    Number plates on bikeracks. Why do people make their own?

    I've heard rumours of the AFP doing carpark inspections at Stromlo but not sure if they were actually booking people or just warning them.

    Number plates on bikeracks. Why do people make their own?

    Living in Canberra I‘ve noticed a considerable amount of home made number plates attached to bike trailers. What is the reason behind this as surely when forking out hundreds or more on a bike trailer one can afford the additional $50 for a number plate? Not sure if the police actually enforce...

    Putting new bike in storage for 3 years?

    Thanks all. It’s more a case of me having very limited time to use the bike as apposed to not being able to take it. If I was going to Antarctica I’d just get snow tires ;). I think I’ll just cancel and keep my current bike and take that, then when we return I can upgrade.

    Putting new bike in storage for 3 years?

    Hi all, I ended up pulling the pin on a Giant Trance X Advance Pro 2 for $3,999 and am due to collect it this week. Lo and behold a Parktool spanner has been thrown into the works where on opportunity to go away for work for a few years has come up. I’ve spoken to the bike shop who have been...

    All my Aliexpress MTB purchases reviewed.

    cheers, does it have a backing that it’s stuck to to make it easier to cut into shapes or is it just like sticky tape where it’s rolled onto itself around the roll?

    I sent Canyon an email to check if their sale will still be running when the Neuron 7 will be back in stock for my size and received the below response which is a little odd. Please be informed that we do not have information on when the on going sales will be ended. Kindly subscribe to our...

    New bike time

    I've not looked at Specialized as they tend to be a bit pricey but those prices are enticing. The Comp is out of stock in my size but the Evo comp isn't so I might go have a look at one. Does anyone happen to ride the EVO and if so how does it climb? My old man joints like the idea of the extra...

    Flats vs Clipless (not your usual)

    I prefer flats but will switch to clips if I'm doing a longer ride as I like the ability to pull up when on the pedals. I've had 2 big crashes and both were clipped in where I've landed nose heavy off a jump. Not sure why but when I jump (I don't jump big) I seem to pull up with my feet when I'm...

    Replacing brake lever

    Thanks gents, not sure how I missed that on bikebug as I checked them out. Moorey, thanks for the generous offer but I grabbed the one above as I needed a few other things and as always I’m a sucker for getting my shopping cart up for free shipping.

    Replacing brake lever

    Hi all, I’ve managed to submerge my left brake lever in mud and now it seems the cylinder is stuffed as the lever no longer comes back out. my brakes are the Shimano BL-MT500s so nothing fancy but until now they have been problem free for 3 years so don’t have any desire to upgrade them. problem...

    Product Review New Cleanskin MTB range!

    I’ve got pretty poor night vision so I don’t think the unite 1000 would cut it for me. The duo 2200 seems the better option as it’s not priced too much more and comes with an external battery pack which has a very handy padded Velcro pouch.

    Rotorburn strava

    Sorry I probably didn’t word that too well. I meant it along the lines that If your mates don’t have premium they can’t access theirs and their followers segment times so they won’t be that interested in competing with you. Most of the fun with segments is how you rank against those you are...
