Hayes 9
Hi all,
I currently have mechanical disc brakes (I think on 5inch rotors?) and I am looking to upgrade to hydraulic but not being particularly fast or skillful, I don't want to spend a packet.
I've seen Hayes 9's for $224 delivered and they come with rotors (Front and rear) - either two 6inch ones or an 8inch and a 6 inch.

Ignitor tyres order confusion.....
Hi all. I'm after your opinions please....
I just recently ordered four Maxxis Ignitor 26x2.1 62a tyres from Wiggle, and when I received them i found one of them is the UST tubeless version. I do not run tubeless, know very little about them, and so I'm not sure if I should use it or not. Now as far as I can tell there is no difference besides the rubber being slightly thicker on the tubeless, so I'm wondering if I should just keep and use it as a normal tyre, or if I should be contacting wiggle and organising a return. Any suggestions on which route to take?
Thanks,
Col.
Bike hire around Sydney
Hi There,
I'm seriously considering a dual suspension bike, possibly a trance depending on the budget allocated by my minister of finance. I would really like to try a bike out for a weekend so I am curious if anyone knows of any bike shops that do this kind of thing?

Reign 1 - Wheelset upgrade
Hi Guys,
I have an 09 Reign 1 and I'm looking for a really good wheelset as an upgrade. What are people running and recommend?
I've had a problem with normal tyres on UST rims not seating well although they work great with tubeless tyres
Thanks
Adjustable Seatposts
Had anybody got/know about on-the-fly adjustable seatposts.
There seem to be quite a few options out there.
so far i have found:
Crank Bros Joplin
RASE http://www.rasebike.com/
Fezzari Drop In
Gravity Dropper
Specialized Command
I have 1 big restriction: I have a Kona, which for some reason has a 30.0mm seatpost.
I don't mind using shims, but i obviously can't go any bigger.
any opinions welcome (expect for telling me that regular seatposts are height adjustable as well - i already know that)
2010 Giant Catalog
The complete Giant catalogue for 2010 is online here http://www.giant-bicycles.com.au/emag.html . I has got all the specs for all of the bikes but not the prices.
They haven't got rid of the reign as many people thought they would.
