Guide to building my own MTB?
Hi guys,
I'm planning to build my own dual-suspension MTB, and was wondering if anyone had a handy link to a guide?
One major concern that I've got is that I'll forget some small (but critical) component, and when I actually sit down to build it I'll then have to wait for another part to arrive! I've never done something like this before, and it's a bit of a project for fun ... as well as being able to build my dream bike.
Trials Bike
Hey Guys
Just thought I would post up a pic of the bike I just ordered. I will have to organise some regular street rides with people when it arrives. I can't wait!
It's an Echo 24 inch trials bike. Full Echo spec. Cost me $1200 but I have to build it myself, well I don't but I chose to cause that way is more fun.

Hi peeps

As in will a 160mm Shimano brake converter fit an avid brake set up?
Anyhoo, I need an Avid compatible 160mm rear brake converter
Is anyone able to help me out
We're talking to buy of course
rear derailleur cable issue
I had a cable problem recently that left me with only a few gears. Its been suggested I could have used cable ties to fix the derailleur on the 34 cog. Is this possible and how would I do it? (yes i was born without the macgyver gene)
Its an xtr setup on a specialised epic.
Tubeless conversion
Considering converting to tubeless, but have a few questions.
I dont think my rims are tubeless rims, dose it matter? And what kinda pressures can i expect to run?
Thanks for the help.

29er vs 26er what's the verdict
Has this been raised before on NOBMOB? I searched but couldn't find a 29 vs 26 topic - so apologies if its been done. Does anyone own a 26er and gone to a 29er and can give an opinion of the pros and cons. I have scoured the web to get a definitive opinion on which is better but found "it depends". I thought (just like 3d tv) 29ers would come and go but every mag is full of them so should you join the 29ers?
My new Rig
G'Day all.

and/or have any experience with the store?

New Helmet?
That's the question do I need a new one? Had my front tyre wash out on me at the very end of my 2nd lap round the Dam on Saturday. Took a chip out of inner part at the front (possibly whats still in my forehead). I'm guessing technically the answer is yes?
If so, any good recommendations, I tend to use one helmet for both road and mtb so it has to suit both looks
