Anyone know where to get rear derailleur hangers? (I'm guessing the shop where I bought the bike) but what would a reasonable price be so I don't get ripped? Thanks

Rode today and yesterday with 195psi in the rear shock, felt heaps better than before. Didn't quite bottom out on any decent jumps or drops (aneurysm at Lysterfield, cressy descent + boulder track at you yangs) Anyone have any suggestions on how capable the Rockshox Sektor solo air forks are...

Glad to hear the wheels are strong! My last ride around lysterfield on the Escape resulted in a fairly wobbly rear wheel! At least for now I'll just ride the thing before playing around too much..

G'day guys, happen to buy myself a 2012 Torrent 1 last weekend, can't wait to go for a ride after reading some posts about them! My first bike was an Avanti escape and was almost going to buy a trance or anthem but decided on the Avanti (more travel, better forks, rest of the gear seemed the...
