    Launceston riding groups?

    Confession - I've been flirting with my gravel bike more in recent times but am keen to get back on the mtb. I live near Trevallyn so get up there a bit but are there any regular groups that go out weekly or anything like that? Cheers

    The Bin Chicken

    I don't see too many of these around these parts, not sure if it's just me or what..

My Ibis Ripmo AF, ngx...

    Wheel building costs

    Trying to weigh up replacing my current skinny rims or my entire bike.. I've currently got hold pro 4 hubs and am considering getting this laced into some new wider rims.

    Slipping saddle, advice please

    Buying helmets internationally.

    What are people's thoughts on buying a lid from overseas? I'm looking at the MET lupo helmet which I know fits my noggin alright, but I really prefer some of the colour options that don't seem to be available in Australia. If I import one from o/s then it likely won't meet Australia standards...

    The UP thread.

    So anecdotally it would seem that the majority of farkiners are of the gravity inspired leaning (correct me if I'm wrong). I had a roll out at the youeys today and was inspired to focus on defying gravity - that is, my climbing skills. Who else here is into climbing technically challenging...

    The sherpy sherpy Sherpa

    Easier gears for climbing

    Currently my lowest gear is 34 x 40. I'm soft and this is too hard. Price aside, am I better off getting a smaller chainring or a 42 cog? Ta
