Equal parts right/wrong with the industry. Love the new stumpy evo. Hate how inflated bike prices have become, compounded by increasing lower component standards.
The comp model (SLX drivetrain) is $4100 USD in the US but somehow end up being $6900 AUD in Aus (~5k USD), some 20% more. I can...
Frpm the pinkbike article:
"I was really struggling with my setup, I was uncomfortable and didn’t have any confidence in the new setup. Halfway through the season, I realised that nothing was going to change and I was getting over trying to race like that.
I had a few teams reach out to me so...
Well I ended up getting them a few months ago, and they are amazing!
I only weigh 150lbs so not sure how they would fare for bigger dudes, but so far for me they have been flawless.
Routier07 - You could always swap the levers out for XT/XTR? I'm not sure how this would affect power (if at...
Anyone had any time on the new XT trail brakes?
I saw the thread on the XTR versions and feedback was the were pretty good, I take it XT's would be same/similar?
My elixirs have sh1t themselves and I dont want anymore Avids, but don't want to cough up for Saints or Formulas either.
Thanks.
Anyone seen the new HT pedals? 11mm thin and super light:
1. Al Body/Cr Spindle: 350g
2. Al Body/Ti Spindle: 315g
3. Mg Body/Cr Spindle: 283g
4. Mg Body/Ti Spindle: 244g
I'll definately be trying a pair of the Mg/Cr ones when they're out.

Give TBSM a call on (02) 9586 0138. I purchased an upper rocker assembly and spares from them a few months ago, they may still have some. When Iron Horse went bust they bought up all the spares from the distributor so they should have most things.

As far as I'm aware not many, maybe only the Aussie Nats and Oceanias? I'm pretty sure the national series doesn't count, and I don't know about the NZ Nats. Both Aussie Nats and Oceanias are always hotly contested, so Rennie would have to get roughly top 20 in both to get enough points (easier...
Although the downgrade of bars/stem on the 2011, this isnt a huge issue as they're the first thing most people would change anyway. Of more concern I would think is the vulnerable seatpost (for DH applications at least) and rims.
Also, not a fan of the DH1 paint scheme, but the DH0 looks...
I really dont like this, shame really as I'm a huge fan of the current model.
Paint is ugly.
New tube profile is ugly - Especially when compared to the back end, as well as previous front end.
Downtube protection is ugly - Why wasn't this accounted for in the redesign, rather than an...
