Shout out to "Mountain Bike Suspension Centre"

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I took my DT forks and fox RP23 to Simon @ Mountain Bike Suspension Centre.
http://www.mtbsuspension.com.au/
What a fantastic service experience.
Simon is friendly and professional.
only took 2 days to turn around - ensuring I had my suspension back for the weekend.

He took photos of the filthy oil that came out of my shocks and kept the buggered seals to show me when I came to pick them up.

went for a ride this weekend and it was like riding a new bike. the suspension is smooth and plush again.

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if YT bikes prices in $AUD on there website include import/sales taxes?
Also, are YT bikes as good as all the reviews say they are?

Fox Fit RLC or SID RCT3 100mm forks for a 29er

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a 2nd hand fork, so that I can offload my current one (REBA RL) to my hardtail built.
I'm tossing up between the 2 forks, SIDs are more expensive but lighter. Fox is cheaper, heavier though but better internals according to my mechanic mate.

Anyone have experience with either forks and can share their preference ?

Cheers,
Mario

Bike build advise

Trying to sell my bike at the moment which isn't that old and looking as an option to just buy a frame and use most of the parts that are on it onto the new one and hopefully sell the existing one cheaply.
Just wondering the pitfalls of doing this and is it worth it in the long run as Im looking at saving a few grand and not having to wait to sell my bike which is painful considering it's a steal price and put some great upgrades and is all working great.
Any experiences and some price indications of bike strip downs and rebuilds would be great.

Bottom Bracket

I've managed for the 23rd time to order something online that's 80% the right specifications but not 100% I bought a SRAM X0 1*11 crankset but it's for a BB30 bottom bracket. If I get a BB30 bottom bracket will this fit in the standard bottom bracket hole on the bike or are both the inside and outside widths different. I don't yet have a bottom bracket as I'm building a new bike so wondering whether I have to return the crankset or whether I could get a BB30 for the bike. Thanks in advance. Wow I have almost a shop of bike parts 80% correct now.I wish there was just choice A, B, or C.

Trail Helmet advice

Hi Guys,

Looking for advice on purchasing a new helmet. Most rides around the dam and Bantry Bay trails.
Narrowed the search down to these three brands:
Bell Super 2
Giro Feature
IXS Trail RS

Does anyone have or tried out the mentioned helmets and can recommend?

I have read each have lots of pros but these are their cons:

Bell - heavy
Giro - can be hot
IXS - Peak too long
