Tyres
I have 2 - 24*2.40 Big Betty Schwalbe brand new tires available to anyone who has a bike that would fit them
I bought them from an overseas mail order and had a brain explosion when clicking on 24 rather than 26. They are going to go out in next weeks organic rubbish collection but if anyone wants them give me a call
Don on 0405 801 578.

I have a Santa Cruz Tall Boy and was wondering if anyone could make one of these plates to protect the lower links

SQUEEKY sid xx
hi
have sid xx front forks and they make a squeeky noise when compressing.sounds like the top legs are dry against the lower leg seals.the shock is new and didnt squeek for the first 2 rides then slowly starts once the suspension works for a short period or as they get warm.
was thinking of lubing the top legs with a silicon spray but thought get some views first.
Storing my bike by hanging from a hook - is it OK?
Folks,
I'm looking for some advice on bike storage. I've moved into a new house, with a good sized shed. The shed has roof beams exposed, so I've suspended my dualie by a hook attached to one of the beams. The hook loops under the rear wheel - ie the rear wheel takes all the weight (roughly 13kg)
Let me know if I'm a genius, or am committing a mortal sin...
Thanks.
Giant vs BMC?
Guys, I’d like to pose a quick question to the many knowledgeable riders who visit this forum, about choosing a first hardtail…
I’m keen to get back into mountain biking and am looking to pick up a bike within a couple of weeks. I spent my childhood ripping up the dirt in the acres of harsh bushland behind my house, but my last 7 years have been spent on the road (2004 Orbea Gavia) so I've got a bit to re-learn.
my bike
Hey guys and girls
just throwing a question out there i need to know if my bike is any good. it is a jamis x3 trail. so any feedback would be great about this thanks guys

Layback seat posts
I have a hard tail Giant XTC1 2010 medium, being 5 11" and 80Kgs I am at its hight max
I'm more than comfortable on the bike but ride with the seat adjusted as far back on the original post as it will go. often if i come down hard on the seat it will tilt back, which is not helpfull .
Question would a new seat post like a layback seat post help ? I.E Thomson Elite 16mm set back or simmilar.
Yes i could go a slightly larger frame however i'd like to give this bike another year yet befor upgrading

Mountain Bike Australia Mag
I've just noticed that 'Mountain Bike Australia' Magazine is now available for digital download on 'Zinio.' I have been quite happy using Zinio for the last few months - particularly a subscription to 'Surfer' & 'Bike' for $9 each.
Bargain.
This is not meant to be a promo! Just letting you all know. The American publication of 'Bike' at $9 for 9 issues is a bargain. (If a few of you are cunning enough, you could share a username/password and share subscriptions across multiple computers/tablets)
