I've got a Fox RP2 (Boost valve) rear shock that seems to have lost its rebound dampening, or at least its gone "off". I first noticed it when I found myself getting bucked forward when trying to pump over small rollers at speed. The rear of the bike would lift off the ground! I fiddled with...

I'm thinking about upgrading my wheels, with the objectives of going tubeless (UST or Stans) and loosing rotational weight. My bike is a 2011 Giant Trance X2 and I'm running Maxxis Ardent 2.25 front and Ikon 2.2 rear. I've noticed the 2.25 looks "awkward" on my standard Giant wheels (19mm...

I've decided to take the plunge and try servicing my Fox 32 F125 forks (came on my 2011 Giant Trance X2). I've already got the (newer) Fox 32 replacement seal kit but I need to source some suspension oil. Fox recommends "Fox Green 10 wt." oil. Should I pay the extra for Fox branded oil or am...

Bit of background: I'm looking for a dry weather tyre that will be well suited to Mt Stromlo for my Trance X2 (2011). My current tyres are the stock Nevegal 2.1 but I'm finding them so-so in the loose dirt over hard pack (front washes out a fair bit). I also want to try DYI tubeless (ghetto) and...

I'm looking at buying a bleed kit for Avid and have noticed that the ones on Ebay are less than half the price of what CRC charges for the official kit. The only obvious difference is the lack of a bleed block. All the instructions I've found on the web say to use a bleed block but I was...

Recently got a new bike with Elixir 5 brakes. The rear disc rubs slightly on the inside surface and the lever is a bit tighter than the front one. Shining a light up the brake pads I can see the disc is closer to the inside pad than the outside one. I attempted to realign the brake following...
