Securing bikes in the garage
We are getting a garage built at the moment, and the Mrs has basically said once it's done, the bikes are out of the house!
So with all these stories of bikes being pinched from Garages, I'm looking for some method of securing the bikes inside the garage.
Can anyone recommend a product? I'm thinking some sort of steel rail or hoop which can be dynabolted or concreted to the floor. I would then attach the bikes to this with a couple of D locks.
Karri cup - demo Giant Anthem 29er
Competed in my first Karri Cup over the weekend and also did my first event on a 29er that Midland Cycles kindly let me borrow leading it to it. All I can say is wow what a machine, the bike ate up the single track and then flew along the flats at a speed that felt like I was on a road bike ( that second stage was QUICK).
If anyone out there is thinking of making the change I'm taking the bike back this week (once its had a good tub) and I'm sure Mark will be happy to let it go out again.
New shocks required
I am a newby to the MTB world. Please go easy on me 
I have a 2012 Scott Aspect sport 29er which I crashed on the weekend. I needs a new front wheel and shocks so far. I dont want to spend big money on shocks and a wheel as the bike only cost me $900.
I have found some Manitou 100mm travel forks for about $200 or a pair of rock shox for the same money, which brand would be better? What should I expect to pay for a wheel/rim? It has Araya DS-700 Disc, 32H
Cheers Dave
Bike rack
Hi guys,
Thinking to buy a bike rack to put on my car (Honda H-RV)
The upper part where you attach the straps onto the car is glass… bit worry that it could break it.
See this image: http://image.cellbazaar.com/images/568484ee-0272...
Do you think it's ok?
What do you think of this rack? http://www.cellbikes.com.au/Allen-Folding-2-Bike...

Who is running normal Maxxis folding tyres, tubless?
Just got my new 29er wheelset. Hope hubs / No Tube Arch rims. Want to run some normal Maxxis folding tyres, tubless.
Has anyone had any problems doing this? Tyres "burping of rims" what sort of pressures should be run.
Cheers
Tune options on Fox RP23??
I'm thinking of upgrading the rear shock on my bike to a Fox RP23. Do these come in different compression tunes like the Rockshox Monarchs? Also the shock size on the bike is 7.5 x 1.75. the new one would be 7.5 x 2 so the stroke is 5mm more. would this make any difference?
Thanks
Alan
Sweaty eyebrows
Whenever I wear glasses riding (sunglasses) they either steam up or they get dribbles of sweat on them from my eyebrows.
This obviously defeats the purpose of wearing them as I cannot see anything through the misty, sweat marks.
Is there such a thing as glasses that do not mist up and have some sort of rubber eyebrow band built in to stop the excess sweat going on to the lens?
Opinions on tubeless kits
I'm running DT Swiss XR4.1d rims with Nobby Nic UST 2.1's, looking to ditch the tubes and wondering which kit is the best option.
The DT Swiss kit is reasonably priced and designed for the 4.1s, but has mixed reviews
The Stan's kit says it is compatible with 4.1s
Any suggestions / other options?
