    Canberra this Weekend?

    Morning all. In a case of appalling timing we're currently bound for Canberra for 3 days of riding.....Steinlo is closed, is it worth checking anywhere out given the current conditions or just heading straight to the brewery?! Cheers. Sent from my SM-S901E using Tapatalk

    How to New Bike Setup Advice

    Evening all. I've just gone from a 2013 Giant Trance X 29er 0 to a Specialized Stumpjumper Expert Carbon and they're obviously two very different animals. Whilst they share many similar dimensions, they have just as many differences; slightly longer wheelbase but shorter chainstays on the...
