    What compressor????

    Hi all, as some might know I've just painted a bike. It was done with high quality spray cans. It came up pretty good but given all the time currently on my hands with nowhere to go I want to do another one to get it right and this time I'm buying a spray gun. To run it I need a compressor...

    2020 COVID delayed Commencal Clash.

    So I started this build this time last year in preparation for Bare Creek to open. This thing was delayed almost as long as the park.

    Thanks @Minlak

    Headset outer-diameter not matching the head tube diameter.

    Has anyone ever encountered this? If so how did you fix it? This is the correct headset for the bike. It's going to shit me, the top of the head-tube is bare aluminium so it sticks out like dogs balls. Cheers Scott.

    Avalanche Hybrid Coil Upgrade

    Hi all, so I've just ordered this for my Fox 40's. Super keen to see how it goes. It's about 4 weeks away but I'll let you all know what it's like when it's done. The idea is you can drop the pressure in the air side to match the support of the damper side. That way there is no lateral...

    Product Review Bondic "liquid plastic"

    Hi all I've just found a product that I think is pretty much perfect for repairing small chips etc on bikes. It's called Bondic and it's pretty damn impressive.

    Taree, get on it!!!

    Hi guys my mates and I spent a couple of days riding Kiwarrack Forest near Taree. The crew up there have really done a great job and there is a heap of stuff to ride.
