What does your bike weigh?
What bike is it and do you have any fancy schmancy parts on it? Mention if it's 26er or 29er.
Trying to get some idea of what is "normal".
XTR (M975) kit on 2013 Giant Trance 29er 2 - rear Brake caliper not fitting?
Hi all,
I recently bought a Giant Trance 29er (2) and a s/h XTR grouppo.
There were a few changes to be made (screw type bb vs press fit, etc).
But where I'm getting stuck big time is that the rear XTR (IS) caliper - even with an adapter - isn't getting anywhere near grabbing the disk?
The caliper needs to get closer to the frame, but all the adapters put the caliper further away?
Do I just need to buy a bigger rotor? Thanks 
Phytophthora cinnamomi.(dieback)
After riding the KC trails today, noticing all the muddy and wet areas and the bike needing a good rinse after the ride it made me think about Phytophthora cinnamomi.(dieback)
Re stanning a Tubles - having valve issues.
Folks,
Having recently "dethorned" my back tubles tire and got it back on full of stans the value is pissing air from where the valve meets the rim. Ive tried reseating it, I fiddled and its isnt working, so the question is - is it a case of maybe there is left over crap from the previous or some thing or do I need to get a new valve?
Thanks

Leonardi Racing Kit General Lee 11/40 cassette kit
Can't find original post where someone asked about the above kit so will start a new post. I'll put my impressions of the kit up here and any problems/issues. I've just fitted the system and have not ridden it seriously so this is just setting the scene. This kit changes the gearing on a SRAM 10 speed 11-36 cassette to an 11-40, 10 speed. It is also compatible with the front ring from a SRAM 1 x 11 but keeps all the standard shifting gear. For Shimano the kit is different and turns it into an 11-42 cassette.
Which shoes
Looking at getting a pair of carbon sole shoes for the stiffness what's a good brand to spend me bonus on any suggestions tanks
2013 Giant Trance Setup / Tyres
Hi,
My first post here so apologies if it's in the wrong place.
After six months of trying to setup my 2013 Trance X2 I think I've finally got the setup ok, I've fitted a 80mm stem (I'm 175cms) and screwed around with the seat position so I'm not flying around all over the place. Any general or Trance specific suggestions on adjust rebound etc? I'm 86kg's with gear and run the front shock @ 110 and the rear @ 210.
Mojo HD - Couldn't resist
Well...I went up to Kala Cycles to see the boys about the HD they had in store on a super sale, had a ride around the block and thought about it over night and the rest is history, I picked it up this afternoon and took it for a quick burn at the goat farm on the way home. Hitting Gunjin tomorrow 
Is 2.1" front tyre too narrow
I normally run a 2.35 ignitor (tubed) on the front but changing to UST after a very sad pinch flat last night.
I can get a cheap new LUST Ignitor for $30. However it's only 2.1 and I've read these are possibly thinner than stated. So is this going to be grippy and robust enough around the KC and the jumps on Loco, Lancaster etc?
tektro draco
Folks,
Out here looking to buy a bike and the topic of brakes came up.
Question: How popular are tektro draco brakes? and can I get them serviced and get pads in Perth?
Opinions?
Thanks
