Thanks mate. Great info.

Hey all, we're hitting St Helens next week on the way thru. Which trail is the "Blue Velvet" of St Helens and which is the "Freight Train"? Our time is limited. Much appreciated.

Thanks Creaky for the idea. Ill get onto them.

Last month (riding big chook) I had the blue CTD popout of my Fox 34 Talas 5 and lost eveything in between - tiny spring and other bits. I managed to find the blue dial (pictured below). The bike is due for replacement (2014 Trance SX) and I'd be lucky to get a few hundred bucks for it - hence I...

Agreed - but shuttling is so competitive and cheap ($10 per run with MADMTB). Cheapskates shuttling themselves are not likely to fork out to rent a 2-way.

Do you really want to go to Whistler and not ride A-Line?? Don't overcook it. Rent yourself a DH bike with plenty of travel. Make sure you have full face and plenty of armour. Book the day before to ensure you have brake levers switched over to 'aussie style'. Start the day cruising the blues...

Monc, We rode Livigno for a week in 2016. What a great place. We rode DH/All mountain when we were there but will be going back for XC next time. There is plenty of riding there, very few aussies, duty free alcohol and €1.50 cappuccino's on the hill. We had our kids with us, there is plenty of...

Binner, Ive done Moab and Colorado a few times previously on both XC and DH trips. A bunch of us did Moab, CB and others again in Aug '17 as a DH trip. Something to beware of with your trip planning to Utah are the temps. USA mates ride Moab and Fruita in May. We were lucky doing the Whole...

I'm sorry this reply may be be a bit late. I often have pedals in carry on both domestic and intl. (by bike in bag with a few larger items hits the 23kg limit). No-one has ever questioned them. They are just pedals.

Hey thanks everyone for the feedback. Im feeling a little more confident now. Enjoy.

Hi all, I'm a noob when it comes to replacing rims. I don't have easy access to bike shops (nearest one 850km away) so am keen to have a go at replacing the rim myself. I've damaged my front Giant P-TRX1 27.5 rim It's an Alloy, 28 spokes and has ETRTO 584x21 printed on the rim. I want to...

Can it print a Tarantula 3D printer kit?

You have a thousand places to choose from. Just to throw another into the mix, I spent a week in Livigno, Italy last month riding Mottolino bike park. Its not an easy place to get too, which suits me - it is nice being the only Aussie on the hill (as opposed to Canadian bike parks). Great...

As for racing, Velosure cover racing. Look them up. In BC you can often buy insurance for single events at registration - but need a Canadian address and health insurance. If you 'helping' with Cranxworx and only being paid with a couple of beers each night and some raffle tickets for a new...

Thanks Joel for the heads up. I had already bought TID insurance for a trip next month. But I'm not dragging a bike this trip. I'm gunna give renting a try. Cheers.

Quarantine are looking for dirt and other bio-security threats. They generally check tyres and shoes. Have your bike shoes handy. Sometimes they will take shoes away for a couple of minutes (I think they spray/fog them for bugs). I don't think anyone else is interested in the bike.

Try travel insurance direct. (TID) I used them for north america last year for $4000 bike cover. Also - make sure you read the PDS for the company you choose. Some of the travel insurance policies exclude Mountain Bike Parks. Tip - open the PDS - search for 'bike' 'park' and 'mountain' - it...

wait what - your'e checking out an mtb forum from Hakuba valley on a Saturday night and you dont even have a bike? hmmmm??

Its nice for a couple of runs. Even nicer now there are a dozen log bridges to keep you dry. While you are there also do a couple of runs on the Klingsporn. Both are bridle trails and will be ok on a hard tail. Also both trails end in Mirrimbah and old mate at the general store runs shuttles...

thanks for the heads up. here - have a potato
