bike service
Hope this is the right forum for this.
I've had two services from a bike shop on the Northern beaches - both of which have been terrible (same shop, I thought the first bad one may just have been a one off). Can anyone recommend a good service shop on the Northern Beaches that do a thorough job - I am not a mechanic and expect the service person to be able to tell me if I need something replaced.
Last place didn't check the rear pads - found out half way through one of the manic down hill bits on the Dirt works 100!!
Cheers

check your backpack!
in frustration of not being able to find a set of magura brake pads for the enduro, i decided to have a good clean out of all the pockets of my camelback. the one in question is a mule so it has a fair few pockets and compartments within the pockets. within two minutes i'd emptied various zip lock bags and pulled out many sticky gu and powerbar wrappers. low and behold i had a massive amount of folded bank notes and about half a kilo of gold and silver coins. the total....$111.90 BINGO!!! enough to buy a couple of sets of pads and enough change for some refreshing alcoholic beverages!
Delicious - One for you mate (or any other knowledgable nobmobbers)
I have XTR M970 cranks and need to replace the inner and middle chainring. XTR is too expensive, and I wanted to know what other chainrings I can fit.
Front Fork - Leaking a bit - Do I need to service it?
After I ride, the right leg of my fork has a bit of black oil on the section above the rubber seal, while the left fork leg is fine. I have had the bike 18 months and never serviced the forks. Do I need a service or is fine to continue riding with. I don't particularly want to spend $100 on new seals and fork service, but if it needs to be done then so be it. Don't want to cause any long term damage.
commencal meta 5
im looking at getting a commencal meta 5, no stores seem to keep them in stock. Does anyone have one i can throw a leg over?
Also anyone got anything good or bad to say about them?
Compression Garmets
Hi Everyone,
So we have all heard the hype about compression garmets but are they actually worth it? I'd like to know! as im thinking of investing in one.
So here is my breakdown...
I commute 10 times a week for 15kms about 35mins, singlespeed and I HATE being overtaken! So its fairly punishing (for me) when going up the hilles
Longer ride on the weekends for about 2-3 hours and as the fling and Mogo comes up I will be swapping the commutes for a longer one
Questions...
Should I get a chamoix one as well?
Should I get longs ones, which cover the calf or just the shorter ones?
