    Why motorists dislike cyclists...

    I mostly ride MTB but also a bit of road. When I ride road I usually ride with a mate of mine and we will generally ride side by side coz we don't take this shit too seriously and we'll have a bit of a chat as we ride. As soon as a car comes up behind us we simply drop into single file, the...

    Hole in Red Fire rim

    Cheers everyone for your replies, my mind (and clacker) is now at ease. The hole is in the section of the rim near the spoke holes and doesn't affect the sealing of the tyre. Makes sense when you think about it to allow expanding/contracting etc. Thanks again.

    Hole in Red Fire rim

    Hi all, I have just recently bought a Fulcrum Red Fire wheel set which I imported from an online store in the UK. When I unpacked the wheels, I noticed a 3mm hole in the side wall of each rim. Can anyone tell me if this hole is meant to be there? The rims are sealed (tubeless) and I've...

    Where to buy 888 firm spring

    Does anyone have any idea where I can get a firm spring for a Marzocchi 888 RC3 Evo V.2 fork. 2013. NS Dynamics are out of stock and a World Wide Web search has so far turned up donuts! If not I'll wait till NSD get stock. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Upgrade from 3x9 to 3x10, do I need new cranks?

    I'm currently upgrading my 2006 Reign from 3x9 to 3x10. I'm hoping to get away with using the original Race Face XC triple crankset but I'm not sure this will be compatable with 10 speed? Can I just put new 10 speed chain rings on the crankset or will the spacing not be right?? If it can't be...

    Trail tires?

    Tyres I highly recommend Maxxis Advantage. I use the 2.25 wire bead on Flow EX rims tubless, on my Reign and I rate em as the best tyres I've used. I use the wire bead as they are lighter and cheaper than the UST version (which only comes in 2.1) Wire bead is better for tubeless but if you're...

    LBS etiquette

    Online V LBS My way of thinking is that I buy most of my expensive gear online, if I can fit it myself. I do most of my own servicing but get out of my depth when it comes to pulling forks and shocks apart so when it comes to servicing them - straight to the bike shop. My LBS is great to deal...
