I use my crossie for commuting but with the standard chainring setup 30-39-50 teeth setup I end up with a bad chainline stuck between my middle and big chainring. So I went out and bought a new slightly bigger middle ring at 42 when the last ring wore out and had problems with my derailler...

Would be cool if there was a specific forum where people could post up jobs that they are offering or have found are being offered in the industry. Not just talking about retailers, but maunfacturers, distributers and even people building bike infrastructure. Alot of jobs are found through...

As I am now working for council building on road bike lanes I get to choose a fleet bike in order to do inspections/meet council bike fleet objectives. I also get to spend $500 on accessories, which is mainly for safety and security such as locks, helmets etc So I originally though a Masi...

The idea is to get MTB (preferably a 29er) then add some drop bars and a rigid fork if you don’t have one already and enjoy. Are there any of these bike around in Aus? Sounds like a fun idea. Can be run SS or geared. Most have Discs due to their MTB background. Midgee Bars are also...

I am looking at getting a 29er fork, though wouldnt mind feedback from the 26er about the ride quality and durability of the On-One Fork. I have seen a few guys riding rigid forks at races and it interests me as it is the main downside I have found riding rigid, that I can get some sore hand...

Finally a CX series in Melbourne. 3 races each a month apart 27th June Brunswich velodrone 25th July Darebin Parklands 29th August TBA You will need a CA license which is $30 for 3 races. Entry is $10. Should be a fun one if the interest in the Warby CX race is anything to go by.

Track So i just completed the Forrest 6hr is some relatively muddy conditions. For those who haven't been lucky enough to ride at Forrest the conditions were varying from well draining sandy soils, some overgrown firetrail and some muddy/slippery clays. The course was has good flow, not too...

I have done 7000km on my 1 year old CX bike which I use mainly for commuting on. The beef is that the BB is now cactus, with lots of play :mad:. Who the hell puts a square taper a 2009 bike! The options to replace it with are pretty ordinary and low grade. I just dont understand why they...

Yep I mangled the allen key holes on my SPD bolts, so after hacksawing and alot of muscle with a screwdriver I managed to get the bolts out. Looking at the thread on the bolt I can see why it was in such bad form. So much muck and rust. What is the best way of making sure that my bolts go...

For those of you that arent familiar with a S240 the idea is to go for a short bikepacking trip carrying your camping gear and be back in 24hours. It means that you dont have to set aside an entire weekend, allows you to get in some riding and to get away from the city for a night and enjoy the...

Lost my Mr Whirly Tension cap at Lysterfield last week and I am struggling to buy a new one. Has anyone found it? Have no idea where it came off, but the cranks fell off on the Middle Track and I was going anti-clockwise. So I guess somewhere before there. Any help would be great...

When I was in the US it was the thing for SS 29er riders to try and clear logs more than 2 foot high. I wanted to show off now that I have 29er but when I did I bent the bash guard (Salsa Ring Dinger) luckily outwards. Guess that it is a bit flimsy for what I wanted...

I cant remember where I heard it from and who it was about (maybe the Van de Ploegs) But the story goes that some elites would ride a massive training ride that was a big loop that included riding the tracks at Lysterfield, Beaconsfield and Officer. I think that it may have even included a ride...
