    Buxton and Lake Mountain Thread

    Thanks! Was keen to give the top section a ride after it's had a few improvements since I was last out but I might just skip it and roll in from the ticket box!

    Buxton and Lake Mountain Thread

    It's been a while since I've been out to Lake Mountain, what do people reckon would the trail conditions be like this weekend given the weather this week?

    Mystic MTB - Bright

    Blue dirt are offering refunds to people, which would suggest blue dirt will charge you for shuttles and you will still need to purchase a pass from ACP. Which will bring a shuttle day to 100 bucks per person if you only buy a day pass.

    WTF is happening with Five Ten?

    https://www.frontierequipment.com.au/collections/unparallel They do, just the climbing shoes though. You can also go through the motions of ordering onine with them, but no shipping options to australia. Im sure if you dropped them a line they would sort you out, if not, shipito.com will sort...

    WTF is happening with Five Ten?

    Theres another thread from a few weeks ago, Adidas are rolling manufacturing into their own factories and out of the existing 5.10 product factories. I would think theyre probably getting ready to ramp up supply for the northern hemisphere summer. If you're desperate, there are at least 2 shoe...

    Formula Cura 4s

    The lever throw is quite short but that's just the start of the pad contact, consistent and easy. Pull harder and the power gets right to the point, easy to modulate but not hard try to throw yourself over the bars.

    Fox 40's sagging when lowering air pressure

    Cycle the forks as you let the air out. There is a dimple in the stanchion that allows air to transfer between the positive and negative chambers to equalise the pressures. As you let air out you're effectively increasing the negative air spring pressure comparative to the positive which will...

    Buxton and Lake Mountain Thread

    I think a lot of the dust and damage came from inexperienced riders dragging their brakes down the first of the two new descents. It's a steep track if you're not a regular gravity rider. I came out it to the fire road to find 10 or so people on a variety of ebikes and xc rigs. They were letting...

    Needle in the eye (needle bearing shock eyelet bushings)

    It very much depends on your bike, if the shock doesn't experience a large amount of rotation around an eyelet then the needle bearing won't be much benefit. Polymers are easy, if you're happy with them stick with them.

    Needle in the eye (needle bearing shock eyelet bushings)

    I guess if the design intent is to supply polymer eyelet bushes, close enough is good enough?

    Needle in the eye (needle bearing shock eyelet bushings)

    I have bought both the DIY and the RWC units. The RWC come with more/better seals for the bearings, and as noted a range of shaft sizes to make sure you get a tight fit. The bearing itself is identical, it's just the extras that come with it. Check the thread on MTBR hardware spacing, I'm sure...
