Waterproof treatments to re waterproof a rain jacket?

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

So I stayed off the sodden trails on the weekend and instead headed out on the road. I've got a 6 year old "waterproof" jacket.

Netti with Entrant that was meant to be like goretex. Anyway riding on the weekend my jacket just became wet and slowly seaped through. My partners jacket is the same model but only two years old and the water was beading straight off hers.

This is the jacket http://www.bicyclehq.com.au/clothing/jackets-and...

Anyone had any luck with waterproofing treatments? Any recommendations?

If your seat post is past the max limit, what damage can that do to the bike and the seat post?

I have a set of Avid elixir 5 brakes on my Giant anthem x2 2011

They make weird rubbing sounds when i brake, especially my rear brake

is there anything i need to do to make them perfect brakes?

Giant have made their own rims and installed them on the 2011 anthems

Does anyone know if these rims are good for cross country riding??

Old ATX into a new shiny 29-er?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all,

So, I have my old trusty Giant ATX760 which has been with me since the early 90's and still goes strong! Last year I overhauled it with 2010 XT - complete groupset!

My question is - has anyone had any experience 'converting' their frames to 29-inch specs? Old or new will help.

I'm thinking of upgrading the wheels to 29-ers and in theory they'll fit (I've measured both front and rear wheel arches / forks, etc. I'll have to alter the calipers (am thinking of going disk anyway!) grip length, but other than that - it should work, no?

Any experiences / ideas / thoughts?

Rear shock lock out

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

I have a Trance X2 2011 only 2 months old and I am new to MTB riding
when rear shock RP2 is locked out how much travel should there be, seems to be the same
where ever the lever is dose the lock out position only make it stiffer
