Hi I'm looking at a new pair of shoes.
Has anyone had any experience with the Shimano SH-M300S carbon sole shoes...?
What is your current hot recommendation for your lower digit motion pods?
Recon Pop loc dilemma ???
Have taken up a bit of bike mechanics with varying success. Recently ordered a pop loc conversion kit to fit to my 120mm Recon shocks on a 2009 Scott Spark. Pulled the compression damper out and the one in the kit is shorter than the one originally installed in the shocks. I have been advised this is the correct kit but it is definetly a different length. Is there a spacer or modification I would need to do to the remote lock out damper?
BB'S
Hi Guys just wondering if there is any problems with replacing a 110mm bb with a 113bb beside having to adjust front derailer are there any long term problems.
thanks in advance
Is there a 3 seater bongovan?
I was thinking of getting a second hand bongo van or similar vehicle for the MTB trips and surfing etc, since the family car seems to be filling up with child seats.
Thought a courier style van would be a good option because you can carry the bikes internally.
Anyway, I usually ride with two other mates, so I'd be looking for something that seats 3. Most of the vans I see like the Hiace, Mitsubishi Express etc seem to seat two.
How much suspension do you need at the Dam?
My bike is now in the shop for a warranty claim for a cracked frame. I had a QUICK look around for alternatives if things go bad with my claim and came across the Giant Anthem but it has only a 100mm of suspension against my current bikes 140mm. If I was to replace my bike I would like to go lighter but don't want to spend a bomb. Toying with the idea to buy the base model Anthem 3 and then add all my XTR goodies & wheels to take prob a kilo out of the bike and get it to 11.7kgs from my current 12.7 kgs of my Norco and the 12.6 kgs for the Anthem 3.
Advice re warranty for cracked frame
Thanks to my recent xmas pressie of a ALDI bike stand I just noticed what appears to be a hairline crack on a weld on the rear triangle next to the cranks.
Silly Question - Bike Hooks
I got some ceiling bike hooks/claws for Xmas, and I have been hanging the bike up on two of them by the wheel rims up side down. I am wondering if hanging the bike up side down by the wheels may put the rims out of shape by stretching out spokes. Anyone else use these ceiling claws and hang their bikes by the wheels? anyone heard anything bad by using them?
Lefty Air Filter Oil
The lefty fork has an air filter in it and after cleaning the filter you are mean to oil it. Can anyone recommend an oil?
Cheers

Bike Computer/GPS
Just looking to get trip computer/GPS - have come across the Garmin range. Want to be able to record trip data & download trail maps etc.
Does anyone have any recommendations for which models to get or other products they think are good?
Anyone got a contact at Giant?
Does anyone have a contact at Giant Bikes? I have a warranty issue with my 2010 TranceX1 and my local dealer says it's very unlikely Giant will look at it before Christmas. I was planning a lot of riding over the Christmas break... my bike is unrideable and I'm devastated! Being a long-term loyal customer I thought I'd try contacting Giant myself and pleading with them to fast track my warranty claim. So any contacts would be greatly appreciated!
