Long time maxxis user here. I have always been pretty happy with maxxis tyres on my bikes but the last few sets I have owned seem to have ended there lives earlier than usual due to split sidewalls or the latest minion delaminating. If your not running maxxis on your enduro/trail bikes I'd love...

After a lot of peer pressure from my mates I decided to have a go at clipless pedals. I've been riding flats my whole riding life which is around 8 or so years. I rode flats for xc to downhill. I never really had a problem keeping up or feet bouncing off the pedals or anything like that but...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has used these on their bike and how much difference did it make to the handling. I have a lapierre zesty medium which has a 67 degree head angle. Most of the newer bike come out with a 65 degree these days so I was looking to drop it by 1degree and see how it...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has noticed a shortage of shimano bleed kits and fluid here in aus lately. I have been searching for a kit and none of the local shops have one and can't even get one from the big online stores in aus. If anyone knows anywhere in aus that has the ones...

Recently I purchased a manitou McLeod rear shock off chain reaction cycles. It's not old, about 15-20 hours use I would guess. While riding today it started bottoming out with a clunk but not getting full travel. The rubber guide was only 3 quarters down the shock. Up to now I have not had any...

Hey guys, thanks to a great tax return this year I'm going to be upgrading the forks on my 2015 zesty. Currently they run the bottom of the run fox Ctd 150mm. I am feeling pretty underwhelmed with their performance once you start to push them hard. I had decided on a set of pikes but after...

After close to 3 years away from a bike I decided to get back out there again. Picked myself up a Lapierre Zesty Am 327. Pretty stoked how nice it rode uphill and down! Bikes have come a long way since my old norco hardtail!

Not sure if this is in the right section, but its related to DH so here it goes. I'm heading up to Toowoomba this weekend for the first time. I have searched and searched and have found where the start of Mcfrenzy is, but I was just wondering where it ends. What is the name of the street so I...

Hi, I had a crash the other day and destroyed the shifter on my Glory. It was an Sram X7. So now I was thinking its a great time to upgrade it. I was thinking an 07 model X9 because you can get em of Torpedo 7 for $83!! Is there much difference between an X7 and an X9? I am using an X9 short...
