    International Disc brake front and rear

    I've had 2 Ali Deore groupsets, both legit. Mine were bought from JH Outdoor Store though. They only have the 2-pot Deores though

    GX T-type. Agree with the Rhythm - it’s a decent fork even if it doesn’t have the flashy kashima. The 36 Rhythm is basically a Bomber Z1 - plenty of people ride them.

    New Norco Fluid VLT. Uses the new Bosch SX motor and not stupidly priced like the new Optic. The C2 at 11.5k looks a great deal with TRP Trail EVO brakes, GX T-type, an X2 PE shock and a Rhythm 36. I reckon the spec’d sway me over a Fuel EXe 9.7 which is now inexplicably 12.5k despite keeping...

    What might have been......

    Started my PhD back in the UK after Uni as I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. 6 weeks in, my PhD supervisor announces he's got a job in Sydney and he was bringing as many as he could. I wasn't sure as I had a longterm GF at the time. Decided I'm going and she agreed. We didn't officially ever...

    Nice 20km ride round Kalamunda again with some of my usual crew. Nearly 30 at 7am and no proper rain in months meant it was dusty as hell and big bogs of pea gravel, including on the runout of some jumps where my wheels actually left the ground, which was fun. A few Strava cups too, which is a...

    What temps are we talking? We had a hot summer, must have been over 40 for the best part of 3 weeks over here, made riding interesting, and very sweaty… Same. My bike is lucky if it gets a wash, although I don’t tend to ride in the wet. Also goes for a service covered in dust!
