Folks, I just got my rear shock serviced by Dirtworks and I tried to install it this morning with increasing frustration. My question is, the top mount is out by about 1-1.5 degree's from the bottom mount. So when I put the shims on and try to bolt it to the frame, one end goes in nice...

Ive been hunting for a frame for my girlfriend to get her into some XC/AM stuff. The main problem we have is that typically 13-14" frames provide almost no standover clearance on my girl's petite 5ft build. We've even stuck her on a 13" STP and it still looked big. She's a short legs, short...

Read this and was somewhat miffed... http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22355874-5007146,00.html Considering Sydney's bicycle network is reknowned for its crappyness, its a bit unfair to be constantly complaining about their presence on the road. As for contributing nothing to the upkeep...

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/enter-sydney-but-only-with-id/2007/06/22/1182019340528.html Because a terrorist would never stoop to such measures as forging a letter from an employer. Wonder if you will be allowed in the Sydney CBD with nail clippers or a fork? N

I have a question to all you farkineers, especially those a bit ofay with XC helmets. I guess you could say I have an odd shaped head. Whenever I pop the helmet on it looks a bit like its perched precariously on my noggin rather than sitting around it. Was wondering if anyone knew of an XC...

How about an Injury Rehab forum? I know theres plenty of people who have damaged themselves and gone through recovery periods and rehab for their injuries. It might be helpful for people to share their thoughts and experiences on rehab exercises, supports, best pain killers ;) etc...

Hi All, Im sure like myself, many Farkinites will have experienced a misspent youth down at the local deli playing classic arcade games, with 20c coins lined up across the bottom of the screen. Those days before everyone had a game console and 8 bit sprites were cutting edge :D So...

Went out to the goat farm today with mah bro on his Giant DH-Bling. That place is awesome fun since theyve put loads of berms in. Only bad note of the day was me stacking the Reign and now I can barely walk :( Enjoy.. N
