Helmet(s) I gots me a Met for commuting, a Bell Bellistic (courage for your head) ,for downhill -heavy as a mother ,but, bulletproof. The cream on the cake though is my...........TA DAAAAAAH--- the TLD D2 carbon Phobia. Light / tough / vented / carbon - THE best and it only cost me $350...

Rear shock Mate , i bought B8AST's 5th and am putting a larger lb spring on her , 300 lb?. At the moment im running a Fox Van R/C , but the 5th is a wicked shock,SOOOOOO much adjustability. Air/Oil/Coil/Low-High Compression/Bottom-Top Stroke ? Go bonkers getting your setup, but it gets you...

Chain repair Well mate, i use a Wipperman? "link", you can get em in 7/9 sp? But anyways i had a derailuer/chain/spoke DISASTER:eek: out in the " boondocks" downhilling. Grabbed my Ritchey CPR 13 (RIP) and my trusty link thingy "cracked" the link(s)to shorten the chain and hey "presto" -limp...

Yeah mate powdercoating is an OK way to go i did mine at the powdercoaters i worked for.You can only anodise alloy(s) , because Sulphuric acid is used in the process and it will eat the steel.We use a rubberised paint solution at work( dont know its name/im a sandblaster)-im thinking of using...

Bead/Soda/Grit/Sandblasting To those that want to know about Sand/Soda/Bead/Abrasive(GRIT) blasting techniques and their effects.If you want a smooth "profile" Soda & Bead blasting are the techniques to use AFTER you have paint stripped (recommended) your frame.Both of these materials offer...

Mrp Gday mate PM me with your details, will take the guide off your hands :)

Bush Bandits Gday mate just read in the article with the 2 greenies that they said you used a backhoe? to build your jumps etc . Somehow i find that incredulous, because as you said not really enough room for spectators for your last sesh and not exactly a stealthy type of approach to...

Upside Down Forks/Lefty The reason you can trust Lefty forks guys is because (1)the axle/arm of the fork is Ti.(2) The design for the single leg was "borrowed" off the A-10 Warthog ("Tankbuster") because the 30mm GAU/8 A Avenger cannon which neccesitated the gear be "offset" or single-sided ...
