I went to order some 5.10 shoes off Mountain Bikes Direct the other week but couldn't due to a distinct lack of sizes. My local climbing gym has had to stop carrying there climbing shoes because they can't get them in. Does anyone know what the local retail situation is? I've heard Adidas may...

My 5.10 Freerider XVIs that I've had for many years are just about dead. I see that 5.10 no longer make them so what's a suitable replacement? What I liked about them is that they're comfy and can be worn casually.

Does anyone have any experience building home servers? I need to store Music and Blu-ray rips, keep files synchronised between computers and backup to the server. All I know is that I will need >20TB of storage. Clients are mainly Windows 7 with the exception of a Mac Mini. I'm not planning on...

Just wondering if anybody else encountered a "server is too busy. Please try again later" message this morning.

I've been out of the market for a little while. Saw this ad and I've got two questions. Is this what it's worth? Will I be able to pedal it? I'm considering making an offer for $1800.

Any body else on here a climber? I've was climbing semi-regularly last year and I'm looking to get back into it on a regular basis. I'm at a grade 15-16 climbs wise. I've decided I should invest in a harness and some shoes. What should I be looking for in entry level to mid range gear? Which...

Ended up buying it off eBay. Sucker paid $25. Item: Sram X0 10 speed barrel adjuster bolt. Willing to pay $10 or so posted to Rotorua, NZ. I bent the bolt in the left of the image in a crash and need to replace it. They're $10 or so online but shipping is heaps. They will fit in an envelope and...

Just a suggestion, I don't know if it's worth it or not but having a travel forum rather than travel related threads ending up in general MTB discussion. Maybe with custom headers related to the destination too? eg NZ, Canada, Europe. It could make it easier for people to find threads related to...

Hi I'm looking at getting a downhill bike brought over to Queenstown for me in January. Is there anyone coming over in Jan who wouldn't mind carrying it with them. I'll pay for excess baggage and can provide brews as well. Anyone who wouldn't mind doing this for me? Cheers, Wes

See post below for problems. I discovered some bent teeth on my cassette so I've decided to replace it and the chain. I'm running a 1x10 on an X0 shifter with type II short cage der. I think I'm going to go with an XT cassette and chain, will this run sweet on my current set up? What I'm stuck...

Hi All, I'm having some issues with my Elixir 3s. The levers sit way to far off the bars, I've wound the little hex reach adjust in as far as it would go but they're still massively out. Is there too much fluid in the system? Is there a way I can easily let it out to get the levers a lot closer...

Hi All, This is likely a dumb question but I find it damn infuriating and near impossible to remove the rear wheels on both my bikes with Avid drive trains. Recently I've been fighting with X0 on my Lapierre Shameless plug, check it out here! Is there a trick (apart from removing the chain and...

See this post below for the further story. Here's my Lapierre Spicy I just bought off a fellow burner, mostly his spec apart from changed bars and wheels. I might swap the brakes out for some Shimanos at some point too. Haven't been out on it properly yet but it's a blast to ride. Spec is...
