Thanks.
Which forks ???
OK, so I have ended up with 2 mountain bikes and am wanting to pick off all the best bits so I have 1 reasonable bike & 1 crap bike (although they will both be very low end).
I have a pair of "Marzocchi Bomber Z-4, 4 inch travel" forks from a 2001 model Norco Bigfoot. They dont have any lockout or preload. I think they were quite decent forks back in 2001??
I also have a pair of 2009 SR Suntour XCT-V2 forks. With preload & lockout.
I know they are both pretty average forks, but which do you recommend I put on the better bike.
Your opinions would be great. Thanks
Brake upgrade???
Looking to upgrade brakes on my enduro, not happy with the avids, the levers have started playing up and out of warranty. Price is not really an issue what's every one running? Not looking for a cross country set I like going down hill more than up but weight is a factor. Like the look of hope tech v2's.

Tyre advice needed!
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I know that this topic has been covered already but I'm still unsure what tyres to choose. Basically, I'm from the UK where I used Tioga downhill tyres on my Planet X hard tail for just about every surface. I moved to Freo and chose Maxxis Cross Mark 26 x 2.10 front & rear because of its raised central bead, as I knew I would mainly be riding on roads, cycle paths, and the odd trail. I'm about to move up to Stoneville, right next to the old heritage railway line, which, as you know, is mainly pea gravel.
New Bike Options
Firstly would like to say hello to everyone here being a new member.
The title is pretty self explanatory, I'm in the process of looking for a new bike.
I have been out of the bike scene for a couple of years so not sure whats a good buy these days.
The budget is set at about $2300 for the bike leaving another $200 for some new gear / accessories.
Looking for a DS rig for some trail / endure style riding.
Currently have my eyes on a 2013 Giant Trance 29er X1 as i can pick one of these up for just under $2300.
650b
650b has got me thinkin.most of the pros of a 26er and most. of the pros of a 29er but none of the cons of a 29er.interesting.just wandering what would happen if the 29er rider was to put 650b on his bike .how would it handle?better or worse...btw im not a 29er rider or 650b,im still a 26er

Tyre tubes ??
OK. Silly question.
I have size 26" 2.1 tyres on my MTB. Schwalbe Rapid Rob & Black Jack.
Do I get tubes size 1.7 - 2.1
or
size 2.1 - 2.6 ???
Apparently the Black Jack tyre is quite large for a 2.1. So I was thinking of getting the 2.1-2.6. But I don't want to get a tube too large.
Is there any benefit of getting one size over the other? Lower tyre pressure?
Thanks for your help.
Performance enhancement.
Do MTBrs use performance enhancing drugs or is it just a roadie thing?

Garmin Maps
Hi Guys,
I went ahead & purchased the Garmin edge 800. Would love some advice on what type of maps I need to download? what brand? & where to get them from? I do most of my mountain biking in W.A. Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Dave.
