    Frame it!

    I'm in the mood for a new hardtail build, which due to existing parts will be a 2x10 drivetrain. I've got the following flexible criteria: - 29er (same wheels as my Optic) - boost rear spacing (see above) - steel frame (never ridden one, am interested to try it out) - 120-130mm fork...

    Shimano Compatibility

    Should be a simple answer - can you use a M8000 front derailleur with a M780 shifter?

    Helmets

    OK, so the search function sucks and I can't find a decent thread on this; I had an off last weekend and pinged my helmet covered melon off a rock, enough for it to make me woozy. So, new helmet time. Ordinarily I'd head out and buy the exact same model but I can't find a non-black (yeah heat)...

    Frame Protection

    New bike, and the forum's search function is shite. Folks, frameskin don't have a kit for a Norco Optic - and I need some good options to protect the shiny green paint. I see pushys have some 'All Mountain Style' stuff, but it seems... small. What are your thoughts?

    Recommend me a 29er

    Burners - I've been hunting around for the bike I see as 'the one'. Here's what I'm looking for: - a 29er with 100mm - 120mm rear travel - modern geo with a sub 70 degree head angle - a nice colour, I'm sick of the stealth black thing, and I don't particularly like red / orange - bottle cage...

    RockShox interchangeability

    Suspension gurus... forgive me for my lack of knowledge of part names. I have a (spare) 2015 RockShox SID XX fork (SID B I think). In the uppers there is the XLoc lockout mechanism which I believe is removable and replaceable with the RCT3 version of the same part (someone please tell me the...

    Hope 'Boost' hubs

    Simple question - is it possible to convert Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs to 'boost' spacing via caps / axles? I'm considering a 6fattie purchase and wanted to know if I could use a 29er wheelset with Hope hubs in the same frame / fork.

    XC Tyres

    I'm building up a 650B XC hardtail, and was chasing some opinions on tyre choice. I'm using DT Swiss X1700 wheels for the build, aiing to go tubeless, and will generally be riding trails in WA's southwest which vary from hardpack to gravel to loose sandy tops. Mostly fire trail type stuff, which...

    Which Fork?

    For a budget of under $600, I'm looking for options on a 100-120mm travel 650b XC fork. I'm also a bit of a wanker when it comes to colour and would prefer if they are white. At the moment - considering these: http://www.jensonusa.com/Rockshox-Re...-275-Fork-2013 Anyone got any other thoughts?
