Thanks for the interest guys, woolybeast I will PM you.

Item: 2011 Fox 36 TALAS 180mm, 1 1/8" steerer, 20QR Location: Bellbird Park, QLD Item Condition: I've never ridden these, bought them with a scratched stanchion that i was going to try and blend out and then rebuild them, never got around to it. Other than the pictured stanchion scratch, there...

Hey guys, need to send the 222 from brisbane to adelaide. Can anyone recommend me a freight company that a) will carry a package such as this (aus post won't). b) will insure the bike for its 3k+ value. c) don't cost too much money obviously recommendations based on first hand...

Bike is sold. thanks to all those who expressed an interest. adam

BUMP. The (really friggin expensive) caliper seals are going in as we speak. must sell asap...

goto your nearest machine shop, get them to machine a bit of 4130 or something down to 20mm, and then cut whatever size threads you want on either end to suit the pegs. so you end up with a bit of 20mm bar that is stepped down to say 14 or 12mm at each end.

PRICE DROP!! I have rear caliper seals on order and they will be replaced by the end of the week, once again returning the bike to perfect working order. The price is now $3300. Come on guys, this is ridiculously cheap for this calibre of bike, and i MUST SELL IT SOON!!

To all those have messaged me, yes the bike is still for sale, yes the price is negotiable, and yes postage could be arranged, at buyers expense.

I'd really rather not, but i'll see how things go and let you know.

Item: 2001 Orange 222 Location: Brisbane Item Condition: This bike is in good condition. I've owned if for about 12 months and have ridden it no more than 10 times, before that it did a fairly light duty season in vets with the previous owner. I'm led to believe that it was originally Greg...

Nice ride guys, shame about the weather :( I was dry by the time i got home, so i guess it doesn't matter! Cheers Adam

hmm, decisions decisions, GT hardtail with a frame thats a bit too big for me, or 222 with no rear brake.....

I got no 1337 urban skillz, but i have a bike and nothing else to do, so i'd be keen to tag along now that i'm living in Bris.

Yeah but it's still better than the current situation. At the moment we have to sit here and wade through 100% of posts just to find the crap, let alone get rid of it. It's all too easy as a moderator to miss entire threads, simply cause they don't really interest you, because it's still a...

I've observed that most of the people who post crap, are too lazy to write more than a single sentence at a time. Whereas people with a more thoughtout view, tend to write a more considered, longer response, rather then replying 10 times to 1 post. Having noticed this, i would be interested...

we didn't, we're just making it up as we go along : )

You can do variable length drive shafts quite easily, with a 2 piece splined shaft. But it would be heavier than a hollow 1 piece shaft. Whilst a gearbox may be heavier than a normal rear hub + cassette + derailleur, all that weight will be sprung weight, rather than unsprung weight, which...

I agree that there is a definate lack of expertise with shock and suspensiont tuning in general in MTB. I think what would have really advanced MTB suspension a lot further, was the old cannondale DH bike, the one with electronically controlled dampening, and *DATALOGGING*. As you...

I would disagree with that last part, modern DH bikes such as say a V10, have the same amount of travel as an XR250, and with 18" wheels, the XR should be affected more by smaller bumps. couldn't agree more. I think people get way too worked up about axle paths, peoples forks have huge...

Back to the moto topic, every moto i've ever seen, from from FMX to MotoGP, use a single pivot swingarm (their may be some weird arse exceptios to this rule). From what i've seen, the main purpose of any of the "actuation" links they run, is simply to improve the packaging of the shock within...
