How much travel do I need?
Hi all,
Looking for advice on a FS bike for Manly Dam and surrounds. No need for brands, etc as I know it's a passionate and personal thing. What I am keen to hear is how much travel is required.

Getting the best from an indoor trainer?
I've just started to work out on a trainer in the garage. Broke my wrist end of November and could be off the bike until March / April. I;ve set my self a goal though of coming out of the injury fitter than when I went in... as the alternative is sitting on the couch drinking beer and that's not going to be helpful.
I've also just fitted a cadence and speed sensor and am planning to use the Strava workout guides and Sufferfest videos as a start.
What's it worth?
Hi all,
So I have this stripped down Giant Trance 2 (29") frame that I'm considering just selling and buying a whole kit from scratch. I know I should probably pop this into the classified section - but I wanted an idea of what to charge before I listed it there...
I bought the bike brand new 6 months ago for $2K and stripped all the stock parts off for XTR. But now I've built a second bike - which will be my daily commuter to Perth city (work) and back and have put my XTR on that bike.
Help - shudder front end
I haven't ridden my bike for about 3 months. Took it out for a spin around the block and noticed a horrible vibration or shuddering on the front end of the bike. Looking down around the bottom end of the fork and brake caliper area, I can see it vibrating quite a lot on braking. Thought it was a loose wheel so tighten it up but didn't fix. when I walk the bike with the front brake on, i dont't feel anything. caliper feel fairly tight. almost feels like something is loose. there was nothing wrong with the bike when i stopped riding before.
Any help greatly appreciated.

After a weekend of riding I have a badly burnt head in the shape of the helmet vents . My Q is what do you use for a bit of protection from the sun ....oh & I've tried sunscreen but it ends up in my eyes.. 
26 inch commuting tyres
my wife is ridding to work on my old 26 inch trek and would like some road orientated tyres that we can run tubeless any ideas
At the moment theres a cross mark on the rear and an ignitor on the front something even with less tread than the cross mark would be the go
Thanks
Fitting a tapered steerer into a straight headtube
I recently scored a set of 2012 RS reba forks for a good price, the only problem was they had a tapered steerer and my old Giant XTC (2003) was setup for a straight steerer. After a little bit of research and measuring I came to the conclusion that the original headset was an internal cup or zero stack and the ID of the headtube was 44mm, this meant I could get a EC44/40 bottom cup from Hope's 'mix and match' range and it would accept the tapered steerer with a stack height of 14mm. when I got it I was really impressed by the quality and it fitted well without a problem.
