Shopping
That's not a bike shop. THIS is a bike shop.
Following on from Phil Beresford's thread about the Tour Divide, I saw this little piece about where Jay Petervary works.
Not sure how much of it is scripted marketing spin, but the passion and commitment to customer service just seems to ooze out of the staff that speak on the clip in a way that looks to be genuine.
Compare that to the customer service culture that we have to endure here in Australia and the contrast is noticeable.
Wiggle Australia
Just got my latest delivery in a week ( thanks to the posts about multi tools had to get one) the return adress is to Victoria and label says post paid Australia and the box says Wiggle.com.au - can someone in the know explain what they are doing - Assume they are warehousing local now?
The 1000$ bike thread
hi,
have been taking a mate for rides recently (on a borrowed Superlight 29er) and he loves it and wants to really get into riding. I promised to help him find a bike.
The only issue is that he's on a strict budget of a 1000$. He loves the superlight but you'd be struggling to find that with a decent kit under 3k.
I saw that giant are selling anthem 29ers with 2x10 x7/x9 for around 1900$ NEW which I thought was an awesome deal (although I'm not exactly a giant fan) but the budget is still a 1000.
Torpedo7 Camelbak Sale
A mate just brought my attention to a Camelbak sale on at Torpedo7 currently.
I just picked up a Camelbak Mule NV at 50% off - the price of a new bladder at local RRP. Add a FIRSTPURCH2012 coupon code I found and it was post free.

Oh No ! Need a New Hanger for the Fling
Well what do you know, had a bent hanger and tried last weekend at the LBS to get a replacement. They didnt get back to me and I didnt chase them.
And now I have busted it and need a replacement for the Fling.
I'll do the ring around Sydney shops in the morning but I do not have a good feeling. If anyone knows where I can get one please give me a yell.
It is for an Avanti Competitor 2012 29er. I have the Wheels Hanger #120 and it the same dimensions and looks right but not the correct shape to match the frame dropout.

Help to find Stans rimstrips urgent
JUst changing to Schwalbe RR/NN snakeskin Tubeless ready after using the old nonTL ones.
I use the standard stans rimstrips. I cannot get them to seat. They inflated, but even at 60psi , just wont pop out and seat.
Some quick checking shows the new TL tyres have a bigger bead, and may not seat with the standard rimstrip. The strop does fit very snuggly under the edge of the rim. Some suggested using the smaller Olympic rim strip.
BUT i need to buy tomorrow Friday in Sydney somewhere. Anyone know a LBS (north/city/east) that carries stans strips??

Quailty Mountain Bike Hire - Dually
Hi,
My brother is returning to Oz for 2 weeks after defecting 10 years ago to Ireland. He a a MTB club member there in Dublin and we would like to have a ride or two when he is here.
I was in Canada recently and hiring/demoing a $3-4k dually in Rocky Mountains is no sweat at all. Haven't found anywhere that does similar grade of bike here - anyone have any suggestions?
