That's really cheap, do they come back with the NSD sticker on them ? I don't usually get the standard service done by NSD but I ask them what the price difference is, for the extra $50 they use better seals and oil. I don't use Cyclinic often, I had a bit of a run in with the owner buying a non suspension related part.

 

[moorey]

Yep. And the bag of replaced parts.

For an extra $50 I hope they gift wrap it.

Has anyone else in NSW signed up for the loose fill asbestos inspection etc?

My asbestos is now all over the lounge room floor.

Nah you are ok - just crappy gyprock.

If I pull the can back on my Fox X2 to change volume spacers, am I going to need any oil/grease to replace anything that might potentially be lost?

Give it the sniff test...

I put an investment property on the check list, as it is the right age and location etc. The possible outcomes are all a bit challenging.

Any one know anything about these, a bloke looking at buying a frame off me wants to whack one off these on a frame with a normal bb, will it work. It looks like it has bearings inbuilt.
Don't hate me, I didn't encourage him. Just don't want to sell him something that won't work

If only our local e-motor enthusiast was still on here...

Oh man that reminds me. Saw more than a few e-bikes over at Harcourt last weekend. No one riding them looked disabled to me. One guy came over and asked if it were possible to ride up the fireroad to get to the trail 2 descent without going up the proper climb because it was "too hard". Dude, if you can't do the climb I don't know how you're going to ride a jump line down the bloody hill.

/Rant over

 

[pink poodle]

He isn't going to rode a jump line. He is going to coast over it and round off the lips. He probably does skids in corners as well.

 

[safreek]

And mad skids you recon, or just soft ebike skids

 

[safreek]

But I did find the said ebike kit on eBay, seems it will work for him.
I guess he won't be offroading with that motor hanging on it
Now awaiting kit for the astrix, more on that in the astrix post your ride thread, not

Which would you choose out if these 2 chainrings, would they hold a chain as well as these snaggletooth rings that cost 2.5x as much cash

Neither seem to be narrow wide.

So narrow wide is essential for clutched none guided chain?

I would recommend it but I guess it depends on the type of riding and trails.

 

[Ultra Lord]

Clutched with normal teefs>non-clutched with narrow wide

If that makes sense.

I’d take the Zee. It’ll be better than no-clutched and ramped teef (you are runnin ramped cogs atm aren’t you?
