Are people using anything to compare best deals on parts and stuff? I tend to manually check the big online shops myself manually. Bikeexchange.com.au should have everything in one spot but doesn't seem to have the overseas retailers. People have a better way than a dozen browser tabs open...

You don't need the giant branded axle. You can save quite a bit of money using a specific generic axle. I'm pretty sure it was this one https://www.dtswiss.com/Components/RWS/RWS-E-Thru-rear which was available from heaps of stores. There are threads on it on other forums. Sent from my MotoG3...

I'm planning on going down for a weekend. However I'm not a downhill rider, more cross country. Ride a trance 29er. I assume still worth going? Flow and all mountain look good as well. Any other non downhillers had fun?

Hi all, Anyone recommend a place to get my Magura forks serviced in Sydney? (Prefer western syd but can go futher). Thanks

As recommended only look at effective TT length. Other numbers are just confusing. I'm a fraction taller, also bride a medium trance and got my road bike second hand, m/l. I was on the lookout for anything with effective TT of 56cm. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Hi, I've got a press fit bottom bracket (2014 trance x1) where the end cap keeps coming loose. (Holding the crank arm on). First time it came completely out and I took it my LBS who had a look and didn't see anything wrong. They tightened it up and it lasted for my next ride for a few...
