As the title suggests. Recently bought a new bike, and with the upgrade I've gone from '07 XTR to '14 Elixir 7. The XTRs feel incomparably better to me, but I've had numerous people (especially shop staff) tell me that the 7's would have more stopping power etc etc due to the changes in...

Does anyone have any recent experience with NZO apparel? I owned one of their first pairs of Dobies and LOVED them, and am looking at buying something new - but given their shop closed down I can't help but wonder whether there was a drop in quality over the years. Would love to support a...

Summers over, early bird pass deals are wrapping up...let's get psyched for the good stuff! Where are we all riding this year? Got any new goodies you want to show off? http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=fvwp&v=U6lpBi39N78

Problem solved, thanks team.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjv-MtGpj2U&feature=related So I've just watched this (^), and apparently it's inevitable. Should I start stocking up on canned fish? Anyone have any further elaboration on the current global economic situation re: collapse (and timing of) or speculation on...

Farkiner's, I need your help! I'm trying to find the name of Cadel Evan's former coach/friend/mentor/pharmacist that was caught up in multiple doping scandals with multiple cyclists under his care. I remember an online article published a few years back that was saying that he'd just started a...

So what are your thoughts on euthanasia? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/03/MN701JPHH8.DTL

So as to not block up and further derail another thread... What's your opinion on it? How did you come to this conclusion? 20% reduction? FAR more than 20% in clinical practice (don't have an exact figure in front of me, it's population dependent). In Dunedin for example, the latest NZ...

So with so many of us as students I thought this could be a good place for us to throw up some cheap + easy recipes that we've found, as even if we're not eating noodles every night - $2 sausages and vegetables every night gets pretty old. So, to kick it off - here's an easy pasta bake that...

I'm amazed there isn't a thread on this already. Biggest earthquake in Japan's recorded history, tsunami's completely wiping towns away. I thought Christchurch earthquake was bad, this has me blown away.

Another thread already, ignore me.

Wow, that's heavy for a government official. Surely someone who is capable of rape while in a position of national responsibility would have other personality problems that would affect their ability to effectively rule a country? ______________...

A mate got bored. Tried to ride his bike off a ledge. Ended well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x8zfTC2niI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax96cghOnY4 I saw this yesterday, and I think it portrays a great universal message for teen's everywhere struggling with any issues they may have. Watch it, think about what's being said and please pass it on. It may seem like a useless exercise, but issues...

Ok, so here's another! Each interview is meant to be personal, so I tried to incorporate a few...'different' questions that suited Mr King's personality. Without further ado! Plow King, tell us a bit about yourself. This is hard. I never actually thought answering these questions was...

...watch this video. Quite an interesting lecture on synthetic happiness that is well worth the watch in my opinion. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html

I've had this on my computer for months, and I figure it was about time I published it as I'm sick of it on my desktop. Chances are this will also be my last MTF... Ladies and Gentleman, FLOODY! 1. So to start with the obligatories - Mr Flood, tell us about yourself. (Name, age, job...

Farkiners, I need your help. However it's going to sound slightly ridiculous once you hear what we're working with. NZ Mountain Biker Magazine have just finished testing a 'secret prototype' full susser (100mm) race bike. There's a page spread on it, but there's no naming, nor are there any...

So, anyone coming over? It's going to be an awesome weekend, there's been heaps of preparation going into it and the downhill track especially is looking mean as. http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/events/sports/others/oceania-mountain-bike-champs

What is the world coming to? I think this, above a lot of other things that are thrown upon us by the media, truly demonstrate that maturation of children at a younger age (and as such, I for one would like to see the judicial system modified to accommodate for this). Whilst, they still had...
