Hi everyone,

Can you guys offer some advice on what sort of tyres you run and what would be a good all round set up. I have a trance x1 and have just about worn the nobby nics out. Riding on the road during all the bloody wet weather hasn't helped. Anyhow I'm not overly cashed up and cant really afford lots of different set ups for different conditions so I'll save these oldies for the road and get a new set up for the dirt. I mainly ride Glenrock, Awaba and am entered for Wollombi and The Highlands Fling later this year. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Now that ive got a second bike, i've dismantled my old ridge rider to give it a bit of a birthday and am thinking of upgrading bits and pieces. So before i journey into the wilderness of the web, what are a couple of good web sites to get gear from (new and 2nd hand).

Have been looking around for a new hydration pack for the Summer and wondered about trying out the Camelbak which I have not used before.
They have a new antidote bladder with a removable hose connection so this should make it easy to pull out and pop in the fridge/esky.
I don't need a huge bag and was looking like going for the LOBO.
Can anyone have any comments or pet hates about any of the Camelbaks?

Recently I went to have my DU Bush & alloy Reducers replaced on My Anthem X

LBS was happy to do it for me. But didn't have the reducers. They said. "Shell be right" & fitted the originals.

Well... They have worn out again. I can feel the play in the suspension. So this time I'm doing it Myself. However I want to make sure I'm certain about the size of the alloy reducers.

Does anyone know what size they are ?
My Bike is a Anthem X1 26". My rear shock is a FoxFloat R

I think it would be this one here but I'm not 100% sure.
