In response to the guys asking about the rock razor as a rear. It dose roll very well and is quite predictable however the life on it is rubbish. I got one on my trance sx and after two months of use, about 300km it is trashed. Set up tubless it won't keep sealant in it for more than 2 weeks...

Where are you? I know the Santa Cruz dealer in newcastle has a M Bronson on the floor that you can throw a leg over

This is my current Giant Trance SX. It replaced a 2008 norco fluid. It's an absolute monster on the decents and climbs better than the old bike. Really happy with the way it rides and looking fwd to many kms from it Changes from stock SLX cranks Woolf tooth 30 tooth chain ring XT Ispec shifter...

I case I missed it, what's the go with "practice" sat, where do we meet and what time are the shuttles starting

easiest may and the may that blackspire says to do it is run it as close to the bash ring as you can with out contacting it and as close to the chain stay as you can with out contacting it. have had one on my norco fluid for about 5 months and the only time i had torepostion it was after a big...

not to add more fuel to the fire, but the timing of the event needs to be changed to resemble that more of a dh race than a xc race. you cant expect people to travel that distance for effectivly 3 runs down the track. all that has been alowed for in the sunday program is enough time for 1...

is there any info about weather this is still going ahead. need to know asap as i might drive to orange and do the ginga ninja in stead

any news on the reschedule of this round with the continuing weather. will we still race this weekend at awaba or is there a chance of moving to somewhere dryer like singo

what a day! absolutly spent but the most fun i have had racing a bike ever and almost the best day on the bike ever. thanks to ccomtb for oganising the event and the shuttles. cant wait till the next one. congrats

i was in a similar boat a few years ago. ended up getting a norco fludi 1 for the right price, this has 140 mm rear and 150 mm front and i now do everything on it from short corse xc, enduros and am races. from experiance, going up has more to do with fitness that the bike, with in reason...

just pulled them apart and the 15mm axle will not go through with the bearing that are inthere allready. the end caps come off very easily however will have to look at changing the bearings as well. any one tried this

fantastic bike. especialy for the money. i brought the a4 about 2 years ago and have now done about 2500km on and the only things that have been changed are the tyres, bar tape(because of a crash) and sadel (personal preferance). just remember it is not a raceing geo bike but more set up for a...

i recentlly got some qr jet black rockes for a good price and now it looks like the bike will inheret a 15mm through axle fork. is it possible to convert the front wheel over to 15mm as well. cheers

was at the lbs last night and got to have a look at one of these. strait out of the box. had a full x9 drivetrain with xo rear mech, avid brakes, but not the dt hubs, did have tubless ready rocked rons on the scales it was 10.4kg for a large, minus pedals it is a very nice looking bike...

any news on this race going ahead with all the weather we have seen latley. keen as to ride atm with awaba and glenrock closed.
