Make that 6 Aussie World Champs!

1x10 on SRAM X0 (X9, XX) Keep in mind the SRAM XO, X0 and XX 2x10 cranksets use an ususual 120/80 BCD. I run a 1x10 on my 2012 Giant XTC composite HT and have to run the big ring (120BCD) chainring position as getting something like a widgit 1 by specific chainring/guide to clear the rear stays...

Photos are up on Aurora Images Pics are up. Worth the wait, great quality and a decent amount for the distance. http://www.auroraimages.com.au/index.php?category=gallery/events/mtb/cp12&start=0

And a flasher front and back light if your out in the fog!

Is this stuff we're riding? I the tyre question evokes much eye-rolling but I'm trying to work out whether to check something with some knobs on the front or run the racekings front and back. I ran race kings at the Mont this year as was fine with them, but muddy slop doesn't suit them so well...

Cotter Uriarra is a good loop. Head out of the city south on Commonwealth Avenue then Adelaide Ave and onto Cotter Road. Alternatively go via Parkes Way, William Hovell and onto Coppins Crossing Road and then onto Uriarra Rd. Alternatively head north out of the city on Northbourne Ave and...

Some mates and I went for a pedal around the Kowen 13km loop yesterday around midday. Some of this course is in the MONT and some isn't. It was pretty boggy in areas and quite wet on the descent down through sweet apples, hammertime etc. There were a few decent sized trees down on sideshow and...

Defy Advanced Harsh Ride Check your star nut/expansion wedge in the top of the fork steerer/stem is tightened up sufficiently (be careful not to overtighten though). These carbon ones can have a tendency to work there way loose if the stem is not tightened properly and the ride can feel much...

New fork recieved and installed this week Hi all, My defy advanced is back on the road now with a new fork recieved from Giant on the same day the shop was going to put on a substitute from a 2012 TCR advanced. Looks identical and rides the same.

I have a 2012 Defy Advanced 2. My local shop let me know immediately on Dec 2 and have just today hooked me up with a substitute fork from a 2012 TCR off of one of the shop guys bikes. Giant rep also called and said they will have a better idea of when the replacement forks from Taiwan will be...

exactly mate, I put a 70mm 10deg PRO stem and crank bros remote post on mine and it is heaps more fun than standard and very versatile. Enjoy.

Love my 2011 Trance X1 Can highly recommend the Trance. Have had a lot of bikes and really enjoy my Trance X. Have owned Avanti hardtails in the past and they always feel heaps playful like how specialised bikes do to. I imagine the Torrent would be very nice just depends on what you feel most...
