Great to see the SS2 getting some love! As you say, its such a versatile machine, and it was one of the most capable rigs that featured prominently in the Megavalanches, and early versions of the Enduros. I got one of the original SS frames, still got it, and still ride it! Been around the...

Free bump - pm'd you

Any chance you can share some pics of what these scratches look like?

Yup, I understand that the material properties of carbon is such that its failure mechanism is such that there is no plastic phase prior to material failure, so whilst being stronger, it also means that when the wheel goes, it goes without warning. Again, my question was that if through...

Rather than opening a new thread on this topic, I thought I would resurrect this one. Just wanted to get the consensus of people who have got carbon wheels, and have put it through its paces. How much dents have your carbon wheels experienced from rocks hitting the side rim, and deforming...

@Pebble - Thumbs up mate, I'm marching to the beat of you drum :D

Potential funds From memory, Ground Effect (a NZ cycle specific clothing company) provided funding for the upgrade on Bronwyns many moons ago. http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/underground/slush/ Worth putting into the action list when things get start moving for fix up of the track.

Good model to follow I was just reading thru the normal bike porn websites I usually trawl through first thing in the morning, and came across this article: http://www.nsmb.com/3994-pangor-trail-day-report It illustrates the strength and maturity that Vancouver's North Shore trail crews...

Correction. Signs are there as indicators, whether you're a novice, or elite rider. It's also a demonstration to the relevant authorities that we as a community are putting measures in to reduce risk by giving users adequate warning. Just think yellow warning signs on roads, which warns you...

Totally agree. Not having done any homework on IMBA or UCI guidelines to see if this is a requirement, but if a safety Risk Assessment was carried out on the track, such warnings would be a suggested control measure to mitigate the risk. Some of the good examples I've seen have been: *...

I don't think there is any need to justify to anyone (outside family and better half of course) what you buy, or what you ride? Agreed that a flash bike on the hill will certainly draw some attention to you from other riders, and should you not be able to hit that gap on your bright flouro...

Just taking a guess, but I would say that you probably have a catridge bottom bracket on your current steed. Upgrading your cranks, you would probably be looking for a Shimano Hollowtech II cranks (Deore, SLX, whatever price allows), with external bottom bracket suitable for 68/73mm shell. The...
