    Chain breaker tool, which one?

    I’m a bit confused by this thread. I’ve got a couple of chainbreakers including a OneUp edc one which I used on the trail on the weekend and a Park one. Maybe another cheap shit one in the drawer too. I’ve never had any issues popping pins out of 11sp or any chain really. Are people really...

    Blind rider saying hi

    There’s a lot of remnant mining stuff around there. Found an old collapsed humpy next to a sluice run and it looked like it had been sitting like that undisturbed for many decades. And old tin petrol station sign IIRC used as the roof. A couple of laps around Comadai/Antimony can be pretty...

    If you’ve got the patience or intelligence of which I lack both Steve from Vorsprung does brilliant YouTube vids on all sorts of nerdy suspension topics. I try but just glaze over by the halfway point or I learn something new but because my brain is only so big when something new goes in...

    Newly Released Bikes General

    Am I the only one that doesn’t like the look of those Atherton bikes? Even more so the new alloy ones? That head tube area looks pretty weird. Maybe it’s the chunky tube size or something they use.

    What might have been......

    This is probably the only thing we have even remotely in common. As Paul Kelly once sang “I done all the dumb things”.

    XC Fairlight has arrived....

    That’s exactly it! Exclaiming how you can’t possibly understand why someone would run their bike a certain way and labelling them as suckers to marketing is ridiculous! Of course if your sort of riding doesn’t need a long travel dropper or even dropper at all or DH tires or long travel then...

    Mystic MTB - Bright

    I have noticed new signage. Especially on some of the up trails so yeah I think that’s been a consideration. I just use trail forks.

    Mystic MTB - Bright

    Best trails are the double blacks from the launch pad. If that’s your thing do Mystic DH, into boogaloo into DH again to the bottom. Or skip boogaloo and do the new Tech trail. Exposed and rough. It’s ok. Not great. Flow trail runs off from the same spot but don’t think it’s quite open. Looked...
