Help with Rockshox fork

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hello,

I am looking at buying a set of Rockshox Reba RLTs. One of the adjustments listed on the SRAM website is low speed compression to lock. Therefore I am assuming this is an adjustment for low speed compression however the LBS said there was no low speed compression adjustment on the Reba's, just a threshold adjustment. Can anyone confirm which is correct.

What clip in pedals to choose

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I am looking to change from my Shimano M520 pedals. They have seen better days. Can anyone advise of a good replacement. I was thinking Crank Brothers Eggbeater 3 or Time ATAC XS. Are the bearings in the Eggbeaters as bad as they say and do I need shoe protectors with either of these.
Thanks, Emmett

I am looking at getting a Dean Titanium Duke 29er. I have been looking at Dean for a while and just found out they have a Australian distributor. Has anyone else got a Dean?

XX shifters

Can anyone tell me the make up of the 2012 Sram XX shifters. My question is, can the down shift lever be repositioned and used like Shimano ie. index finger down shift, or is all Sram thumb press for up and down shifting?

is 915 to wide for a handle bar?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

While out browsing the net Ive come across what is called the Yard stick. The Handle bar is 915mm wide started out as an office joke but became a reality. You can try super wide or cut it down to make an ultrastrong 750 bar as this has increased wall thickness.

Tool & tube storage options?

Hi Team

Historically I have used a canister in my second bottle cage to hold a tube, lever, co2 cartridge, co2 head, quick link and a $10 note. I like it because it's solidly mounted, quiet and fuss free. Unfortunately my new frame only has one bottle mount so I need an alternative, any suggestions?

Im not keen on saddle bags as they always seem to fall open. What else works for people? Id prefer something that's always on he bike

Hi there,
Anyone happen to know the frame weight for an 2011 or 2012 S-Works epic 26 (ideally frame+shock+brain)
Can't find it on the web.
Cheers
