From what I've been able to figure from using both on the same systems as availability has been poor at times. The BH90 is made as the XTR of barbs, slightly shorter for weight and a slightly larger bore through the middle to have less restriction on fluid flow. Neither have created a...

lol, I really should fill out my warranty ;) Niner has always been good with any issues I've ever had, not concerned.

Is that in regards to 2x setups or something else ? Post shouldn't be far off now :D

Same but different, had steel and alloy rigid previously but thought I'd try something a bit different. I know it won't be to everyone's taste :P ps. Waiting on RDO seat post.

I did an order last Thursday and had it yesterday (Monday). Very impressed and they were cheaper than Wiggle which hasn't happened for a while on what I've been after.

I don't think Kokoda is on this weekend. Ridgeline adventures are hosting the last of their adventure race series called "The Culminator" and it's a rogaine style event so there will be random people riding and walking all over the place in there with maps in their faces looking for check...

Also a heads-up that there is an 8 hour adventure race on that will be using the Nerang forest area for mountain biking and trail walking / running this Saturday the 13th. Mountain bikers with map boards don't usually dodge oncoming strava chasers very well ;)

Opps, I was thinking of Fellcrag. Kooralbyn was at the golf club between Beaudesert and Rathdowny by memory !

On the Maxxis Ikon Exo side I had never had issues until I went to them ! I was running Crossmark, Aspen and Advantage folding tyres (non ust) with stans and never ever had a problem until I went to the Ikon EXO's. Torn sidewall at Freedom marathon but thought I'd not pass verdict too soon...

I've been through 3 in the last 2 years, loved the weight and stack height but they really do not last well ! That's on an XC bike too so I wouldn't expect much for DH use. I've gone to Chris King although heavier and a good increase in stack height I'm hoping for a long usable life from it !

I had a set on my single speed but threw them in the bin after a couple of months of constant issues ! Being a diaphram rather than a piston you'd think they would center well and not drag but I was wrong and several shops could get no love out of them... So they went into the wheelie bin :(...

Entered the wife and I this morning :D Now to sort out the logistics of it all :confused:

Have a look at the Evoc range, I use a freeride trail model for full day outings, really comfortable even with a heap of weight (I often carry a hefty DSLR camera and first aid kit). The model I have also has a CE certified back protector, a special place for all your tools/tubes, sunglass...

Vertigo have built a beautiful new track down the last 3/4's of the mountain but it's been closed for the last 2 months due to weather ! I was there between Xmas and New Year and had a good play on their allready great runs but this new one looks soo nice. I have a feeling they will probably...

:cool: Twin set, love em !
