Pivot versus Yeti
I cant go riding due to rain, so I am considering next bike purchase. I like the look of Pivot Mach 5 or Yeti 575. Now just pretending I had $7k in my pocket. What do people think between these 2 or are there other options I should be looking at. Probably XT build is sufficient.
Drivetrain
Hi being fairly new to MTB (bought my bike 15 weeks ago) i am wondering about how long things like chains,casettes, frount sprokets ect. should last? I don't ride in the mud, keep my bike cleanish, and lube the chain every 20-30 km's . Are there any other areas I should pay special attention to?
thanks

hatch back bike racks
I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch on which I would like to use a rear tailgate mounted bike rack (don’t want to do the tow bar option and prefer to steer away from the cost of a roof set up).
The main problem is the silly little spoiler at the top of the door. There are no racks yet designed to properly accommodate this however I have seen a couple of similar situations (Golf, Subaru) where a rack has the straps running over the spoiler.
HELP BREAKING CHAINS!!!
Help!!
I have broken 2 chains in 2 weeks, both shimano Narrow, both brand new (second one 5kms old)
they have both broken on the manufactured links (not the joining linkage when installing the chain)
i have no idea what to do, as i don't want to buy a new one and have the same thing happen?
any ideas????
Thanks

Oaks Trail Status?
Got a ride down The Oaks booked with a few mates for Sunday. Does anyone have an update on the state of the trail with all the rain the last few days?
Rain's supposed to clear substantially overnight Saturday evening, but I read just a few minutes ago there has been land slippage interrupting Blue Mountains train services, including one at Woodford. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/02/04/28...
This'll be my first time on Oaks - but I'd rather it not be on a wet slippy trail. Any current information would be welcome.
