Just in: Specialized fatbike due late 2013
At the Specialized Global Product launch, Specialized revealed a staggering amount of bikes, advanced materials and lab equipment. But the product that got the most cheers and celebration was the Specialized Fatboy. This is Specialized’s entry in the fast-growing fat bike category...

Shimano XTR Pedals over rated for trail use?
Was getting a bit of knee pain lately. So was doing a bit of investigation on the bike, and noticed that my one year old XTR M985 trail pedal bearings were flogged. The spline shaft had a heap of play. Check my 5 year XT pedals, no play. Had a set of old Deores in the shed no play. Will pull them apart tomorrow to see if the bearings can be changed.
Question about topeak pumps
Hi there,
Bit of a dumb question but I just bought a Topeak Joe Blow mountain pump.
http://www.topeak.com/products/pumps/jb_mountain
My question is is the yellow indicator on the pressure gauge ment to move as you pump? On mine, it doesn't move. The only way it moves is if I move it by hand.
Thanks for any help
All Mountain Bikes
Hi there.
I'm looking to upgrade to an all mountain bike in the next month or two, and have been seriously considering a 2013 Commencal Meta AM3 (can pick one up from Belrose for $2800). Has anyone got one or know people that do, or have any recommendations as to what people think are good (26er's)?
Price guide is $3500 give or take a bit.
Cheers.
Xavier.
New Bike
Pic of my new Trek Remedy 9. Changes include swapping to XT 2x10 cranks, XT trail spd pedals, Blackspire twinity chain guide and new grips.
Went to Awaba today for the first time and tested the remedy's all mountain abilities by doing a few laps of the xc course then rode up mount faulk rd to the down hill course. Coming down was fantastic and scary as all hell, the course was definitely bigger than the bike, but I ended up walking only two sections which I was happy with. Overall stoked with the bike and cannot wait to get it down to Ourimbah's all mountain course.

Any help would be much appreciated, i'm a newbie to all this.
What MTB tyre for kids 24" bike?
Hi all
Just got my son this bad boy. Tyres are shot. I was going to get the Ignitor/Crossmark combination but Maxxis don't do them in 24". It will be mainly used for XC and light DH (eg Mt Gunjin).
Recommendations?
