Leaking Rim
Has anyone ever had a rim leak air from the rim joint? I've just bought a new set of wheels and the rear one is leaking air form the rim joint, admittedly I haven't put any sealant in it yet but my old wheels don't have this problem so I'm thinking maybe something is wrong?
Suspension Fork : is "pre-load" the same thing as "rebound" ?
is "pre-load" the same thing as "rebound" ?
If not, what is the difference.
Thanks
Adding Sealant
Looking for opinions on adding sealant to tyres when going tubless, through the valve or straight into the tyre before you finish putting it on the rim?
Cheers
Cape to Cape on a 1 x 10
I was just wondering if anyone did the race sans front derailleur?? or even a 2x10, and just wondering how you went on the climbs mainly day 1, although there were a few granny gear climbs on day 2 early on.
I am looking at a new bike, but am not really sure if I want to go that way. Not that I want to buy a bike to do 1 race, but I would like to be able to do the cape to cape on it again next year. Bike wise I am thinking a santacruz tall boy or a yetti sb95, so going to move to a 29er.
my new bike
picked up my new Anthem x advanced 1 today.hoping to get up jarradale tomorrow,for a test, tune,and a good blast around.

3 ltr Hydration backpack - feedback on yours
Looking for feedback on 3 ltr hydration packs that will take some extra gear. Already have a 2ltr and a 3ltr Camelbak Classic packs. But need to carry more gear such as a first aid kit, Personal Locator Beacon, food bars, gels and sunscreen. Most other stuff is on the bike. Need 3 ltr as will be riding for 3+ hours in warmish weather. I don't need a cavernous pack that will carry rain jacket, other riding clothes, etc! Just with enough capacity to carry the above and not heavy .
Stans ZTR crests advice Pls
Hi Guys
An unusual thing happened to me this last week. I was riding my 29er up Red Hill ( unusual I know!) and I broke a spoke on the rear wheel. I've been running tubeless RR's snakeskins. As the spoke broke, the bottom end of the spoke dropped back into the tyre and inadvertently 'punctured' the wheel. It was a long walk home. The ZTR's don't come with a sealed inner case ( inside the wheel) cos of their weight saving properties.
Any ideas on how to prevent this happening again?

new crank choice
Hi Team
well my raceface cranks are pretty much dead now so it's time for a refresh and I am looking for advice . I am in the fortunate position of being able to get very good discounts on SRAM gear so will lean that way, otherwise XT would have been the no brainier choice.
question : does the X0 crank use a standard 104 bcd chainrings so iI can use my 1x9 setup or is it a propietary setup? it will be a pain if I have to buy a range of new chainrings
thanks in advance

Stans sealant with CO2 does not mix?
Can't recall where I read it but I'm sure it was here on Nobmob. Someone was saying that its not a good idea to mix Stans sealant with the gas ....
or was it just to inflate a TL ready tyre with CO2. cant recall exactly.
I know CO2 deflates after a while its only really there to get you home or back to transition in a race & then re inflate the tyre with proper air.
but why exactly was it not a god Idea to use CO2 with the Stans's sealant?
I use sealant in my tyres I also use CO2 when I've had a burp or a flat to re-inflate my tyre.
So whats the deal? 
Schwalbe Nobbly Nic mounted backwards
I've read on several different forums to mount the NN reverse. This forum included. Was it Hawkeye or Gazza who has mentioned it a few times?
So I thought I'd give it a try.
Most of my riding is around Manly Dam, Cascades, Duckhole & Centre track.
