If you like getting your bike knowledge nerd on, you might find this interesting:

Covers (in a wonderfully Aussie, no-bullshit approach) the causes of pedal kickback. More than just the usual discussion about anti-squat, but also some discussion about chain forces in a dynamic sense.

Daggy vid, but damn - these things will always impress me.

There's no talking and it has that really annoying background music so turn your volume down but this Slovakian guy has some awesome machining skills as he adds a piston compensator to the damper in a Suntour fork

Have a look at some of his other videos where he repairs a couple of dirtbike engine heads,

Yeah but the frame is a decade old.

Not sure what the fuck you could usefully learn from that...

I'm not sure any Australian business can afford to cut up a new s-works.

Geez, sorry If you have any interest in composite fabrication it would be slightly interesting even if a few years out of date.
