Tubeless ??
I broke the valve of my rear wheel so I went and got a tubeless valve (dear those small things!). But when I was about to replace the broken one, I was horrified to discover that my Trance X1 with TUBELESS tires has tubes inside..... what is going on there ? Is that something normal Giant does to all new bikes ?
Now I can't even pump it up tubeless, the seal doesn't seem tight enough around the rim. What should I do ?

Want to order ayups but cannot decide on beams
Hello,
I cannot decide which to buy yet. I keep hearing different ideas about which beams are better for our use.
I cannot see us doing any crazy night riding, mainly fire trail and possibly some single track. Any users of ayups seen both beams of the current range of lights in the flash care to offer some guidance?
I have seen the beam shots on the website but I would like to know how people are going out there in the real world with the ayups. Also just curious how hard it is to get the beam changed afterwards? is it as simple as a lens change? or the actual light itself?
Advice please: Best Replacement Disc Pads for Shimano LX/XTR?
Hi Guys,
My rear brakes were misbehavin' on the weekend through the Southern Sojourn section of the Dam, and it turns out I need to replace the pads. They were making a racket and not providing a lot of power - the only time they locked was on the boards with a death grip on the lever. Replacing the fluid and giving the pads a clean with some brake cleaner and a rag stopped the noise, but the power has only marginally improved - still can't lock 'em on the road.
What do you guys reckon are the best options for replacement pads? They're Shimano LX brakes.
AYUP small parts order
Hey I am ordering some mounts from AYUP. Anyone need any bits and pieces?
This is not going to be a large group buy of lightsets....unless someone else wants to organise.
Let me know by Monday.

CRC order
I'll be placing a Chain reaction order about Wednesday or Thursday next week. I only need (can afford) about $200 worth of drivetrain stuff. They have some good specials at the moment.
Anybody interested in getting the order past $600 for free delivery?
PM or post if interested
Red Carbon?
So... I was in CBD this arvo and they had some red carbon bling on sale. Just couldn't help myself and snapped it up.
Q: So what, do you suppose it was? 
Stuff from the US
Looking at the prices of certain things in the US got me wondering about getting some stuff sent over by a mate out there. Has anyone done similar and got away with it?
T7 order
Hello all,
If anyone is making an order to T7 this week, can you please let me know? There is a cheap item that I want that doesn't justify the $9 mail cost by itself.
Thank you in advance.
