  1. T-Rex

    Calling all Meta AM29 and TR29 owners and other bike owners!

    Junior ran a One Up on his 21 frame, Ride Alpha on his 22 frame, no issues with either.

    Live feed for EWS?

    Thanks Bear, looked at that one last night, not consistent with what Junior told me, but he’s somewhat prone to exaggerating (trait inherited from his mother) so maybe that’s all there is. maybe they have live timing I’ll go and have a look at that…

    Live feed for EWS?

    Does anyone know if there’s a live feed of the EWS? Junior is having a run at Tweed Valley this weekend and he reckons GMBN is doing a live feed of the Saturday pro stage, but I can’t find anything about it. Apparently Discovery Channel purchased part of EWS and was planning on doing a live...

    Spring help

    Compressing it will preload it and make it stiffer. Also you need to make sure it doesn’t coil bind at full compression this could result in something breaking. Eg frame, rider, your love life.

    Wheel Build Advice Thread

    If you can get it cheap I reckon it would be a really handy addition to the tool box for emergency repairs. Not sure I would build a whole wheel out of spokes threaded with it though

    Thredbo in the wet

    It dries out really quickly, one day with no rain and it will be dusty in places. I was up there for opening weekend, it was wet Saturday but all the tracks were running well, Sunday with no rain was hero dirt.

    Wheelbuilding Spoke Length Advice

    DO NOT rely on the manufacturer provided ERD, measure it yourself. Getting the ERD wrong is the one thing that will ensure you will end up placing a second order for spokes. ie what @ozzybmx said.

    Change of plan....

    Mine is a Signature. If you haven’t made a decision in the next few weeks you can take it for a run when I am next in CBR. don’t get too excited about the weight, the Scott Genius that I replaced was 1kg lighter than the TR, but the TR climbs better, especially on technical climbs. And it’s...

    Change of plan....

    Commencal Meta TR, size L. Pretty much indestructible and as an added bonus this year they have bulletproof rims to match the frame.

    Wheel Build Advice Thread

    I don’t think you will end up in hospital ..... I “Re-rimmed” a guy’s wheel at a DH race in half an hour using the method you described. It got him to his race run just in time and it did one run down the hill, both he and the wheel survived. Mind you, it wasn’t the straightest wheel of all...

    Thredbo - all you need to know

    I was up at Thredbo all last week “working remotely”. Thank you COVID! They were running the Gunbarrel chair all during the week in spite of very few riders, although Saturday and Sunday were pretty busy. Heaps of snakes out and about late afternoon on the TVT, copperheads and yellow bellies...

    After a new bike

    For riding Northern Beaches and Thredbo a hard tail is not going to be pleasant. Get a duallie. And forget about “deals” if you want a bike now due to the supply situation they are selling at full price, it’s pretty much take what you can get your hands on.

    mid travel 29er suggestions

    I have a '20 Meta TR Signature, absolutely stoked with it. I did get some work done on the shock, but apart from that it's original spec. For me going from 27.5 to 29 was a massive improvement, eg 15 seconds faster down the Flow trail at Thredbo. And getting Shimano stuff does seem to be a...
