Going to play around with my cockpit a bit, and am looking for a second hand stem: 80mm length with a reversible rise/drop (current is 8 degrees, but i'm pretty flexible as long as not 0 degrees) Price? Looking for something around $30 posted (or picked up in Sydney CBD/Inner West). Pretty...

Hi guys - I've had a search on the forums for this topic, to no avail.. I'm heading up to the Gold Coast for work in August for a few days and thinking about sticking around for the weekend as well. I'm trying to find out whether I can hire a decent mountain bike while i'm up there to do...

Item: GoPro HD Hero 3 Black Edition Bundle Location: Sydney CBD / Inner West Item Condition: Condition is excellent – I bought it all for a mountain biking trip to Canada in July where I used it for about 3.5 weeks on and off. It's been sitting in a cupboard at home for the last 2 months...

Saw this on MTBR, and am shamelessly ripping it. That's a whole lot of travel for a 29er.. i'm intrigued Enduro Comp 29 SE. M5 alloy FSR 29 frame with 155mm-travel, 142mm + dropouts, ISCG '05 mount. $3500 USD apparently. 150mm front FOX 34 Float CTD; 155mm FOX Float CTD rear...

So I'm surprised no one seems to have commented on this bike being released. It's certainly got me interested to try one out - i'm not sure whether I could replace the Anthem 29er with it given that i'm trying to do a few more endurance races these days, but damn, it looks like a fun bike to...

New stuff was announced by Santa Cruz overnight.. both a superlight and AL highball with single speed capabilities.. More at the link below: http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/02/21/first-look-santa-cruz-superlight-29er-highball-alloy-29er-mountain-bikes/ I have to admit, I was interested...

So, the girlfriend is rather happy with her new entry level bike (Giant Talon 2W), however is bemoaning the lack of hydraulic brakes that she tested on my bike. The Talon 2W comes with combined brakes/shifters (Shimano Altus EF60 24 sp. EZ FIRE+) with mechanical disks. I thought, as a birthday...

http://www.bikerumor.com/2011/06/29/first-look-2012-kona-satori-29er-130mm-travel-big-wheel-mountain-bike/ Interesting - the first 29er i've seen with the Fox 34 on it, although the specs suggest a Revelation (despite the pics having the Fox). I think we're going to see a lot of new 29ers at...

Thought i'd post this up given the popularity of Sparks in this part of the world.. http://terrengsykkel.no/index.php?id=3663 http://www.mtb-forum.it/scott-spark-2012/

Interesting to see cheaper 29ers start to filter through from Giant: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-US/bikes/model/talon.29er.1.2011/6966/43133/ ~400USD cheaper than the XTC 29er 2.. I wonder if we'll see these brought out to Aus. How do you think they'd fare?

Haven't seen this pop up around here, and only vaguely recall hearing about this bike a while ago (Interbike maybe?). Looks interesting, and great pricing if true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNZ66HzsmQo From Bike Rumor:

Well, rumors are starting to float around about an Anthem X 29er to follow up Giant's XTC 29er. People on MTBR are citing 'reps' telling them that it's on its way. http://forums.mtbr.com/showpost.php?p=6562217&postcount=14 Admitedly, it's not exactly a great source, but what are people's...

Well, thought it was about time to post my ride - a 2009 Giant Alias. Luckily i picked it up in September last year, before the price rises came in - i'm now around $400 better off! Essentially, this is a first bike for me - so nothing too flash at the moment! I'm more interested in XC so am...

Came across this while avoiding doing work today... Vaguely MTB related :) It might almost make me want to ride to work! Apparently it's about $30USD a month for storage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIHrmN_ptJc&eurl

I'm looking to make the move to clipless pedals given the strong support of them on these forums, and the increasing number of cuts/scratches down the front of my legs :) I'm very much at the entry level, and am looking to add them to a giant alias 09 for mostly XC riding (Manly Dam being the...

I've come across a problem with my rear disc brake making a rubbing sound, and i'm having some difficulty diagnosing the problem, so i thought i'd put out a question to the experts here on Farkin! Basically, i went up over a curb on Wednesday last week, and without thinking didn't hop my...
