Magura brake issue
Can anybody suggest how to fix Magura mt6 brakes when the pistons (and pads) do not move sufficiently to engage the rotor? When depressing the lever the pads move inward a normal distance but on release the pads simply return to their original position. No leaks are evident. Thanks
Help needed for first bike purchase...
Ok help needed total newb to modern mountain bikes and looking for something to fit my situation. I am looking for a bike to mostly ride with family while camping, ride locally on the streets a little and some trail riding when away with the boys.
In my sights I am thinking a hardtail for better value as I am not really wanting to invest to heavily, however not prepared to skimp and not get something that is practical and suits my needs, use and ability. I am thinking around the 1200-1700 AUD mark to get a descent hardtail for my use.
shoe pedal combo for enduro
looking for advice on a shoe pedal combo for endure riding.At the moment I'm using a shimano xc shoe with xt race pedals as this is whats on my hard tail for xc racing i also fitted these same pedals to my fun/enduro bike a 2015 giant trance advanced 0
I find this combo fine for all the riding i have done so far up until we road at golden grove .It was almost impossible to re clip after unclipping to get round the tight steep corners .Flats and some 510s would defiantly have been the go.
Need assistance regarding wheels/hubs
I am currently looking at buying a new set of wheels. Specifically a set of DTSwiss XR 1501 Spline One wheels (http://www.dtswiss.com/Wheels/MTB-Wheels/XR-1501...). My bike currently uses standard QR skewers/hubs front and rear. The dt Swiss wheels say that they include 5/100mm end caps on both front and rear wheels, but the rear hub is setup as 12x142. Will these end caps included with the rear wheel convert it from 12x142 to 135QR?
Exercise bike or Spin bike
I'm looking to buy something to train on when its wet. Exercise bike or spin bike or something else I don't really know what would be best. I'm doing cross country races and would like to get fit. Please help.
What Kit for Winter Riding the Thredbo Valley Trail?
Considering we are in an El Nino and the snow forecast looks less than hopeful for a decent ski season, I was considering taking my bike down to the Thredbo with me in a months time. I'm booked in and cannot cancel.
I contacted Thredbo directly to ask if the Thredbo Valley Trail will be open for riding though winter and, somewhat to my surpise, it is.
Rear shock play...?
Hoping someone can enlighten me a little. So I've been riding a lot more of late, but I generally look after the bike (cleaning) well. Use the spray to help get dirt out of suspension seals etc. When washing the bike over the weekend, lifted it by the seat to swing the rear around and heard a knock. Have since isolated the sound to the rear shock. Seems to be some 'lateral' play in it. It's an FSR arrangement. Checked the bolts - none loose. Is the seal stuffed?
Any hints or tips, much appreciated.

Kind Shock dropperpost service tops
A BIG thanks to Allan of Pushie Enterprises in Sydney for breathing new life into my battered old Kindshock Lev dropperpost.
At just 1 hours notice, the post was serviced and worn parts replaced on the spot for a very modest amount.
Hopefully it will quietly endure another 3 years of abuse!.
The best dropper post on the market and great backup service. Recommended.
