Monarch R Rear Shock
Just bought myself a 2012 Giant Anthem X3.....my first dual-sus bike. Rides really well and soaks up the bumps nicely but just wondered where I can get air pressure settings? The front forks have a sticker on stating my weight & recommended air pressure but I cannot find any info on what to set the rear to - can anyone help me out please?

Jamis Dakar XAM to relpace SX Trail
Has anyone had any experience with these frames? I can't seem to find much information about them, which leads me to believe they are probably not that good.
This is the frame in questions : http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/fullsuspe...
I'm thinking of replacing my 2006 SX Trail frame with a 2009 Dakar XAM frame which looks to be a little more all mountain capable than the SX Trail which is more freeride/park oriented. The Dakar frame and shock is almost 2Kg lighter than the SXT frame, but loses 20mm in travel (150mm vs 170mm).
Workstand
Hi guys,
Getting old and taller… I can't bend anymore like I use to.
Thought about buying a workstand.
I got the choice of a $169 on Torpedo7: http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/T7WKWNN60/ti...
or a ~$50-70 on eBay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150664989285?ssPageNa...
Do you think the stand on eBay is a piece of sh*t, that will be good to use only 2-3 times?
Motobecane 29er
Does anyone have any views on Motobecane Titanium frames - looks like really good value.
Chain sound
For starters I am using rock and roll gold lube. After lubing I usually get about 10k through a ride with no noise then after that I begin to get that sort of unoiled sound. Following instructions on label and tried adding more and less but still get the same problem. Suggestions.
XO / X9, what mechanical difference is there?
Ok,
I am thinking of changing from X9 to XO shifters, i know there is a weight difference, i couldn't care less about that, what i want to know is, what mechanical difference is there between the two?..if they are mechanically the same or different, and what performance gain is there over the X9?
