Waterproof treatments to re waterproof a rain jacket?
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?

Old ATX into a new shiny 29-er?
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?
