Bike rack for Jeep

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a rear bike rack for a Jeep Cherokee. With the spare wheel on the rear door I cannot use a
Swagman 3 bike standard fold down towball which would be ideal.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
Lee

Help replacing hydro hose please

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

OK I finally have my replacement hose for the Juicy 7 that I nearly cut through at Canberra. Have a bleed kit and both manuals but do you think I can find instructions on how to change the hose anywhere? Nuh only how to shorten a hose that is already full of fluid. Mostly common sense but I have a couple of questions for anyone that may have had to replace their hose before.

tubeless tyres

i have bought a new bike a few months ago with tubeless rims. i fitted tubes as advised and am happy with them. the only downside seems to be that the range of tyres and price if i were to look for medium compound tyres 26 x 2.15 what would you suggest?

Single-Speed Mountain Bikes

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all,

Has anyone had experience with Single speed mountain Bikes.
I am think of adding one to my 2 mountian bikes i have already.
I mainly want to use it as a backup bike in case my commuter fails and also a backup and the occasional lap or 2 at 8/12/24 hr events.
I am particularly interested in this bike http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/bikes/07_bikes/exi...
prices are about $1500-$1700 au and seems pretty good value, front suspension with lockout, hydro brakes, parts seem to be mid range and this is cool as this will not be my main bike. Weighs about 12kgs

Tubeless

Can anybody give me a crash course in running tubeless tyres.
I've just bought a bike on Ebay and it has Mavic X819 wheels with Hutchinson Python NG tubeless.

What pressure do I run them at?
Do I need to use Stan's no tubes or the like?
What happens if they deflate - can I just pump them up again?
Is there any special maintenance required?

I'm about 85 kilo's, ride trails and wouldn't jump off anything over 1 metre.
