    Has anyone here ever purchased a Niner One9 frame? They look so pretty (obviously!) if so is it best to order directly from US of from the aussie importer MTB precision (they haven't emailed me back)? Just an idea though, nothing immediate. It is expensive too :D

    I'm actually having troubles trying to locate this Bianchi Sok - Only Jensons seem to sell it in the whole world and the shipping is $250 :( So delayed for now. How come such a well known brand (road I know) is hard to get?

    Thanks for the responses :) I will use the middle ring then and count the T on the cassette of my Trance X1 and try riding in that combo for as long as possible. Well the bike I really like is the Bianchi SOK 29er and I would have to order it online; can't really try it beforehand as it doesn't...

    G'day, Wanting to one day N+1 SS; I'd like to get a better idea how the standard (?) SS gearing of 32 x 18 feels like. What would be the closest gearing on a standard XT 27 speed drivetrain? Cheers

    Noisy fork

    I took it to the LBS and it was indeed the rebound and air pressure that were much too high! I must start adjusting those more seriously... thanks for the tips :)

    Noisy fork

    Hi thanks for the responses - topping out is the word then. No I haven't had it serviced yet. Might take it to my LBS then.

    Noisy fork

    Hi, I have an issue with my Fox RL120 which I'm not sure is normal or not. When the fork decompresses it makes a loud *tchac* sound when it has reached the end of how much the fork can extend i.e. 100% decompressed. Same when I'm about do to a jump and pull up the handlebar it makes that...

    XC Tyres

    G'day Good read this thread, I'm thinking of getting the popular combo Ignitor 2.1 front and Larsen TT 2.0 rear for my XC bike, both LUST. However I wanted to check what is the norm for the widths at the front/rear; 2.0 and 2.1, should the wider one be on the rear for traction or at the front...
