Just finished building my new DH bike up.

Intense M9
BOS Idyel Rare Forks
Fox RC4 Shock
Deity Stem
Deity Black label bars
Elixir CR brakes
XO drivetrain
Chirs King hubs
Chris King BB
Alex supra D rims
Race Face Atlus cranks
Shamino DX pedals
Thompson seat post
SDG Ti Fly seat
E13 Lg1 Chain Guide
E13 35 Tooth chain ring

I just finished building it and havent taken it for a ride yet. I will see how the RC4 shock goes as I had a BOS shock on the old M6 and its a tough act to follow.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to build my own dual-suspension MTB, and was wondering if anyone had a handy link to a guide?
One major concern that I've got is that I'll forget some small (but critical) component, and when I actually sit down to build it I'll then have to wait for another part to arrive! I've never done something like this before, and it's a bit of a project for fun ... as well as being able to build my dream bike.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has tried the following bike repair stands.

Any comments on which is better?

Thanks

Hi peeps

Firstly, are all rear brake converters the same
As in will a 160mm Shimano brake converter fit an avid brake set up?

Anyhoo, I need an Avid compatible 160mm rear brake converter
Is anyone able to help me out
We're talking to buy of course

We have begun planning for the 2011 Back Yamma Bigfoot. A few improvements and changes are planned, so this will be a great race.

The 2011 event will be held on the 4th September. http://www.backyammabigfoot.com.au/

What is the Back Yamma Bigfoot?

CCOMTB will be holding a Downhill social ride day on Sunday 13 February at Ourimbah.

This will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to have a go at downhill, but who isn't sure if they want to race. For more experienced riders it's a good training day to limber up for the season, and to show off that new race kit that Santa brought you.

Has this been raised before on NOBMOB? I searched but couldn't find a 29 vs 26 topic - so apologies if its been done. Does anyone own a 26er and gone to a 29er and can give an opinion of the pros and cons. I have scoured the web to get a definitive opinion on which is better but found "it depends". I thought (just like 3d tv) 29ers would come and go but every mag is full of them so should you join the 29ers?

Has anyone ridden the dam in the last day? Thinking of an early lap - is it too wet ????

Hi my name is Trevor and I'll be heading down your way on Thursday and have 3 days up my sleeve for riding and was wondering where the best places to ride will be. It will be the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Trevor.

That's the question do I need a new one? Had my front tyre wash out on me at the very end of my 2nd lap round the Dam on Saturday. Took a chip out of inner part at the front (possibly whats still in my forehead). I'm guessing technically the answer is yes?

If so, any good recommendations, I tend to use one helmet for both road and mtb so it has to suit both looks

Hi parts gurus...

I am planning to replace/upgrade the Bottom Bracket for my 2007 Specialized Enduro Pro Carbon. This is the first ever change to the BB, so I was wondering if the Hope Bottom Bracket MTB - Ceramic with 68/73mm shell fits this Carbon frame? The measured width of my frame is ~ 73 mm. Current BB is Shimano stock.

I was planning to get it from CRC http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=...

Thank you in advance.
