All, I need help, I have a pair of carbon wheels that I just cannot easily get tubeless rim tape to stick to, the normal suspects- stans, orange, effeto mariposa just will not stick to the carbon. I've currently got it setup with wide electrical tape... but it's really hurting my OCD. Any tips...

Alright all, So I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I need to properly secure my bikes. We are currently lucky with where we live in a strata, with a number of older residents who are home during the day and the house has an alarm which I'm lucky that my son turns on when he leaves for...

Hi Guys, Looking for some recommendations for custom wheel builders here in Australia. Is there anyone who builds for a living and not part of a shop? I've used Wheelworks in NZ in the past, but their prices have gone way up and want to look at something local. Advice appreciated Bear

Hi Guys, I'm wondering if there are larger CO2 cartridges available than 25gms? I run wide rims with larger volume tires and 25gms isn't getting them up to ridable pressure after puncturing. While I can take 2x on training rides with a pump, in race situations this adds weight and is more of...

Hi All, I'm after opinions/ experiences people have had with the various companies who do carbon frame repairs. I have a frame that has a minor crack in the top tube which is repairable. The two companies I have found are paint my bike and carbon bike repair and carbon cycle repair. Thx.

For those that may be interested it is possible to change out the headset on 2012 bikes and newer running overdrive 2 and convert back to 1 1/8th" & 1 1/2" cups. The overall head tube has not been enlarged for the new standard, just the upper bearing customised to Giant spec's. Just put a CK...
