Wheel Selection
Hey Guys,
I am considering upgrading my my front fork and at the same time, upgrading my wheels as well. I will be looking at getting a FOX 36 TALAS and this has a 20mm thru axle so i will need a 20mm thru axle compatible hub.
Any suggestions for some all mountain style wheel sets? I have had a look at chain reaction and so on and have found some decent wheels but i wanted to get as much info as possible before making a final decision. What type of wheels are some of you guys running? I would like something that is strong that i do not have to worry about bending or so on.
The other option i have is to keep my current wheels and just re-build the front with a new hub. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
How to uglify your bike
Uglifying your bike....
get rid of the nobs and put on the slicks.
How ugly is this!!
Funny thing was as I dismantled the LUST crossmarks and ignitors as their 3 month expiry was reached, I had very different results in both front ignitors and rear crossmarks.
Residue left in front ignitor with a very strange latexy 'growth'
and
Residue left in rear crossmark. Heaps more left than the front, even though they were installed at the very same time..... Strange huh?
Chainrings and compatability with Race Face Evolve
I have a Race Face Evolve crankset which needs new middle and big chainrings. This will be the second time in 18months. I'm not altogether keen on the wear rate of the Race Face rings and was wondering if I can put on other brands ie, XT
Anybody done this?
Cheers

20" shorts from Clarence st Cyclery ?
Hi all,
does anyone recall the "20 Inch" brand cargo shorts which were sold at Clarence St Cyclery in black and beige. Apparently it wasn't really part of the store and they were found downstairs in the workshop.
I got a pair and as they are wearing wanted to get some more but they are no longer sold. No one seems to know who the seller is and where they might still be stocked. The internet hasn't thrown up anything either.
Can anyone help ?
Cheers
lightweight body armour
Hi,
I do a lot of trail riding and am thinking about investing in an upper body armor suit. I want to know what you recommend for a really light weight armor that can be worn for like 4 hour rides or so??? I have been looking at 661 and Dainese but can't find out too much info on good stockists or what people have got in the light weight department. I want to stay clear of the bulky DH style armor. Can you please make suggestions or point me to a store or so that can help.
Cheers everyone
