Thoughts on pull shock
What are your thoughts (pros and cons) on a pull shock, like that seen on Scott genius and Cannondale Jekyll?
Sony action cam review
BNA, the site I occasionally write for, will have a review up soon on the new Sony HD Action Cam.
Here is a little bit of footage we shot the other weekend. A side-by-side comparison with the Hero2 will be forthcoming shortly. The riding's nothing spectacular, I am an old fart after all so be gentle 
I was quite surprised how good the bar-mounted footage was. Best viewed in HD.
That's not a bike shop. THIS is a bike shop.
Following on from Phil Beresford's thread about the Tour Divide, I saw this little piece about where Jay Petervary works.
Not sure how much of it is scripted marketing spin, but the passion and commitment to customer service just seems to ooze out of the staff that speak on the clip in a way that looks to be genuine.
Compare that to the customer service culture that we have to endure here in Australia and the contrast is noticeable.
Manly Dam Maggie/Butcherbird
Hi All,
Am planning to head out to the Dam this evening, and was wondering if the Bugger on King St is still active at the moment?
Haven't ridden Manly in a while, but last time I was out there I saw two people ride past me at the school with bleeding faces!
Cheers!

Sacrilege or cool? Super Light MX bike!
Kiwis build the world's lightest MX bike....based on downhill bike components....
I know it's a sacrilege ...but cool at the same time.
Help with rear shock choice
Still trying to decide on a replacement rear shock for my Specialized 2009 FSR XC. I found a Fox RP2 that is a XV. What exactly is a XV shock and what difference does it make to the ride over the standard can? I'm also not sure of which tune I need to get for my bike. The one I found is a medium rebound and compression and 175 psi boost valve pressure. Is that suitable? What significance is the boost valve pressure?
Thanks
