    Replace Guide RS lever with Guide RSC

    Hi, I assume the calipers are the same for the Guide RS and RSC. I like my brakes biting at the start of the lever travel which can't be accommodated for on my current Guide RS brakes. I've found some RSC levers which sell for $75 per end, however, they're displayed as the Guide RSC G2 (?)...

    Increase HUB buzz and engagement?

    Hey, All my bikes to date have had the DT SWISS 240s (non-boost) with upgraded 36T star ratchet. Love the sound - love the angry bees. I recently picked up the 2018 Trance Advanced 1, which I believe runs DT SWISS hubs (boost), but with 3 pawl. I haven't actually opened it to look...

    FOUND iphone - Lysterfield trails

    Di2 internal battery mounting options

    Hi guys, So I ended up buying the BT-DN110 internal Di2 battery, but as it turns out, it doesn't actually fit the SM-BTR2 bottle mount holder.. :( The holder is not long enough and could I guess work with some modification and drilling etc. Does anyone know if the DN110 will fit the...

    Hey all I'm moving to di2 XT and just about to order the parts. However, I've seen seen the XTR M9050 display for sale at nearly AUD $80 less than the SC-MT800 XT display. Any reason not to get the XTR? Or does it have some other function, connection, something that the XT doesn't have...

    Stans Notubes kit

    Hey peeps, I've installed a stans notubes kit onto an Alex Rim Super Comp (18mm). However, the bead won't set. The instruction manual says to not inflate past 40psi, but even at that pressure (plus soapy water), the bead won't set. I've reduced the amount of rim tape used to try provide...

    Hey, Sorry I know there's been a lot of discussion about these ebay China carbon frames 'on the line'. I'm thinking about getting one as a side project. This is the one I'm looking at, unless someone has a good reason to not buy it (a few people on other forums have this frame)...

    3x9 chain dropping

    Hey forum, I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a device or otherwise to minimise/prevent chain drop on a 3x9 setup of mine. The setup is on a 2011 SB-66 and I've tried googling an answer, but none are actually helpful. Eg. remove big ring and replace with a bash guard, shift to big...

    Wheelbase after new fork

    Howdy, I recently changed over my 120mm DT Swiss XMM fork to a 2013 Cannondale Lefty XLR 130mm (modified to 120mm). The front wheel size is 26 for both setups. Is anyone able to confirm whether or not if Leftys result in a longer wheelbase when compared to a conventional fork? Is the...

    Selling a bike on rotorburn

    Hey, So finally got trading access! What's the protocol for selling a bike? Sell to the first person that sends you a pm or sell to the first person that offers you the money you seek? My preference is to sell to whoever gives me the money. But just feel bad for the others - however...

    MTB iphone app

    Hey peeps, Can any recommend, or even verify if one exists, a GPS style app for iOS? I know there are a few logging and record keeping apps (Strava, Map my ride, etc), but does there exist one which downloads maps and gives turn-by-turn (or indicative) information about your ride, which...

    Hey, So I've got the Cannondale Rush which currently runs a 7.5 x 1.75 fox 2008 rp23. I got myself a really good deal on a 2012 (kashima) rp23 from CRC (or at least what I thought was a good deal) but it has a length of 7.5 x 2.0. Ken from Tekin previously mentioned that all I would...

    Replacement frame options for Cannondale Rush Carbon

    Hey guys (and girls) My Rush Carbon frame seems to have developed a 'crack' sound which I can't locate. It's not creaking, but will let out a snap/crack sound at some point during my ride. I don't know when it will occur, or specifically what I'm doing when it happens - it sometimes happens...

    Hey, Just wondering whether or not I need to grease my seatpost before installing?? Seatpost is RockShox Reverb, frame is allow SB-66. SRAMtech says to not grease (but use friction paste), but the bike shop tells me to put grease on. Any final answers? Thanks

    Elixir CR vs Formula R1 - Trail vs Race brake

    I'm looking to replace my Elixir CRs with Formula R1s... now the Formula R1s are marketed as 'race brakes', but the description and many comments say it's good for AM/FR/Enduro too. The bike will mainly be for XC/Trail stuff (no racing), so my question is, are race brakes simply lighter than...

    Helibiking New Zealand

    Hey, Any one know companies that organise heli-biking in the North Island? Auckland or Rotorua areas, which is where I'll be riding in general. Google hasn't found much for North, presumably not much there, when compared to say Queenstown. Cheers, Chris
