It says bad things about me that I enjoyed watching this so much...

So, we bought a house with a massive pool last summer. 15m long 2.6m deep, call it a 100,000 litres for a round number. I have never owned or a wanted a pool but I did enjoy it last summer after a ride and looking forward to getting it to run better this summer. My better half would love to run...

Hi guys, Last Sunday there was a very serious accident at Old Mans Valley / Hornsby Mountain Bike Trail. Kid was helicoptered out etc. I have spoken to the dad of the kid that was injured. Police managed to get his bike and gear back to the family except for a school sports bag. I imagine the...

What do people think of Axl fronting the band? For me it seems a bridge to far with the other changes in the line up over recent times, just not the same. Hitler doesn't seem impressed either... https://youtu.be/kzt8AThSDoI

Finally at Thredbo, yesterday's trip turned into an epic. Share your adventures. We were finally packed and ready to go at 4.00pm. 4 blokes/8 bikes and associated crap. 40+ degrees. Got onto the M4 and about 200m in the panhard rod on the front of the Jeep let go, front axle moving all over...

Today was my first day of being unemployed in over 25 years, felt awesome :cheer2: I got up in the morning and finished off a spreadsheet for my old work that I said I would sort out. Took my daughter off to school holiday drama class and then went for a ride. Somewhere in the midst of...

I still haven't found anyone with a setup to ream and face a 44mm head tube, so it looks like I will be buying the reamer and facer :Cry: For a 44mm head tube Park recommend using the 690XL facer in conjunction with the 788 reamer and the 750 centering cone. Now I can get a 690XXL (for...

Does anyone in Sydney have a head tube reamer and facer for a 44mm head tube? Cheers

I am heading up to camp near Tea Gardens tomorrow morning (from Sydney) and I need a new narrow wide chain ring. Can anyone suggest a bike shop up that way that is likely to have one in stock? Cheers

Hoping somebody can help. Just about finished building my '79 Mongoose Motomag in time for our '2nd Annual Fathers Day BMX Bash' and a small flake of rust fell out of the seat tube... Without destroying the paint is there anyway to treat the frame, get rid of the rust/stop it coming back...

I thought it would probably be a 9-36 cassette but according to the Dirt article it will be a 10-42 cassette that gives a massive range with a single front ring. SRAM have also done something funky to the front chainring so you don't need a chain guide. I imagine if you need to ask how much then...
