I've moved to Scotland recently and I'm trying to find an equivalent to Farkin to look for place to ride and bikes to buy.
There seems to be a lot of small but shitty cycling forums that come up on google, is there anything as encompassing as this forum that anyone knows of? (oz has Farkin...
So,
My mother has started cycling quite a lot so I gave her my old Repco fluro work strapper roady, but she finds the position too extreme for the long scenic rides she does.
I've been asked to find her a suitable bike. She does a lot of road/dirt roads, is quite tall (5'10") and most of that...

Fit's like a glove on my Elka shock and I imagine also on RC4, not so sure about DB or Vivid. The stuff is very tuff...
Anyone found a 135mm hub with symmetrical flange spacing (center to flange distance the same for both drive and brake side flanges)?
The only ones I've found that are close are American Classic/WTB, but even those are about 5mm difference.
I run a 440 on the dh bike because it has...

I posted this on the monkey, but figured people here would be interested in it as well.
The stock spring is quite stiff. I'm 105kg (230lb) and it is quite good for me with very little preload.
First ride and general impressions in the absolute pissing wet:

I've recently come into a certain amount of cash and new forks are on the cards.
The new Boxxer Team and 888 evo (not the ti) have come into the radar. The main concern I have, is that the importer (SVC) could be very much like the old one in that getting any sort of warranty claim in is...

Had a bit of a problem yesterday at Long Gully with my front tire coming off my rim. Happened twice, once with getto tubeless and once with a tube. I run 32psi in the front. It's really annoying, happenes in g-out berms. Any tires that won't come off the bloody rim?

A desire to drink less weight gaining beer (I like stout) has lead me to start drinking a lot more of the clear spirits like gin and vodka. I write this on my 2nd day of holiday's, drinking a nice Bombay Saphire lime and tonic. Only a one drink left of the 1ltr bottle from duty free.

Bit of an update: Some 4 pots because I'm not light. A swank new Elka, of which I'll give a good review once I've had a chance to ride it and new rear wheel expertly assembled by the good people at Sprung. New chainguide because the SuperGod was looking sad.
I'm after a jersey that's bright/fluro green with not a bunch of over done designs on it like TLD. Like this, but in a long sleeve dh jersey.
