    Windsor Dirt Jumps, Melbourne

    windsor tease Used to live down the road to "Crapsor". Peeps who were involved in the dirt being trucked in a few years ago said council weren't stoked on getting it fully fixed up, due to public liability, or excuses about public liability so as to spend money on more profitable things like...

    VIC Large DH Frame.

    Looking for a Large. My Medium rig is pretty cramped at 6 2". Needs to be in good nick. Suggestions: Sunday, Turner DHR, Glory, Socom, Commencal, Cove. I'm open to anything decent that's race ready really. Needs to have shock that came with frame.

    Windsor dirt jumps

    windsor used to live down the road. council won't develop it. wants it to just stay unused. it's the lawyer's fault at the end of the day. there have been a few guys last year getting a load of dirt in etc. courtesy of the council, but they still want it low key. there is actually a sign...

    9 speed shifter on 8 speed cassette?

    big ups that was a big help. thanks heaps. 8 speed is a bit of a headache hey. do shimano shifters not work on SRAM rear mechs then as well? and do you need a specific 8 speed rear der. or is a 9 speed rear der. exactly the same? peace.

    9 speed shifter on 8 speed cassette?

    swapping out a death trap shimano alvio shifter... new cassette in 8, and new 8 chain... there's very little decent options on 8 speed shifters. so i'm looking toward SRAM 9 speed... will this be an issue? or will i just have one useless click down the fast end on the cassette? or will i...

    stem stack height?

    i've dropped my stem/bars down as low as they can go... this is the g-o- for a DH is it not? I'm really not good enought to notice the difference. I'm happy with it low, but before i go the chop on the steerer tube, any thoughts?

    how heavy is your DH rig? does it matter?

    you might be right mate. the 40's are super soft. i'm starting to up the preload and off the rebound. i've never noticed them bottom, as others do, but that don't mean it's not happening. totally different feel to the bling 888's. might need to send em and get the mod done... sigh...

    how heavy is your DH rig? does it matter?

    Swinger 6-way: Yeah i'm running around 30% sag when i have no preload on to measure spring viability. Or as best i can measure by myself, so i think the spring weight is right. I do crank the preload on b/c i found myself catching my bashie and pedals and thought i might be sitting too low in my...

    how heavy is your DH rig? does it matter?

    go commencal yeah i'd have to agree with you ajay. my mate has a nicely kitted out commencal, and this is what i have to compare my demo9 truck with. it does pedal: like crazy. it asks/begs for it. nor does it catch bloody pedals. and it feels like a cutting tool in the dirt, and skips...
