Bearings on the north side?
So I've got the day off due to rain and I've taken the bearings out of my lefty front hub for replacement.
I've gone to the usual Lager Bearings in Artamon and they've relocated to Thornleigh. Another bearing shop on the same street have relocated to Silverwater!
Anyone know of any others that are around the North shore?

Shimano wide shoe stockist?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a new set of shoes and would like to get some Shimano SH-M088E to try on.
I've been to Cell bikes but they only stock the normal narrow fit.
Does anybody know a shop in Sydney that stocks a good range of the Shimano shoes in Wide?
Alternatively can anyone suggest a similarly priced/quality shoe in a wider fit of any brand?
Cheers...

Demoing a Specialized Epic
I'm trying to choose between an Anthem 29er and a Specialized Epic Comp 29er.. I won't ask the question of which I should go with since the internet is full of answers to that question.. But I've had the chance to demo an Anthem and am wondering if anyone knows of a bike shop that has an Epic that I could demo.
Thanks!

SOLA sport - Fox distributor - thank you
Just a quick thank you to SOLA sport, distributors of Fox (amongst other things)
After an online rant about my creaky forks, I was contacted by Gavin from SOLA sport
He apologised for the problem and offered to fix the forks at no cost
I sent them to SOLA, and in less than 1 week turnaround I have received what is essentially new forks!
Upgraded to kashima coated with a new talas cartridge and no creak
They have cleaned them up and look absolutely sensational
The only thing that stopped me falling over when I took them out of the box was the danger of scratching them
