Stick some Reserve 30HD wheels with Industry 9 Hydras for $1700 on while you’re at it.

Haha trust me, I avoid washing my bike like the plague normally so sounds like I now have even more justification for that! Yeah in the past I've only ever degreased with the drivetrain removed (mainly out of concern about paint damage), but the directions for the Krush degreaser specifically...

I'm interested in hearing any others experience with bike-specific bike wash or degreasers and a reduction in frame bearing life? In the past I've used MucOff bike wash and myself and some riding mates felt like it was leading to some fairly short bearing life, so we ditched it. This is the...

Did you sort something Nathan? I have some old Marzocchi's that might fit the bill.

Hey mate, a few other thoughts to throw in the mix... The Scottsdale pool is excellent for kids - it was re-done two years back and now has a couple of water slides and a splash zone type thing, plus a couple of different sized pools. And it's free. Well worth a couple of hours with the kids...

Item: Looking for an aggressive steel hardtail (such as a Norco Torrent) Location: Hobart but open to shipping from interstate Item condition: Doesn’t need to be perfect by any stretc.h Price: You tell me, less than retail Extra Info: In terms of sizing, I’m just over 6’1 (187cm), so generally...

Has anyone seen/received any Pushys general discount codes in recent times (the ones you can apply to anything, not a specific brand/product)? Last one I can find that I got was 12+ months back, guess rising costs are eating into the bottom line....

I had a ACL reconstruction almost exactly 2yrs ago, following total rupture of it and near-total rupture of MCL after an I’ll-fated soccer comeback after many years (don’t ask me how many minutes I lasted in the first game, it was barely past single digits..). I did a shit tonne of research...

Funnily enough I’ve been lurking around Ali the last week and nearly pulled trigger on similar sets, but factor in shipping and GST (and no brakes as others have said, and that one actually has Deore cranks not XT) and it’s actually not much different to local. Then add unknown shipping time and...

Is it a bargain? Not sure, but at least it’s all in stock! https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/products/shimano-deore-xt-groupset?variant=41648226205741

I’ve got a good riding mate who said to me words to the effect (when discussing mental health benefits of riding bikes) that he rides his road bikes when he wants to concentrate on a problem to solve, and he rides his mtb when he wants to switch off from the world. It instantly clicked with me...

Hmmm thanks all. It’s a steel hardtail, frame only so I’m thinking it can get down reasonable small in terms of overall package size and weight…

Hi all, Anyone had recent experience shipping a frame only interstate and can share approx cost? Also what (aside I from the local collection aspect) is the advantage of a courier vs Auspost, as I understand the latter is cheaper? I assume it would be slower with AusPost, any other down side?

Has anyone actually had issues with Shimano stuff from Ali (as in non-genuine parts arriving)? Did a search of this thread and all seem to be positive experiences.. I’m looking for a new XT groupset (minus brakes) and nothing in stock locally (at least not without mix and matching from all over...

Yeah thanks, I saw them the other week and (sadly) determined it was much too good to be true....

Item full name and model etc.: Chasing a good (or new) condition Shimano 4-pot brake set. Would prefer XT but consider SLX or XTR. Location: Hobart but will consider post Price Range: You tell me. Currently out of stock around the traps but I'm not in a huge rush so I'm not going to pay new...

Haha. Like Stredda said in his earlier post the last few kms before you finally get back to Oonah Hill seem to be never ending, but none of that’s too steep, just spinning away thinking of the post rode beers (or spiced rums in our case). One of my mates was on an ebike - he was pretty...

Myself and a few mates (all Hobart locals) headed over west last week and took in all of Queenstown and Zeehan’s finest, including this absolutely epic backcountry ride. Can attest to it being a real leg zinger (particularly the last couple of k’s to the peak) but wow the descent off Galena Peak...

Wow this brings back memories!

Hey northvanguy was this based on verbal advice from AusSuper? Or is it in their documentation somehwere? And does it related specifically to racing or just mtb in general? I too have my insurance with them and (at least when I set it up a few years back) I was not aware of any exclusions for...
