I've read reviews of what others are running on Sydney trails, but do you mix it up for races and different conditions? Do you stick to the tyres that you're used to the "feel of"?

Anyone like to share the combination of tyres they're planning for the next event and why. Also later on how they performed.
Perhaps then we can all share from each others knowledge (especially from someone like Whisperer) and all can be well prepared for the conditions.

I'd love to run this as a poll but the combinations are too many.

Seems like 10 rear, 2 front is the new 9 rear, 3 front. If you know what I mean? I wish they'd quit it and just get a tiny, lightweight, in-BB gearbox going instead.

According to this, both SRAM and Shimano are going that way.

GDay,

I am a long time reader of the forum and now a new poster. I was wondering if there was a contact email address to the website?. The reason I ask is I am making a formal complaint to Scott bikes and am wanting to cc as some influential people and sites in on the email to get a point across.

GDay All

Have found my DT QR skewers (stock on 08 trance X1) are binding up
AM looking to get some XT QR skewers, rang around all LBS's and no-one stocks them
Ordered some XT at LBS but Shimano have taken over 6 weeks and waiting, Dunno what is going on there???

Was wondering if anyone can recommend any other after market skewers
Hope?
XTR??
Crank Bros Split QR??
and any online retailers??

any advice would be appreciated
