Got a ride in before the rain on Saturday morning at Lysterfield. 32kms of dusty single track. Hadnt been out there for a few weeks, so it was good to get back into it. Very dry and dusty though, seems like each time I'm out there, theres another dead tree that has fallen over. Hopefully the rain on the weekend has freshened things up a bit. cheers

Ok y’all, I am trying to make a definite list of aftermarket front hubs that can be easily modified to accept the 25mm through axel of the E150 Specialized front fork because they use the common 6805 bearings. 6805 bearings are 25mm ID x 37mm OD x 7mm W. Here is the list that I know now: Spinergy Version 4 Front hubs. Azonic Outlaw Wheel Set 20mm Front Hubs Industry 9 E-150 ...

Rider in front of me on part of todays ride broke his frame big time.....this is the most catastrophic failure of a frame I have ever personally seen happen. The rider was not jumping...headed across a trail was pedalling moderately and pow.....see pics! He had a long long walk out of the woods today.

Thinking of going with the specialized Phenom saddle. Thing is I'm around 235 pounds. I noticed they have a gel version but I already use shorts that are pretty heavily padded with the chamois. I'm just thinking that along with the extra padding from the gel version may be too much padding. Being over 200 pounds should I even be considering the regular Phenom saddle? It just looks like a very ...

I have been building my bike up now for about 6-7 months, buy parts as I can afford them. So, last tuesday I get the last of my parts in (pedals, saddle, handle bar, chain) to make my bike ridable, hoping that by the weekend I could take it for a trail ride. I spent all night tuesday night, putting things together, for example I still had to cut the hydralic lines for the brakes because without ...
