    Tightening rotor bolts

    Am putting a disc rotor onto a wheel and the rotor bolts I have are slightly different to what I have seen previously. What do you use to tighten these ones? They are not avid but are the same shape. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=20302

    Putting tyres on DT Swiss rims

    I have a set of DT Swiss X430 on the xc dually and am having huge amounts of problems with putting tyres on (and off). I am converting to stans no tubes and trying to get the tires on and off is requiring large amounts of force with tyre levers. I have used Schwalbe Nobby Nic, Specialized...

    Metal tyre levers?

    After spending 15 minutes wrestling a DT Swiss Rim + Specialized tubeless tyre on the weekend I did some searching to see if others had had similar problems with DT Swiss rims and tubeless. The most I found was by accident while on the notubes website and Stan mentions in one of his...

    Scott solo entry fee

    $180....eeep racing seems to be costing more and more each year. Was last year $150? At $150, I always thought it was a lot of cash at $180 I am reconsidering....although there is not much option if you want to race.

    Norco VFR 1 availability???

    I have been looking for a 2007 VFR 1 as a replacement for my stolen commuter. I have been to 3 shops that stock Norco and at the third (bike depot) they advised there are none in the country. Does anyone know of a shop in Sydney that has a size 20 in stock? I really don't want to have to...

    Anthem 0 or Spark 10 or something else?

    After having my Genius RC10 stolen I am debating what to replace it with. For insurance purposes the Spark 10 is the replacement bike but am thinking that this could be better spent, although I really like the Spark, perhaps I change to a Spark 30. So my questions are 1 - with $7500.00...

    Beaurepairs suck

    Dropped my car in at Beaurepairs for 4 new tyres this week. The store have destroyed the exhaust system. Repair costs for the new system are $700+. Not surprisingly the tyre store are denying doing ANY damage to the car. BASTARDS!

    XC rider opinions on Spinergy Xyclone Disc Wheelsets

    Following on from the AC wheelset thread, what do you think of the Spinergy wheels and the PBO spokes. I asked this same question on 26inches but am interested in as many opinions as possible. Am seriously thinking of buying the spinergy wheels and would like to hear any feedback from users...

    XTR M960 Middle 32T Chainring

    Anyone know where I can get one. Shimano are on backorder. Have called Phantom, BA, BBF, Chatswood, Cyclery, Woolys, Dean Woods, Cecil Walker all without any luck.... Anyone know a shop (in Australia) that has a middle 32T (with a 22T Granny) ring in stock?

    Spinergy Xyclone Wheels

    Anyone used these? They seem like a good wheelset (cross country riding / racing is what I want them for). Have read a lot of good reviews on MTBR. Is there a local importer? I know Torpedo 7 have them for $750 - $800 do you think thats a good price? Thanks

    Rogers and Tuqiri

    http://www.rugbyheaven.smh.com.au/articles/2006/11/30/1164777729029.html Let Rogers go early I reckon. Wouldn't have a problem if Tuqiri went too. Get rid of some of the old blood I reckon. Build for a team now, we aren't going to make the 2007 WC final anyway, so blood some new players...

    New chain ring - but which one?

    Am trying to learn how to fix my own bike. Have had some chain skip recently and snapped a chain. My new chain arrived today and I was advised to replace the cassette and chainring if needed. Both are worn and need replacing. The cassette is no problem as I can order a XT one. I am not...
