After suggestions for my next bike. Budget to ~$5k, has to be aluminium, and really after a coil rear for that uber small bump velvety feel. 150-160mm travel and 27.5". I know, quite specific, but other than a Giant Reign SX I can't think of anything else that might also fit the bill. The YT...

I've been using Oury lock-ons for over a decade and really like the large diameter and level of grip. Having recently done some Thredbo trips I find they're a little too hard and my hands have been a little bruised up. Wondering if the non-lock-on version is any softer and worth going for...

I'm hitting up Munich in late May this year, and hoping to get 2-3 days at one or two of the bike parks there. There's 14 I've found on this site: http://www.worldbikeparks.com/locator Anyone ridden any they would recommend? Difficult to know what to expect from the websites. I'm looking...

Contemplating a Reign 1 or Remedy 9 for general riding, and a few Thredbo trips each year. Any endorsements for which? I'm one of those guys who's happy to trade climb ability for plushness going down. I've owned older Reigns and Remedys, have been happy with both brands. The Reign has...

Got a new roadie with an Apex groupset. I've only got a handful of road kms on it, but my first thought was damn these mechanical Avid BB7 brakes are weak. They use 140mm rotors both ends. I've previously (ages ago) owned a bike with 105 rim brakes and they were super strong. Rolling down my...

Hey I'm new to the area (Berowra Heights), are there any locals that know the trails and want to show me around? I've seen the trail at the end of Turner, starting to explore that, but hoping for some techy stuff - surely there's something that heads directly downhill to the water (shuttles)...

Need to find a shock for a VT 1 Giant, does anyone know the eye-to-eye I need?

My mate is borrowing back the forks he leant me (how dare he) so I need some new ones for my SS commuter. They're older aero carbons with v-brake tabs (I only need disc), any suggestions? I'm not a huge fan of the look of the straight forks like Nuke Proof, White Bros etc, but can't seem to...

I'm running some 28mm Gatorskins on my commuter at the moment, but rather than carry a tube and pump, would rather just run a tubeless tyre with latex (my rims are tubeless). Anyone know of anything? I can't seem to find anything at all...... either a slick like the gators, or something like...

On my new build, if I torque the star nut up at a usual torque, the steering is far too tight. So I loosen it off, and feels fine but with the front brake on and rocking it forward and back, it clunks a lot. On my other bikes there's a huge middleground for some fine adjustments. But on...

Installed the BB until tight, but the drive side has the neat trim ring, the non-drive side is left with about 3mm thread protrusion. Had a shop check it out and said that's how it was, all ok. Any other thoughts or feedback? And if it's correct, any way to clean it up? BTW this is a...

Anyone know if you can use spacers to lower the travel of these forks at all?

Item: Bike work stand Location: Northern Beaches NSW Reason: I only have two hands Price: Up to $50 I'm looking for a cheap used bike stand if you're looking to offload. Preferably within 25km radius of Narrabeen. Cheers.

Just wondering if you can get a hub with a back pedal brake these days in a 135mm size? I wasn't sure if they still exist or not....

I want to build up a bike for roosting to the shops, jumping off a few gutters and stairs, and popping a few monos around the park. May even do the odd trail ride. I'm not sure where to start with frame choice though. Need some advice, I'd like to keep it at $600max for a frame. Any...

I'm thinking of heading there for a spin today at 12:30pm if anyone's keen to join.
