Seat moves / tilts when I ride.
My seat is changing its tilt position when I ride. It's so annoying that I turned around and came home rather than go riding at Glenrock.
The seat post is a Pro Tharsis and I have the clamp tightened to 13nm as recommended.
Note: This is a new problem and my fear is that the post has worn out - which is not good considering it has only had minimal use.
Any suggestions ?
bike to commute to and from work
hi guys I'm looking for a bike that i can commute to and from work on, its my first job.
im allready a keen mountain biker on my trance and its not suitable for riding to work on.
i am located in lesmurdie, and my job is in cannington
(for people who don't know the ride down from lesmurdie is very steep and obviously I've gotta get back up it.)
i was looking at road bikes but i am open to suggestions including brands, models etc
any response is welcome, thank you
SR Suntour forks go leading edge
... or is that bleeding edge 
... carbon crowns and lowers with bonded magnesium droputs. Some beefy looking DH forks too, with adjustable high and low-speed compression, and rebound.
Looks like there's a bit more to their arsenal than heavy coil sprung entry level, apparently Women's XCO gold medalist Julie Bresset won on one of their forks.

stupid vibration under brakes
Ok - so i have a problem ... (all funny conotations aside - most of which are probably true 
)
I have a 2011 stumpy FSR 29er - running jetblack front and rear rims, 203mm discs front and rear, Avid elixir hydraulic brakes
the issue i have is this - whenever i apply enough pressure on the rear brake lever so that the pads grab the disc - the whole frame vibrates and makes a shrieking sound, the front brakes are perfectly fine.
this is what i have done so far to try and remedy the issue
- tried the stock 185mm rear (no difference)
- new pads (no difference)
Elixer Brakes
G'day
Can someone tell me how to open up the brake pads on my Elixer 7 Brakes? The gap has closed up and the pads are rubbing on the disc while I am riding.
Mavic 2012 Crossmax ST hub 15 mm front axle spacers wanted
Hi
I have lost one of my Mavic 15 mm front spacers - a result of having to take my front wheel off every time I transport my bike on the back of the car (otherwise the exhaust 'bubbles' the UST tyre 
).
Anyways, does anyone have a set of 2012 15mm spacers lying around that they might sell me?
Regards
Richard
Torrent 1, Vapour 2 or Trance X3
I'm just getting into mtbing and went for a ride up at Kalamunda the other week and loved it. I used a friends Giant xtc and found that I felt to far forward on the bike especially going downhill. I have come to the conclusion that I want a good alround bike that is going to be good on the trails but will also allow me to do a little XC if I need to.
1 1/4" stem?
So I have got the new bike but it comes with a tapered steerer from 1 1/2" to 1 1/4". Not much luck finding a stem that size so I can swap out the OEM part. Does anyone know of any 1 1/4" models. The best solution I could find was a FSA OS120 that comes with a shim to reduce to 1 1/8"
Rear shock size.
Pretty close to ordering new fork and shock, as per previous posts.
One thing Id like to get some more advice on is rear shock size for 2012 Trance adv 1
Currently the factory shock is a Fox 7.250 x 1.750 XV (high volume)
The 'boost valve' model i want only comes in 7.5 x 2.0 (both high and std volume)
My Italian Stallion (N+1)
I picked her up this afternoon and took her a spin around Sydney park, first impressions are great.
The real test will be this weekend on the trails, I see there is a club race at Yellowmundi, which is tempting.....
Edit: It's a Bianchi Jab 29.1 with the fork upgraded to a RS Reba.
