I picked the frame up for 60 bucks, and put one of those DNM RL air shocks on it, which worked ok but then I got even fatter and was looking at nearly 50% sag at max pressure. Got hold of a CR after missing out on the black Friday sales and its freaking awesome. Rear creaks a little (may be...

Hey all. I need to replace the hose on some m755 brakes and was just wondering if there're any bodges out there for this - the only original ones I've found on ebay are way too long... I've found these which look like they might work (and am assuming there's a non Temu equivalent that I might be...

So I bought a 7.875x2.25 Bomber CR for the Six but am having a bit of trouble deciding on spring rates. I'm putting in 120kg for rider weight and 170mm travel and the Cyclinic calculator is giving me 800lb whereas the Fox one is anywhere from 700 (30% sag) and 800 (25% sag). The current shock...

I finished building this up this arvo... bought it for 60 bucks (which included an old Mongoose Wing elite) for the frame. Turfed pretty much everything off it except the rear shifter/brake unit (keeping this was a mistake) and the front derailleur. Built it up with whatever I had in the shed...

I'm looking for some new tyres to replace the ageing yet favourite Larsen TTs I've been using for a while now - they were the last new tyres I bought, probably 10 years ago now. Obviously haven't had too much use in a while, not dried out or anything but definitely wearing out. The problem is...

I pulled the Norco Six out of the garage to sort out the brakes, sat on it and realised I'm now too bloody fat to ride the thing, so swapped the fork onto this little beast cause the DJ1 on it needs a service and Marzocchi decided to use some stupidly annoyingly crap tool to undo the foot nuts...

Hey all, We've got a Lemair CF-155K chest freezer and were giving it a clean out today when we noticed condensation underneath it. We moved it and cleaned the area where it had been sitting, and then had a look underneath the freezer to see if there was any damage. Turns out the base of it...

Hey folks, Quick question about my desktop computer. For the past twelve months its been a bit... unhelpful I guess. I've formatted the HDD a few times and reinstalled Windows, and even tried a new one but the problems are still around. Basically, I have to restart the thing at least...

Hey folks, I'm looking at picking up a set of the cheap Husselfelt cranks from TBSM but am unsure which BB to buy... Apparently the stock one was a 118mm, but the TBSM're only selling the Howitzer in a 51 or 56mm chainline. Is it possible that the 56 would be appropriate, or should I be...

Hey all, I've got a 6 spd cassette on a disc hub, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether it is compatible with a 7 speed shifter. Either that, or will a 7 speed cassette fit on the hub? Cheers for any help - Zac

Just a few shots from the World Champs at Stromlo - comments and criticism'd be appreciated. I bloody missed Steve Peat though - still no idea why I turned the camera off about 10 seconds before he flew past... Sam Hill Flickr link Nathan Rennie (have this blown up on the living...

Hey all. Just thought I'd chuck my garage on here - nothing especially impressive, but they all ride nice as pie. '99 GT Palomar A massive, massive frame on what was my first 'proper' mountain bike, complete with V-brakes and front suspension (RST 281). Now attached to a wind trainer...

G'day folks, I just bought a Mongoose Teocali frame (thanks christo!) and i've realised that the 100mm MXR fork I have on it atm is a bit ordinary. I'm intending to upgrade, for either Pikes or older Z1s in the near future but for now I need a bit of help. I have three forks I can put on...

G'day folks, Just wondering if anyone can help me out - my girlfriend's Wickety Wak video has been misplaced (we've turned the house upside down looking for it, to no avail) and she's really wanting a copy bad. We've checked ebay, amazon, youtube, google and can only find a couple of promo...

G'day folks, I'm after a hardtail AM frame with similar geo to my Rampage but which can be built up to a fairly low weight for XC/AM/road riding. I've narrowed it down to the Chameleon (pricy Al goodness), the 456 (cheap, steel) and the TransAM (in between pricewise, a bit of an unknown...

G'day folks, Does anyone know whether shops selling new computers are legally obligated to give hard copies (ie a CD) of the software installed on said computer at the time of sale (eg Windows Vista)? I was always under the impression they were, but we purchased a new laptop and it came with...

(Mods, sorry about the multiple post, but i think i might get more info in here with this - I didn't get any replies in the Parts 'n' Stuff forum... Feel free to delete the post in there) G'day all, I'm beginning to find the Rampage is a bit of a killer on long XC/road rides (as I knew it...

G'day all, I'm beginning to find the Rampage is a bit of a killer on long XC/road rides (as I knew it would be, but I've not had much time off road lately), so I'm looking into a hardtail frame with more of an XC bent, but not overly racy. I'm on a budget of up to around $700 for a frame, or...

Has anyone else been, or is anyone else going? I went to the Seagulls show on Friday night, and it rocked, absolutely spectacular. Just as good if not better than the last time I saw him play. A quick question though, does anyone know the name of the band supporting on this tour? I think they...

Sorry if this is in the wrong area mods, but I was having a gander at Down and Double Down this arvo and it got me thinking, does anyone know what's become of Krispy Baughman and V-Dub? Last I saw of V-Dub was in Jib, and I've not heard anything of Krispy since Third Down... Can anyone fill...
