    130kg rider and suspension set up

    Yep folks, I currently weigh in on just under 130kg and started riding again recently after gaining a good 25kg. Now, the obvious question I have is whether there is someone who offers different shocks for my Felt Edict. I think it's just a matter of time before my Monarch RT3 retires...

    Road Races

    Hi, wouldn't it be nice to have a sticky of some sort that announces road races and perhaps a separate one that announces Offroad races, too? I have swapped my MTB with a Road bike permanently and am looking for some races (not so serious ones), where I can benchmark with others in the...

    MS gong ride roll call 2011

    My first time, too! I'm planning sub 4 but expecting more a 4-4.5! My goal was $2500 and I'm only 10% into it. I guess with the amount of time left, I won't reach this goal. http://register.gongride.org.au/2011-Sydney-to-Gong-Ride/Fighting+MS

    Loose spoke(s)

    Okay, might seem a nerdy question, but I cannot find an answer anywhere; On my Roadie, I noticed shortly after buying the bike, that a spoke became loose all the time. Perhaps every 200km or so. Now, I realised that there are many more becoming loose and not only after 200km but after 4k's...

    New Rim for heavy rider

    Yes/No! Yes it was inspired after transpiring up the hills. No Sat ride was not the cause, it was buckled a long time ago and I felt how floppy the rear end is, with a buckled wheel. :p

    New Rim for heavy rider

    Okay, I did search the threads but couldn't find the answer, hence I start a new thread; I am in excess of 100kg and ride a Mavic Crosstrail on my back which is totally stuffed. Within budget, what is a good replacement that I should get for my weight? It has to be 24 spokes and UST...

    Castle Hill Ride

    Fred Caterson Reserve Hi everyone, I am planning to unwrap my MTB the first time this year and check out Fred Caterson Reserve in Castle Hills. Is it a waste of time, or is there anything interesting to discover? What about Quarry Road in Dural? I tried it once and ended up in Hornsby. Is...

    Gamin connect substitute

    Hi, for the last twelve months I use my Garmin Edge 705 to analyze my rides. Of course only for the sake of analysing....... I was a premium user on motionbased but since motionbased had been taken over by garmin, I am missing some functions like weather details in the area, or the climbing...
