    Buying a canyon. Hidden fees

    No import duty, it's all sorted. But if CC charges international transactions fees then you will get that as it is an international payment. Only fee on top of listed price is postage ($200).

    So, a man walks into a bike shop.........

    Mt first adult mountain bike was the same fluid but 2014 model. I've upgraded a bit since then, but had no issues with the bike. I found it was a great intro bike and good for a mix of light trails and road. Though, it can handle rough trails, I rode it everywhere here including some of...

    What is a Stealth Dropper Worth?

    Hi, Can anyone tell me what a RS Reverb Stealth dropper is worth 150mm? It came on my new bike but I need to drop down a size. I want to give it to a mate at a good bargain price without giving it away, if that makes sense... Appreciate your opinions.

    New bike day

    So I bit the bullet last week and ordered a Canyon Strive CF 7.0. Assembled it last night, only took about 45 minutes, having never worked on a bike I thought that was OK. Canyon have been great to deal with, and fast! There are a couple of blemishes on the frame, I might give them a call...

    Where to buy gear

    Where is everyone buying gear? I need new helmet, gloves and peddles for new bike. Either bricks and mortar in Brisbane, South side or online.

    2017 remedy 9 or 2018 remedy 8 ?

    Remedy 8 is a decent bike, peddles really well and suspension is nice. Remedy 8 does not have the new thru shaft shock. Only top spec models do.
