    Why is there little innovation in road bikes?

    If you think about the relative age of both genres I think it’s reasonable that mountain bikes are going through more change than roadies. Looking at 90s MTBs, they were nothing compared to what you get today but also the actual trails being ridden were really different too. Roadies have been...

    Favourite bike stand...

    I found one locally on marketplace that was kinda halfway between one of the cheap Aldi stands and the proper workshop ones. It cost me $20 but retail they weren’t absurd. I’ll try get the brand when I get home but it’s one of those ones similar to Aldi where a bunch of retailers kinda slap...

    VIC Hope brakes older models

    They might be getting a bit long in the tooth but I have a pair of hope mono minis. I don’t know a whole lot about them, I bought a couple bikes and a box of parts was thrown in and they were in there. Levers have the Santa Cruz logo on them too so I reckon from some fancy team edition bike...

    Do people actually collect old mountain bikes?

    I recently happened upon an older bike that I wanted to kinda get back to its glory days. Hunting for parts has shown me there are quite a few people that absolutely collect them. Always makes me wonder where they’re getting the parts from. Like they’ll post a new build of a 90s bike with top...

    Fat Chance - Yo Eddy

    Ten years on and this is still such a dream build. I completely understand why you’d swap back to XTR but man those kooka cranks really were something. I had a pair that came on an old colnago roadie of all things, they were already cracked when I got them though sadly Sent from my iPhone...
