Are 29ers any good at rock climbs?
I'm looking at new bikes and thinking of crossing to the dark side.
My question is can 29ers climb rock step ups as easy as easy as a 26" ie: Manly dam steps at the top of the track and Red Hill steps.
I know they take a bit more effort to get up hills like heart break on the dam , but don't really want to miss out on the mountain goat stuff.
I wasn't convinced by the shop salesman answers so real life experiences would be appreciated.
Cheers
Anyone have a GoPro they‘d be willing to loan?
Hi guys,
2013 Tour de France Road Gap
I didn't see this in the tour coverage, but came across this video this morning.
I am assuming it is legit. Not sure how they could get away with this !

Best route through the city
I know this is not strictly an MTB post but I know there are a lot of commuters on here that may be able to help.
The only chance I have of a ride this weekend is a road ride and I fancy a change from my normal loop. I've only crossed the bridge by bike a couple of times and neither route to the bridge seemed particularly great. I've tried Google maps but that wants to take me along past Darling harbour. O.o
Starting from my place in Zetland, which is the best way to the bike on ramp of the bridge?
Hardtail 29er
I am looking to purchase a 29er hardtail for easy flowing fire trail type events. I currently ride a trek fuel ex8 which I absolutely love and is one of the smoothest and nicest climbers I have ever ridden. So looking at the bike I have, how much would I be looking at for a similar quality hardtail 29er. I am not a one trick pony trek man so I am open to what your opinions but I am looking for value/$.
Trail riding this weekend ?
Just putting it out there, I assume the most decent thing to do is give it a miss for this weekend. Hit the road bike instead.
Specialised FutureShock Fox Problems
2012 model, when I sit on my bike the rear shock compresses all the way, actually pushes o-ring off the shaft, I've checked air pressure. Can anyone shed some light on this please, or is it a case of leave it for the experts?
