Specialized epic fork
Hey guys,
I'm tossing up between keeping my rockshox SID Brain forks
Or changing to the Fox flow CTD fork.
Who else has the epic fork and what do you think?
And has anyone swapped to the Fox fork?
Cheers Tony
Bike recommendations for 3-4 yo kids? ByK?
What do you reckon given below? I like the look of the ByK E-350, which amazingly has 18 inch wheels despite being designed for 4-6 year olds, so as well as being light and hopefully more enjoyable, I reckon it will last my daughter longer than a 12 inch saving money in the long run.

What size front rotor for disc brake
I was wondering what size front brake rotor most people were using for typical perth hills riding. Places like kalamunda and Forsyth's Mill.
160 or 180? Is there any benefit in upsizing to a 180.
I am getting new wheels and need to buy centrelock rotors. Not sure whether to go 160 or 180.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Convert to 180mm disc brake rotor
I've got a set of Avid Elixir 3 disc brakes. Currently have 160 front rotor.
I am getting new wheels that use shimano centrelock discs and figure I will upsize to a 180mm front rotor.
It all seems so confusing what adaptor I need to buy to convert the Elixirs from 160 to 180.
Can anyone please advise what adaptor I need. Thanks for the help.
Trails 4 Us
Well it seems like New Zealand is leading the way when it comes to cycle tourism. The New Zealand government and its local councils have made a commitment of $80 million to build off road cycling trails. They are already leading the way in cycle tourism and are going to attract even more riders.
night MTB rides - lights

Schwalbe Nobby Nic - thoughts or experiences?
I rode these for the first time today on a Trance 29er and had 2 crashes on gravelly turns. I suspect that the tread is too open, it moves around and slips quite a bit, but the edge looks good and it climbs well.
I'm used to Spesh Fast Tracks.
What are your thoughts or experiences?
