New baby
After getting hooked on big wheels but fancying a bit more spring than my current aluminum frame gives I've decided to take the plunge & go new old school. 853 steel with taper HT & the ability to run Gates belt drive (I also love the colour)
See you out there.
Tubeless Set Up - Panaracer Fire XC Pro
Just wondering if anyone runs/has ran Panaracer Fire XC Pros (folding bead non UST) as tubeless and how they went?
Camelbak anyone?
Hey guys,
Just a brief message as to racing gear. I currently have a 3L camelbak which I give a good thumping to, and is perfectly good. It has a good zip up compartment and a food pouch etc, and is great for the full day rides and walks, etc.

Rock Shox Reba fail
Has anyone seen this before?
I found it this morning getting ready to go for a ride, very annoyed to say the least.
Should I be chancing warranty?
It is about two years old

Fox Remote Switch
Hi Guys,
I'm looking at getting this addition put onto my Trance for both F+R shocks, kinda getting sick or bending down all the time to change the CTD settings and would like the option to be able to do this on the fly all the time without waiting for a smooth section of trail.
I have been told from one of the guys at TBE I need to send my rear shock over east to get the knob changed and could take 2 weeks...Surely i can get this done in WA somewhere..
So my question is are there any licensed Fox shock service agents in WA?

recommendations for tyre to help with climbing
At the moment I'm running Hutchinson Bulldogs 26x2.3 on front and back, but more and more I'm finding the rear slipping or flinging out in faster technical sections when it rides up against a sloped rock...also wouldn't mind a little more grip with handling the occasional rocky uphill climb.
Any recommendations in this area?
Bike setup.
A mate at work just bought a new roadie and had the setup done at the shop. They used laser levels etc etc to make sure the saddle position, stem length and all the other malarky were "right". Now this was a bit more than the "knee bent at bottom of pedal stroke" thing but less than a full on bike fit costing a few hungy.
Help with replacing chainring
Hi guys,
I have a noob question about changing chainrings. Basically, how the heck do I do it! I have a copy of Zinn which hasn't help much. I want to replace the granny chainring. The crankset I have is a Shimano FC-M442-8, Octalink Spline. Do I need to take the whole crank off before I can get to the chainring? Or can I leave the crank arm on and slip the rings over it?
So far all I have managed is to take the bolt off the crank which is pretty pitiful! (see pic). I haven't tried undoing the chainring bolts.
servicing fox suspension.
I'm looking to have a go at doing a basic service on my suspension and I have some questions for those of you who have serviced their own Fox forks and air cans. Firstly, I have a 2011 Anthem x3 with the initial forks and air can which as far as I can work out are Fox rp2 air can and Fox F-series 100rl forks.
