    NSW *SOLD* 2004 Giant NRS 1 - good entry level dually/project bike

    For sale is my Giant NRS 1 dual suspension. Good solid xc/enduro bike (NRS was equivalent to the Anthem in its day), and you still see heaps around at races. Yep, it's older, with less travel, but it climbs super well, and because the rear suspension rides firm, it's very efficient, and doesn't...

    Bent handlebars...?

    Does anybody know some good ways to test if I've bent my handlebars and/or stem? I'm pretty sure at least the bars are bent from a crash, but it makes my eyes water trying to tell for sure. Left side seems to have been pushed forwards and down. Also, I wonder - if the bars were bent - has...

    2004 Giant NRS 1

    Shortening brake lines- Shimano SLX

    Ok, so I've just got a new set of SLX brakes. I wasn't expecting them to come pre-bled, but they have, and now I need to shorten the lines. I've had a bit of a look around and couldn't find a thread on cutting lines... so, any pointers from anyone? The brakes didn't come with instructions...

    Field of Mars as a trail site?

    Hey, I'm in Gladesville, and taking a look around the Field of Mars area (walking, not riding - it's not legal), it seems to me like a perfect place for a Manly Dam style track of about 5kms. Good hill, variety of terrain etc, central location for a huge area. I wonder if there's the...
