MTB Baggies

Looking for new MTB shorts.Coming from old Fox rangers with built in liner that i have worn to death.

Any recommendations? what are people wearing and happy with?
They all look like board shorts to me, lots with no liner so do you wear normal roadie knicks under as a separate liner?
And whats the reason they all have belt loops? cannot see any point in that.
Not too keen on the Enduro way below the Knee length style either..

Cheers,

Just an enquiry,

Has anyone heard of a bike brand called "BH", and more specifically, if anyone has, what do they think of their bikes?

Cheers,

Helmet Question

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Howdy!

Another helmet question guys.

1. How to know if your helmet needs replacement after 2 to 3 years of using without hard impact or dent?
2. How to spot wear and tear on helmet?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Fox to Pike??

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Below is a preview, click to read the full post

My current trail bike is an Ibis Mojo HD 26. 160mm front and rear.

On the front is a Fox 34 talas 120-160, and most the time around Kalamunda I use the 120mm setting.
I've never been thrilled with the Fox, especially after replacing the rear with a cane creek, and after hearing good things about it, I've been thinking about putting a 160mm Pike on the front for a long time.

For the KC, what do you guys think about running 160mm the whole time (as the Pike isn't height adjustable)?

Hey,

I am new to the site, new to Perth in fact and have just decided to get back into some mountain biking after being out of it for a year or so. I have just put a Giant Talon 4 on lay away. Unfortunately these only come with some Santour XCT forks and I am hoping to get myself some new ones to put on when I pick up my bike in the next few weeks!

How and what do I need to remove bb71

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

After raceing at collie then cleaning my bike went to ride this morning to find the cranks very hard to turn over

After about 50 meters they were free again so I'm thinking mud or water has gotten in the bottom bracket

Bike is a Scott scale with a bb71

Wanting to learn and do myself what tools do I need to remove replace the bottom bracket and once out can you regrease or is it a through away item

Thanks

Time clipless pedals

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Anyone use these pedals because they have dodgy knees? I have one very dodgy knee and have been using spds and have been recently struggling a bit and am wondering if a set of these pedals might be a good investment. If so which model?
