    Noisy rear hub

    My Giant Trance has a ratcheting rear hub, that drives the family crazy when I ride with them. Any idea what's involved in swapping it to a silent hub? Would I be better off just selling/swapping them?

    Chain Lube

    Thought this would have been discussed ad nauseum, but couldn't seem to find much. I've previously used Bike Milk and Rock N Roll blue in my very limited experience, but keen to hear what other people use, or whether I should just stick to either of these. Basic mountain biking only, but we...

    Dropper post

    My dropper post isn't working. Sometimes it goes down by itself (often when sitting on it whilst climbing), it doesn't stay down, and it doesn't seem to always come back up all the way. Cyclinic said they can't repair it. It appears I need a new one - any recommendations?

    Tubeless repair

    So, I tried reading the thread in the sticky, but at 81 pages, got a bit overwhelmed. My 29er front tubeless tyre has a slow leak. I suspect it's the valve core (it's a bit bent), but haven't really proven this theory. I tried removing the tyre, and adding slime, then putting the tyre back...

    Shoes/cleats/pedals

    Looking for options. A mate has got me interested in MTB orienteering. Did an intro event with the family, and really enjoyed it. So after shoes that are also good for light bushwalking/hiking (if they exist). Any suggestions on options (including good suppliers)?

    Front shock advice

    It appears my 2013 Giant Trance 29er (https://www.giant-bicycles.com/au/trance-x-29er-0-2013) requires front shock repairs. I'm a bit of a newbie, so I'm a bit vague on what's wrong, but apparently the legs need replacing amongst other items. I've been quoted $620 for repair, or $1090 for...

    "What's it worth" section?

    I'm on the hunt for a used bike, but being new to the game, don't have much knowledge about MTBs, particularly prices. On other forums I frequent, they have a "What's it worth" area, which works well to help both buyers and sellers . Any chance of adding this in here, to help me avoid being...

    Is this 29 worth it?

    I know it's only an Anaconda bike, but wondering if this https://www.anacondastores.com/cycling/ ... BP90112845 is worth the sale price of $679 (now expired, but I have one on hold), for a general get-about bike, mostly bitumen with the odd dirt trail every now and then. If not, any...
