Nightride sunnies

Hi there,

I lost my clear sunglasses which I use for night ride.
I want to buy new ones, maybe better quality than my cheap ones. Any advice in the price range 50-100doll ?

Thanks

Yeti big top 2012 29er

Hi,

Has anyone rode yeti big top before? I am thinking to build one with 100mm fork. Any difference between 2012 and 2013 model? Is it worth to pay 1K+ more for full carbon frame? Any advise is welcome!

Carrying First Aid Kits

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Today I competed in the Convict 100 at St Albans. About 21km into the race on the first section of water bars where people stack every year there was a rider down with 3 other guys frantically waving me down. Naturally I stopped to find he had banged his head and had opened it up. The panic was due to none of them having any first aid kits on them.

I used my kit and then went for help. Lucky for him he had a nasty gash but didn't appear to have concussion or any major damage so I went for help and he was transported out of there.

What size co2 canisters do I need?

Going to use co2 canisters for fixing flats instead of pump. Question is what size co2 canisters do I need to fill a mtb tyre? 16g or 25g? Tyres are 26" 2.1-2.3 around 23-28psi. Thanks.

29er tyres for Sydney trails and commuting.

I'm due for new tyres so I'm looking for some advice here first before I spend my $$$.

***Trail Tyres***
Currently riding Specialized Fast Trak S-Works for the front (stock tyres) and Fast Trak UST on the rear. Don't really like them as I've had quite a few wishy washy experience with them on very ordinary conditions. The S-Works are light tyres but the sidewalls are very very thin and had them torn on my rear on my first ride with them.
