General Gear (stuff for any rider)
Online MTB Information / Magazine sources
All
Some great links and online sources and articles of MTB specific stuff have been posted up here in recent times .
I though I would start this post, to see if we could put our heads together and compile a list of some of the great free (or cheap) information sources that are out there that some of us may or may not be aware of.
For the regular stuff we can add links to this site so we have a one stop shop for some great information.
Some stuff that I have come across:
Bike Magazine on Zinio - 9 issues for A$6
Question - Chain length
Quick general question, if I change my crank say from a 44 - 30 to a 40 - 28, do I need to change the chain length?
Thanks for any advice.
Which cassette?
Have a Yeti 575
Rear cassette has just given out with teeth shearing off etc etc. This is my first cassette replacement.
What matters when purchasing a new one? where's the best place to source?
Things I think I know already
Good to replace both cassette and chain at same time
doesn't matter if I have SRAM derailleur/shimano cassette
high-end stuff may wear quicker

Does anyone have any experience with this or how it compares to the more expensive and popular Cycleops Fluid 2?
Thanks

can a rusty chain be brought back?
hey,
say you cleaned your bike one day including taking off the chain and you left the good quality (middle tier shimano) chain outside on the patio and forgot about it and due to all the bad weather keeping you off the bike you only stumbled across it about 3 weeks later to find it all rusty...can the chain be brought back to life somehow?
obviously i would never be this careless, it's just my mate said this is what happened...
my mate would appreciate any constructive feedback thanks,
Dirt Works Tyre choice
Any suggestions for tyre choice for DW, at the moment my steed is wearing Racing Ralph's and I've been more then happy with them, but with this weather and not having ridden DW before I'm beginning to wonder if I should be considering a more intermediate? Any thoughts or experience with the loop and conditions would be great.
cheers

Seat mounted hydration system
I can't decide if this is a good idea or not.

I like that the weight is off your back, but it seems a little too high & would affect balance - especially if its half-full (or half-empty) & the water is sloshing from side to side through tight turns.
