Hi,

I had something of a branch/disc brake event whilst out on the bike the other day. The branch managed to wedge itself into the rotor, met the chainstay, bent the disc and then the bent disc has taken a chunk out of the caliper too. End result - one dead Elixir 7 caliper and rotor.

SO.....options are, replace with the same OR do I upgrade to something better? Have to admit that the longer I've had the Elixir's (they're a year old now), the more troublesome and noisy they're becomming.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows anything about adjusting the rear shock on a prophet? I'm a big guy and almost bottom it out just sitting on it. Cheers

Hi All
I am sold on 29ers being a fast way to cover ground & am convinced of their speed advantage especially on reasonably sucky ground (eg, a field, sand etc), however as an allround fun trail bike how do they compare?

I see the yanks are crossing up and getting some serious air on the new generation of 120 - 140mm 29er bikes from the likes of Santa Cruz & Pivot etc but is this just for the marketing men to show that they can do it or are trail riders buying these $5000- $10,000 bikes and giving them a serious thrashing?

Hey

Just wondering if anyone can confirm for me the steerer diameter on the 2011 Anthems, as I want to buy a shorter stem. The pages for 2012 models clearly state that they have overdrive two headset which have 1 1/4" but 2011 model merely state that they have tapered headsets which would lead me to think that they are the more common 1 1/8". Can anyone confirm this for me?

thanks in advance Chris
