Re Ride Sports: Have you bought from them recently? I've been tempted by their Hutchinson tyres but was put off by the many stories of them failing to deliver.

Rotorburners,
I'm selling my Kona Supreme Operator, Large frame after badly breaking my arm a couple of weeks ago. The bike is about as close to brand new as you are ever going to get if buying used. It has done one very easy club race at Kowen in Canberra, about 6 pushed laps of...
Seam Grip
I've had good success fixing big holes in all manner of tyres with glue called Seam Grip. You can get it at camping/outdoor shops. For sidewall tears you can stitch back up with heavy thread and then coat with the glue. For punctures that are just slightly too big to seal up with...

Also, check the inside of the rim for anything on the bead hooks that could be preventing a tight fit. A while back, Stans rims were known to have a little build up of weld slag at the joint that...
Big units need a big unit
I reckon you're best off choosing frame sizes based on top tube length in the usual way. Don't be put off if the bike looks big - you are pretty tall after all! A big frame won't make much difference at all to being top heavy - that's mostly determined by bb height and...
G'day Jono,
Just wondering how tall you are and what length cranks you are/were using when you were having trouble with feet hitting wheels? I just bought one of the lucky last Mobs (they are going cheap at chainos right now) and am about to build it up. I'm 6'4" and got the 22.5" frame. I was...
Ha har. This is a great thread.
My closest (and funniest) encounter was on the commute home on the bike path a couple of years ago. Was travelling with some speed and came around a corner to see a brown on the path. I hesitated for a moment as I tried to decide whether to bunny hop it or...
Some of the 'soft' armour is getting pretty good. Light, comfortable, flexible and offer good protection. I've been using POC VPD and Race Face Ambush pads and am impressed. They are great for AM riding and burley XC and it sounds like you could be a good candidate for similar gear. Riding with...
