    VIC Lysterfield Park

    Is there a Demo Day at Lysty this weekend (16-17 Feb)? Or later in Feb? I used to get Demo day info from the LDTR calendar. Right now they are showing nothing for the rest of the month, but I heard Spesh might be doing something.

    ESI grips

    Medium hand here (although some of my gloves are Large, depending on brand/model). I use Chunky ESIs and they fit well. I think they're basically close to the "average" size of the mtb grips so it's the best place to start.

    New bike, steerer too short.

    Agree with you, except I would not have even left the shop if the steerer was cut like that. Normally they leave 30-35mm spare (max recommended by the likes of Fox for safety reasons - any longer and you have too much leverage on the steerer creating undue stress on the fork and the headset...

    Lake Mountain Ride Day

    Does anyone know if their trailers use crank holders, or another mounting system? So I know if I should organise some kind of a prophylactic for my carbon crank arm...

    KS Lev Restore

    Degrease the shaft with isopropyl alcohol. Put a glove on (from my experience the generic yellow latex supermarket ones work best, they are soft and sticky), heat up the actuator assembly with a heat gun to soften the loctite (heat it up good) then quickly clamp it in something stationary (vice...

    XX1 cassette options

    I was going to suggest mtbdirect - got it from them for tree fiddy maybe a year ago, same price as zee germans. But I've just had a look first to check and nearly had a heart attack: https://www.mountainbikesdirect.com.au/sram-xx1-xg-1199-x-glide-10-42-11-speed-cassette - is this an example of...

    Snakes

    God damn it!!! My worst fear realised! Was going to go to You Yangs on Sat, but literally thought to myself "better not, too warm, Bruce will be out and about", so I went to Lysterfield instead. Thought I was being paranoid... Had two encounters with him last year which pretty much stopped me...

    Dropper Post offset

    Check where your saddle rails are currently clamped, maybe there's room to slide it back a couple of cm on a non offset post

    Buxton and Lake Mountain Thread

    How's the Lake Mtn Granite Grind and the new downhill to the bottom of Lake Mtn Rd after the recent winds? Safe to ride this weekend?

    Hi Jim, did you end up installing the monarch+ debonair on your TRc? What's the verdict? What did SC have to say?

    How to get best price on a new car?

    Not an expert, only did it once, a few years back. So this is more of an anecdote than advice. Found a guy at work who wanted the same car. We both went to the Toyota dealer on the last day of their annual sale, 30mins before closing time and started sending the sales guy to his manager to...

    Flat faced sockets for fork service with pictures

    I made one of these in a $49 drill press with a piece of sand paper. Just buy a cheap socket that has reasonably thin walls to begin with. Or have a look at these... ($$$) http://www.abbeybiketools.com/collections/tools/products/suspension-top-cap-sockets

    Open plan offices, a real eye opener

    Good noise cancelling headphones. I have 2 pairs so I'm never caught without them. And those 4hr long brain music vids on youtube.

    Ks Lev Integra fail

    Are you saying they rebuilt the cartridge? My understanding from reading various reports of ppl dealing with KS in the US was that KS do not support cartridge rebuilds by dealers. They just swap the whole cartridge under warranty.
