    Groupset question...

    Brand spanking new. Bike was bought from a "high volume" Giant dealer. So I am now cursing myself for not going to a specialist shop.

    Groupset question...

    I currently have a Giant Talon 1 29er, and while the gears shift "fine", the actuation is rather casual. Is this due to the lower spec groupset X5 SRAM, or just a MTB querk? Will a top o the line f/d and r/d solve this? Thanks in advance.

    Newbie speedo question.

    Garmin GPS quality I will ditch the sensor, and see how it goes. You're all right to some extent, my Forerunner 310XT worked REALLY well in really thick bush once. It never lost signal and the 28km run was all there when I uploaded it. Amazing accuracy. I will ditch the sensor as I find...

    Newbie speedo question.

    I am wondering what the go is with speedometers on MTBs? I currently run a Garmin 500, but the speed /cadence sensor looks very exposed to stick /rock damage. I currently haven't been able to get out bush to test my theory. Any suggestions would be great. I like to see travel and kms on...

    Bike repair stands.

    FYI, Aldi have bike repair stands for $70ish I bought one and it is pretty stable and holds my Giant Talon 0 29er just fine. Get em while they're hot. Disclaimer : I do not have any "business interests" in Aldi, I am just trying to spread the word.

    Howz about....

    Has there been any thought put towards a mobile friendly version of ROTORBURN? Some other forums have this and it makes viewing all content a lot more easy. Just a thought.... :)

    is this guy for real?

    I can vouch for the fact that there ARE bad riders. Even if I had built the friggin track.... I would be a sure thing to be the first to crash on it. And I thought this stuff only happened in the US of A!

    The official running thread

    Find a shoe that is not comfy and fits properly and keep using the same model of shoe. I find chopping and changing shoes is bad for me. TNF 100 that's a serious run. Good luck with that.

    Race vomits and cramps?

    Well, it sounds like, as others have mentioned, that you are going too hard and your digestion has shut down. If you go too hard at any stage of an endurance event, your body goes into self preservation mode and shunts blood from your gut(non essential) and puts it in your...
