I stuck a metal carabiner on the front of my shoes, then placed a larger one on the handlebars with velcro tape. I then put some rubber camping o-rings into the handlebar carabiner. Then when I changed shoes, I just clipped the shoes to the handlebar carabiner, and pulled the o-ring around the...

Yes, and No. Ill elaborate though! I intend to post more details of what I did soon too. At Pacific Palms, I only had enough time to take a goat track from Pacific Palms near the Tourist info centre across to Sandbar. But once we completed this, (which was a challenge in which even with a...

I had mine built at TwoWheelIndustries. I only had a single rear built as it was damaged beyond repair. I have little experience so wont claim them to be good, but my wheel has been fine. Mavic TN 719 was built for me. They were recommended by some Tri/Road guys.

Hi Team. I love my 29er. Wouldnt go back to a 26er. Had a Specialized Rockhopper 26er that was stolen, and replaced it with a Rockhopper 29er. Recently raced in Canberra at the AROC Sport Adventure Race and consistently found myself passing riders with ease. Less peddling and rolled right by...

75kgs (generally...:D)

Yeh +1 for a pic. I work in town so I will keep an eye out. Im still keeping an eye out for my stolen Specialized Rockhopper from months ago. Good luck.

After a bit of discussion with LBS, suggestion is to go with a Mavic A317. Keep standard Hubs, and lace up with new spokes. My gut feel is that I should go with TN719's instead, again with standard hubs only because there is a 2 week delay on XT's and I cant wait that long for some!

I'm not 100% sure of the brand of hub, but the stock hub is reported as: Hubs: Specialized Hi/Lo Disc Specific Rims: Alex Alloy Double Wall. Its has the standard SRAM x5 on it currently, and that is something I intend to change in around 12 months from now when I will have some budget and...

Hi all, I have recently been getting more into my riding, with some trips to Awaba as well as regular Glenrock weekends. Ive recently purchased a Specialized Rockhopper 29er and want to replace the rear wheelset (or just the rim). (Due to a minor prang...:p) But, I havent been long...

What bothers me is that my bike was recently stolen, and the theif left an older bike when they took mine. I called the shop which sold the bike that was left behind, and they essentially said "we dont keep serial numbers". The shop that sold mine has also been unable to provide me with the...

Hi guy_p, sorry for the slow reply - didnt get a notification for some reason. The Giant has shocks and was sold in a town north of Newcastle. (Which is vague, I realise! But for the owner should be useful...)
