Hey Team, Looking to build up an old Klein attitude for my father and need to try and get a nice pair of old-skool forks. Anyone got something lying around they want to offload?

agree 100%. Even though in my post I identified that clipless can give more control, i agree that riding platforms gives you better technique. I'm just lazy personally... Depends very much on riding style as all have said anyway. Are they perfect? No, but they have their place. At the end...

The course you describ isn't exactly "easy", 55km with 500 or so meters of ascent will be challenge to anyone, especially if you are trying to push hard. Reading between the lines on your post, you will need to expect it to take a few weeks at least before you rebuild back to the same levels...

Improved control, more power in climbs, ability to lift the rear end over bumps, no need to worry about feet sliding off pedals on rocky decents... There are many benefits to being clipped in... Wouldn't worry about stacking it too much either, as when you need to, your body instinctively...

Saw Drive on sudnay night... Fairly good movie, bit slow in places and only one decent car chase scence, which is sad considering its a movie about a driver specializing in getaways... Overall, 3.5 stars...

This may be part of the issue... Maybe as a first pass I'll try a new set of rotors and see if that helps... It's not so much that the Avid 's are bad, it's that they're inconsistent, which IMO i worse!

Go new every time... Unless the frame you had was already something at the top end of the market, you will always get a better deal going new as opposed to upgrading bits on your current ride. On face value it may seem cheaper to simply upgrade the components, but every time you will end...

Hi Team I've been riding with Trance fitted with Avid CR's for about 2 years now, and have always struggled to get them to perform well... When they are working, they howl like a banshee, and when they're not howling, they feel down on power. All in all, I'm fairly disappointed in them so...

Just a little... Karingal 4hr 2009, had to abandon after three hours when i broke a seat rail... :(

Hi Team Big shout out to you all! Been a keen reader on MTBdirt, and have finally made the jump to Rotorburn! So who am i? Bob, a Brisbanite who love's Daisy Hill, Gap Creek and long sojourns deep into Brisbane Forest Park Riding Style: Cross country and road - it's all about...
