Light Warranty

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Customer Service/Warranty:
I purchased a Sigma Light set in Germany and brought it back.

Works very well and was good Value.
One of the Lights gave up and I went to the LBS.
The LBS was great and sent it in to the Sigma Rep.
They/he did not want to know anything about the light, as it was not purchased in Aus, but the same Light is sold in Aus, especially in Melbourne I found out!
A little upset, but moving on I sent an e-mail to Sigma in Germany and ask which way we could fix the Light?

Should I get some Elixirs?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'm interested in upgrading my brakes from Juicy 3s to possibly the new Avid Elixir R. Not being the biggest tech head I was wondering if i could get some advice first.
- Will this be a worthwhile upgrade or should I save my pennies for something better?

I have spotted this set on e-bay for what I consider a decent price ($300AUD inc postage) but am a bit concerned about a few things:

Dabbling with Singlespeed

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hey guys, I know I'll probably be shot down for this, but I was just thinking of dabbling in some singlespeed. I was thinking of getting into it as a DIY project and just slowly build one up over time. Nothing urgent or immediate

What makes it slightly different is I was thinking of having a multi-purpose SS bike. SS to commute for added training (rather than add km's) and a SS for fun on the trails. Could this be as simple as 1 bike, 2 sets of wheels? Then there is the question of rigid fork or suspension, 29 or 26 and many others.

This may be an out there question but...

I was riding home last night on the XC bike (Specialized Stumpy) and i normally ride home on the other bike (Giant OCR Compact road bike) after cursing the hill up to North Sydney while following a commuter and thinking gee the XC bike is inefficent on the road! perhaps a carbon bit here or there would help, harder tyres blah blah blah

I was thinking....

Bike Workstand

I'm sick of propping my bikes up on chairs and boxes, i need a workstand

Anybody got any recommendations for a good bicycle workstand.
I'm pretty keen on a DIY if it turns out more financially viable.
Any comments appreciated
Thanks

hey!

Does anyone know of a bike shop near Alexandria? I wouldn't mind having one near work for all my commuting needs.

Decent towbar bike rack?

I'm on the hunt for a decent towbar bike rack, and to make it interesting I need to be able to get it for tomorrow morning for the drive down to Mogo. I'm thinking either my LBS or one of the car shops. Has anyone bought one from one of those places that can recommend it?

Cheers

Mogo - mud tyres

A choice of Maxxis Crossmarks, Maxxis Ignitor and Kenda Small Block 8, all UST and 2.1, which would you recommend for a rear tyre? (front has Ignitor already)

I am thinking Ignitor may be the best of 3 as it has big blocks wide apart... since Mogo is going to be a mud pit.

Thanks.

Tien.
