What clip in pedals to choose

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I am looking to change from my Shimano M520 pedals. They have seen better days. Can anyone advise of a good replacement. I was thinking Crank Brothers Eggbeater 3 or Time ATAC XS. Are the bearings in the Eggbeaters as bad as they say and do I need shoe protectors with either of these.
Thanks, Emmett

I am looking at getting a Dean Titanium Duke 29er. I have been looking at Dean for a while and just found out they have a Australian distributor. Has anyone else got a Dean?

hey guys I've had problems with my go pro ranging from it rattling inside its case when riding to the bracket holding it to the mount breaking. the new mount cost me $7 plus $9 postage(what a rip off)

I've tried bubble rap to stop the rattle but that hasn't worked

Roval Carbon 29er Rim

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Below is a preview, click to read the full post

So was just prepping my 2011 S-works for the Pemberton race tomorrow and noticed a buckle in the front wheel, on closer inspection found a large crease in the rim, right inline with a spoke! the spoke appears to be pulling through the rim slightly. So she is pretty farked I'm thinking.

What to do?? I don't have a spare 29er rim. Can I just run a 26inch rim? thoughts? anyone have a spare lying around?

Also do you think there would be any sort of warranty or crash replacement through Specialized? at least a cheaper deal "I was just rind along when...."

what tyre should i buy?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I'm running the stock/standard schwalbe hobby nic tyres on my giant trance and within 400km of medium paced riding I've gone through 3 tubes and some small tears in the tire, i think i need a harder compound but not sure which tire is ideal, i am mostly riding on gravel and a small amount of tarmac to the dirt.

thanks in advance

Which bike is best for Annaconda

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Help. I am a swimmer. I have no idea about bikes and have agreed to try to learn and do a duo for Anaconda in Augusta in November. I really need help.

1 as a mum after this event I am not so sure I will do too much off road biking (unless I LOVE it) and may do a triathlon (small fun distance) so I want a mountain bike I can use on road too if such a thing exists.

2 I am a chicken going down hill, at the moment, so want something with good brakes and that is light to help me up hills.

Can anyone tell me where to start and what to consider for my bike purchase, please.
