So ive been wanting one if these since the kickstarter. So plonked down the monies last year and slowly , very slowly gathering parts

Just wondering for you UK types, how big a deal is the Comm games for you? I guess personally and as a nation? Just asking as an Australian where over here it seems to be bigger than the Olympics.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=375513 [hopefully the right spot, but Mods move if need be] Well since I'm in Australia, first in best...ridden or something. Got out this morning before the rain's came and had the trails to myself. Hopefully the pics work from farcebook, but since photobucket's gone...

Anyone used the Nubuk flites? I was thinking of getting one 'cause a) I want another flite, b) $10 cheaper than normal c) the brown colour would be different (not sure if better or worse). But not really sure what the nubuk is like. Probably going on my road bike..or a mtb. Currently run a 1990...

Ok, so i think I'm going out of my mind here I have some speed dial 7 and sigle digit 7 and I can't seem to make them work. Been long time SHimano XT user and been fairly happy until the last few years, but that was my own stupidity for not changing cable/hosing...or eve lubing them for...

I'm sure I saw somewhere that there is a doodad that turns a cable stop into guide for either a brake hose or full length cable... but i've no idea what they're called to look for them. Any ideas?

OK so I feel the imminent need to buy some new v brakes, question; front/rear whats the difference. I've only ever bought them as a pair (last time was 1998). Figured that the front/rear might mean the noodle comes in n the other direction or something but mine are the same anyway... So what's...

SO American Eagle are back making bikes... I dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing...or even a thing. I only remember them because of Bart Brentjens (and a coupe of great build threads on here), I kinda think its cool, but I guess it depends on what they make. Maybe they'll make a Bart...

So I'm half watching some shoe on tv about a car restoring place in Canada and they're tlking about some ye oldie car and the new tyres they got for it, and I look and there is a dead set ringer for some Onza Porcs in all white. Apparently some remake of an old tyre mold... got me thinking was a...

Today we had lovely weather and a few people turned out for a nice cruisy ride of around 25km. I'll post a couple of pics as soon as I upload them... Thanks to Simon for organizing us all into gear (not sure if he's on here?)

Well I'd discovered a while ago that pretty much all the trails they've been putting in around my I can ride in the middle chainring (till I'm knackered anyway). Which is good, but then I've always tried not to cross chain too much. Now I was having an issue with my Xizang, it was having a fit...

Hey all, does anyone use, or know about using lock ons with bar ends? I've got a couple of sets and I really like how you can ust slide them on and off so easily over the struggles with regualr ones, since i'm trying some various setup changes. But the ones I have, 1 set maybe could be used...

I was thinking, since there isn't a new road bike area and this area seems to be 99.9% mtb (no issue with that), maybe just a road bike thread. I've been doing lots of road biking lately...but nowhere to blather about it... don't want to make a build thread on a completel bike. I never thought...

OK So a few gathered gtogether for a bit of a ride today. Was supposed to be a few weeks ago, but bad weather stopped that...but today was beautiful... A few pics by the GF, sorry no rideing shots, we were a bit to busy having an awesome time... rocking the retrobike T for...

So new bike, doing some adjusting, whats going on with the seatpole, allen key won't fit...OH! Torx, ok then, whip out multi tool and torx away... then discover all the in house brand stuff is torx...hmmm thats new to me, but hey, wave of the future and stuff. Today, pondering the grips, toss...

Just wondering, we nowdays have split the MTB in pre and post 97 sections, but we only have a classic road bike section. Now I know this may only appeal to me, but what of the idea of a newer roadie section. I've recent;ly become a convert to the road, and while I love old MTBs, i have no real...

We just bought a new house, GF decided to paint and decorate the lounge room, I had nothing at all to do with it, so it turned out alright. ...except the couch, we got that as it looked "pretty" but it in no way fits into the scheme of the room...and is in fact the most uncomfortable f'ing...

Well I've had this bike for a good while now, but thought I'd make a build thread just for posterity and giggles. Ever since I opend up my first mountain bike magazine (mountain bike international I think late 1991 edition) and it had the double page add with the Zaskar in it, I was...

OK now this is for purly useless info for myself, but I have seen a web page out there somewhere that somebody had post up all the models of Sid's over the years (team black box, sidney etc) but I'd blowed if I can find it form searching, anyone know it? I don't need to know this stuff, but...
