Firstly I wanna say that I'm not looking at blaming anybody as I wasn't hurt and I received these wheels as a gift. I'm asking this question as it will affect my future wheel purchases. These are shimano Dura Ace C24's. I'm not going to be seeking any kind of warranty (thru the original...

I'm new to the roadie thing. I'm considering buying a flat bar single speed (free hub) roadie for improving my pedalling technique and power. I also wanna look cool in the cafe strip! I'm not buying one of those short fixie bars just a normal flatbar. My bike comes out as both a single...

http://www.ninerbikes.com/rip9rdo Beautiful frame. This should be amazing. My alloy RIP9 has been such an amazing bike and has travelled the world with me. I have needed this companies help regarding a small issue with my frame and their response has been nothing short of first class...

I have found my next dream bike. http://www.kingdombike.com/TheKingdom/?p=1230#comment-848

When I've ridden a trail enough times I find you get more complacent about it and go harder. Add a video cam to that situation and therere is a true recipe for a good crash. Its been a few days now and I think I got away with it. Good to laugh at your own mistakes sometimes I guess...

:cheer2:I've always been fascinated by the popularity of these Orange bikes which I always thought looked very industrial and basic.:behindsofa: Now that I've been in the UK 12 months and actually seen alot of what they can do I'm very impressed. The backyard industrial looks actually grow on...

I just wanted to say how great this place is compared to lots of other mtb sites. I'm not sure if its because were Australian, or because of the mods disciplinary actions, but I just don't see anywhere near the amount of flaming, self promotion, name dropping and just general bull-shit that you...

http://www.vimeo.com/24606775 Get better soon mate. Thanks for the fantastic entertainment.

I'm in Wales UK for the next 18 months. My RIP9 is eating up all these magnificent trail centres around here. Coming from Perth I'm having some major issues coming to grips with the clay and slushy deep mud they have around these parts. My trusty Maxxis Ignitor/Crossmark combo that I've been...

Fellow Vets! I thank whichever mod is responsible for starting this forum. Having long left our puberty behind, hopefully we'll all enjoy some mature and friendly discussions here, without too much of the ego or testosterone driven replies that plague many other forums. I thought that this...

The subject of drinking has come up a fair bit in this subforum already. I've often considered how much my drinking affects my MTB performance so I thought I'd put it out there. The TV ads here in WA tell us not to consume more than 2 standard drinks on any day!! Crazy advice like that just...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z1fSpZNXhU I can't believe this is possible on a roadie. Unbelievable. Wonder how often he has to true his wheels.

After 18 months of service my Intense 6.6 is retiring. This bike rides fantastic and has copped a real beating over the last 18 months. The VPP rear is very plush and it climbs great for a bike of this style. It does however benefit from compression dampening on lengthy climbs. It has...

I bought a Salsa a year ago for commuting. It was all rigid with slicks, a bag rack and flashing red tail lights. When my Intense 6.6 trail bike became sick, the Salsa became a mountain bike. It grew 120mm forks, riser bars, and a pair of WTB Weirwolf 2.5 inch balloon tyres. This bike...

With the increasing number of quality interstate and international events, I've been looking at purchasing a good bag to protect your most precious possession. I've used standard bike boxes before but it didn't save my front wheel from an irrepairable buckle after a recent trip to Alice...

Got a week off in June...planning a solid week of mountain-biking with the missus somewhere in Aus. Looking for suggestions of where would be the best destinations in terms of trail numbers, variety, and quality. Mainly do XC and AM riding. Keen to explore a new area with LOTS of trails to...

I'm a relative newbie to the race scene. I've done a few Anaconda races but thats about it. Just registered for this week of racing. I can't wait. http://www.rapidascent.com.au/AnacondaMTBEnduro/Default.aspx?e=7 I was hoping to gain any words of wisdom from some of you more experienced...

Strange request I know, and believe me I've used the search engine to avoid starting this thread. I've been dating this bird who is obsessed with hot pink! She's a super fit triathlete, and she now wants to give mountain biking a try for adventure races & events like Anaconda. She's after...

Hoping to get a little advice prior to a big purchase. I'm an aggressive XC rider weigh 100kgs and am 6'1. XC bikes don't do it for me as evidenced by multiple recent arse over head stacks resulting in a powdered elbow from which I have just recovered. I used to ride a Norco Shore 3 and moved...
