lever movement with the...

    Does anyone have one of those flat giant 5deg handlebars they don't want? I want to try one out for a bit before pulling the trigger on something similar and carbon ish. They can be had new for $44 on eBay, so if you can come in under that we're on!

    Hope Hoops Pro 3 SP XC6

    Hey guys I'm considering another set of wheels for a couple of bikes. Hope Hoops Pro 3 SP XC6. These are leading the charge at the moment based on weight and price. My only concern is the spoke count. 24 spokes as opposed to 28/32. I only weigh in at 70kg so am well below the hope weight...

    DIY QR to 15mm hub conversion

    FYI interested parties... So - you have a wheelset you want to convert to 15mm but can't find a 24hole hub with a 15mm axle. I stripped a Cannondale branded DT Hugi hub with QR to get to the bearings and started measuring. A quick visit of the SKF website gave me possible bearing...

    24 spoke 15mm axle front hub?

    Anybody know if a 24 hole 15mm axle front hub exists? I've got one of these http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/02/ce/model-2FS3S.html which I'm not riding anymore and I'm looking at the wheels thinking they'd look nice on my new trance X2. Mostly cause of the proper UST facility. Which presents...
