    My experience with Canyon

    I've had a Giant Boulder, a Giant Trance X2, a Santa Cruz Blur, then a Rocky Mountain Element, followed by a Giant Reign Advanced (some I've owned in parallel). Some of my builds, the Rocky with full XTR and Enve, have kissed $10k. I've also thrown mates towards the same LBS. Best buying...

    My experience with Canyon

    So, a good news story. I have three boys aged 8, 6 and 3. Somehow, I managed to convince the good Wife to buy a quality MTB for the boys noting it will go through 3 of them. They can ride with Dad, usual grovel.. After looking around, I settled on a XS ladies Canyon Neuron 5.0 AL in matte...

    Torn ligament in ankle

    Not medical advice, however, I fell off a few years back. Did a great job of my ankle - including a fracture just to top things off. I used an indoor trainer and that helped immensely. It allowed me to progressively add pressure and regain my range of movement. This was combined with some...

    Bell Super 2 MIPS sizing, stockist in SE Melbourne?

    I went from a Bell Volt to a Super 2 MIPS - both large, both comfortable. I tried a Super 2 (non MIPS) on and don't notice much difference between that and the MIPS version. I'm in the North East if you get stuck for one to try - MTB direct have a good returns policy as well.

    Which tyres for 29XC

    Known as RoRo's and RaRa's for a reason. I run a RoRo front and RaRa rear in snakeskin. They have been good to me and I have tried nearly everything.

    27.5 , 29 or just stick with 26

    Replaced my 26 SC Blur XC with a RM Element 29 - both had basically the same components. Element is way better in the switchbacks. I also have a 27.5 Giant Reign. It depends on the bike, setup, trails and rider IMO.

    Santa Cruz 5010

    Very tidy; I went from a Blur XC to a Rocky 970 Element. Blur was fast, however, things have moved on. Enjoy!

    Melbourne dualie MTB hire

    Try Yarra Valley Cycles - bit of a haul to You Yangs from there though. Other alternative is Lysterfield - a couple of blue / black runs there. Other riding options are further afield.

    The Smiths Gully Thread

    Bit of a grave dig. Went for a burn through here today; nice change from Han's. Two things stood out, the gravel is loooosssee and the horse chit is out of control!! That aside, good day.

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    I've got the same issue with a cover on the way. Is it as simple as removing the two screws, pulling the shift window and bolting on the cover? Looked that way on the inter web.
