    Why single speed for XC and trail riding - what am I missing?

    my understanding is that if you have vertical dropouts, and dont want to use a tensioner (you probably should) then you will have to experiment with "the magic gear", which is a combination of chain length, front chainring and rear sprocket, to keep the chain adequately tensioned...I haven't...

    Why single speed for XC and trail riding - what am I missing?

    There are a few posts around here about the 'vibe' of SS...I too was very skeptical (why would I want to work harder??!!) but I bought a cheap steel SS with cable brakes to travel with, as I was so sick of my dual suspension bike and the maintenance/things going wrong with it.... The best...

    The stupid questions thread.

    how do truck overheight warning systems work? On the Sydney Harbour tunnel entrance there is an elaborate system of signs and eventually a "water fountain stop sign" that is (I assume) automatically activated by a truck too high to enter the tunnel. If this is the case, how does this technology...

    a doctors degree is much more than $30 000!!! Just googled it though and sounds terrible, sorry to hear if you're suffering from it.

We shouldnt drink "saltwater" (which I assume you mean seawater) because the concentration of seawater in...

    Is Strava putting other MTB Riders and the general public at risk?

    the fact that this system is on the net and broadcast and attracts public fame/notoriety means a whole lot more peopler are going to be doing it...yes there are some people who have always done it, but this will attract a whole lot more people to it...people use to keep in touch with emails and...

    Is Strava putting other MTB Riders and the general public at risk?

    sorry mate, but you're a dickhead...what makes you think you can stop descending at 50km/h (?) to give way to a kid coming around the corner or a bushwalker coming the other way....trails outside races are not race tracks....i dont ride in the royal NP proper anymore as there are so many blind...
