    Thredbo New All Mountain Trail

    Yeah, going to Thredbo for Easter. Also read that this Saturday, A 6km extension of the Thredbo Valley Track from Bullocks Flat to Thredbo River Picnic area opens. Link that up with existing TVT + the AM trail for a super long descent almost all the way to Jindy.

    Giant anthem sx - the right choice?

    The 2016 zero offset dropper post helps overcome this somewhat. Not something I've picked up on yet but haven't done a great deal of climbing on the bike. Re the trance v sx, I also had the chance to demo the 2016 Trance Advanced 1 late last year on a trip to Majura Pines & thredbo. The...

    Giant, how to pick between TCR, Defy and Propel

    Im on a 2015 Propel. The Advanced Pro 0 with Ultegra DI2. The only reason I’m riding that is to be legally able to race. Its a fast bike, but to get the most out of the aero frame, you need to be flexible enough to get down low & take advantage of the aero attributes. No point in getting a...

    Post your Roadie

    From what i have read on the internet, Stages have been very good with warranty claims. I really hope it gets sorted out asap for you Ackland & they replace the whole crank arm with a new one for you. Also read that a better battery & seal on the battery housing has been made recently. I think...

    pushys has the 3C exo TR in 29 for $52 I have run the ikons front & rear & found it a great tyre & a very fast setup for xc. The only place they feel down was in damp, wet clay conditions where the knobs couldn't shed the mud. I currently run the ikon on the rear of both my xc bikes. On...
