    VIC FOUND: M988 XTR Trail brake levers

    As you may have read elsewhere through these pages, my #1 retrolicious bike was nicked recently, and I'm looking at building up a replacement of at least equal, but preferably better contemporary spec. So I'm looking for M980 XTR or M780 XT series 10-sp. bits, with a strong preference for a 3x...

    Date: 12-13/6/22 Hi burners, my beloved 2011 Anthem X Advanced SL, size Medium was nicked from my garage last night. I have a suspicion that it was my next-door neighbour but can't prove it...

    Mountain Bikes Direct Bike Of The Month - December (sorry I'm late!)

    Hey 'Burnerators, sorry I'm so late with this, but I got a bit knocked around recently, with little inclination for staying awake, and even less inclination to read anything or even think. Anyway, I'm on the mend now, so better late than never. Hope the holiday period treated you well and you...

    XC Ducky's Modern-Retro Carbolicious (or is it Carboniferous?) Anthem. Now with v2 Project

    OK, so as much as anything else, this post is about showing off the diversity of MTB amazingness that Bike Of The Month candidates may be drawn from.... :) One day in August 2014 a bloke wheeled this thing into the shop wanting an assessment of it 'cos he wanted to sell it in favour of...

    [Found] Bike For a Mate

    Greetings 'Burners, As the title suggests, I've been enlisted to help find a bike for a mate who's been copping a bit of a nibble from the MTB bug. Not looking for anything too nutso, hence the budget, but likewise not a complete dunger either, 'cos it is going to be ridden properly...

    New XT.

    Overnight Shimano released details of the new M8000 Deore XT groupset, to officially be launched later this year. Not surprisingly, a lot of inspiration has carried down from XTR, not the least in that it's gone 11-sp, and keeping the options of 1x, 2x & 3x cranks. An 11-42 cassette has been...

    Clutch Replacement.

    Hey 'Burners, The clutch in my venerable Subaru Outback is really close to shitting itself, so I need it replaced pretty damn quick. Any ideas roughly how much it should cost to get done?
