Couldn't find a thread for this, hope I'm not just blind. So, who's in? Distances? And for any locals, the weather forecast is looking.........interesting. How do the trails hold up to some rain?

A "puncher" is someone who performs the act of punching. A "puncture" is an air leak from a pneumatic tyre system. "Decent" means of an acceptable standard. "Descent" means going down. As in mountain biking. The other type of going down is "cunnilingus". "Break" refers to rendering...

Item: 24" hardtail MTB for my daughter. Location: Melbourne Price range/Willing to Pay: A surprisingly large amount.... Extra Info: She's 9yo, too big for the 20" Giant, too small for a 26". Most of the 24" MTBs out there are shit. Bolt up axles, crappy gripshift, coil forks that weigh a...

I ride a ?2009 Trek Paragon I bought second hand, it has Fox F29 100mm forks on it. Had them apart for an oil change today, and the stanchion on the air side looks pretty ordinary, the gold finish is worn through and are some vertical marks that match the pattern of the bushing. Also, despite...

The story begins here in NUTTRs garage sale thread, a nice bargain SLX crankset is listed. A number of people express a wish to buy the cranks in the thread. ChopSticks PMs and arranges to buy the cranks. For $30 I understand (someone else will remember the exact price). The same cranks...

Just spent a good week staying with family up at Dinner Plain. In my mind, I am a hard core, back country bikepacking adventurer. The reality is quite a bit tamer. Anyhoo, had big plans of big rides on remote tracks. Sort of achieved. First long ride went down Dinner Plain track, then...

So I put a spare x9 10 speed derailleur on my son's bike, lot's of weird noises and chain skipping type issues, turns out the bottom jockey wheel is completely munted. Got a big crack through it, teeth waaaaaaay worn, and it is running at a strange out of perpendicular angle. Have looked for...

Anyone else doing the Double Cross event tomorrow? Not really an XC race, I know, but I suspect a few may be racing. I will be there, riding a 29er very slowly. PLanning on giving the Thunder Burts their first hit out, hope it's not too muddy.

Absalon. Amazing. Really enjoyed that race, watching Schurter and Absalon side by side up the climb. The BMX section downhill. Anyone know what happened to Dan Mc? Saw him get a puncture early, and then he is listed as a DNF?

So I have pulled apart my Fox F29 G2 forks to replace the oil and seals, all going well until I look up the oil volume table on the fox site. I bought the bike second hand, don't know what year it is. Problem is depending on year and type, it either takes 30ml or 160 ml in the damper side. Any...

Most of you will know Dozer, an honourable fairhanded, knockabout Aussie mountainbiker who moderates on Rotorburn. What you may not know is that Dozer is suffering persecution at the hands of his bogun Neighbours. On a daily basis he is exposed to appalling personal hygiene, bad driving...

Heads up on Channel 1, XC MTB. Aussies should do well, interested to see what the course looks like.
