    Coil shocks

    Well a large shaft RC 4 was in my hot little hands till I bolted it to the reign. Got 2 rides on it so far and I am impressed. The bike is sitting higher in it travel and holding its speed better through lumpy stuff and through turns. Still playing with settings and spring rates so it should...

    The problem of managing to eat on long rides

    Sweet cherries are where's its at in the fruit world. "One of the most interesting health benefits of sweet cherries is their completely unique set of antioxidants. Anthocyanin glycosides, which give sweet cherries their deep red-almost black color, are one of them. This compound also provides...

    What's your wheel set and why?

    New Mark 3 flows, hope pro4 hubs and DT comp spokes. A big step up over the stock wheels and a lot wider and the price was right from chainreaction. Just need to work out how to cut down of the noise from the rear hub

    Kind of happy I have Shimano brakes on both my bikes as I feel I may spend more time dragging them down hill than loic does................

    hope pro4 rear hub

    You use it for 10 speed and Shimano 11 speed clusters. It goes in between the cluster and the base of the free hub.

    Strong / Light 650b DH rims

    This is what a few of the crew I ride with us http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/stylus-pp180-19mm-x-66m-strapping-tape-black-st1425 Pallet strapping tape. It is a lot like the Stan's tape but maybe a bit lighter. Super strong but will mould to the contours of a rim nicely with a...

    Coil shocks

    hi I'm looking at replacing the monarch rt on my reign. But I'm having trouble finding something second hand that will fit. And dropping close to $AU1000 dollars on a X2 coil or the like is a bit out of the question at the moment. How good are the RS kage or new fox van? A vivid also looks...

    Strong / Light 650b DH rims

    Have just had a set of the mark 3 flows built up on some hopes and comp spokes. They feel stiffer that the stock wheels on my reign that they replaced and as stiff if not stiffer than my mates 26 ex flows built up the same. I'm not to sure if I like how wide they are, as they are 5mm wider that...

    The end is nigh. Vail swallows up the big one.

    In Central Otago NZ, most the ski fields had a go at running a lift over summer. But they only tended to build one to two trails and wondered why they didn't make any money. Where as skyline already had a number of trails that had been built by the locals to plug into and then invested in more...

    New downhillers trail bike

    So what happens if you hit a bump when peddling, does it stay extended? And does the wheel base longer when the bike compress in turns?

    Random Picture Thread

    Granny's always look good running through a packing shed for some reason. And if the fruit has been in MA/CA for ten months I'm surprised they are not wearing more as it will be rather cold

    Radon Swoop 170??

    Hi my name Brent and I don't like Giants. But now I own a reign, and it is a whole lot of fun. One of the best bikes I have riden full stop. The rear shock is ok, it is plush off the top and ramps up nice with a few rubber bands in the can. But the lack of mid stroke support from the air spring...

    What trail bike tire casings don't suck?

    My SS has lasted less than 6 months, lots of cuts in the tread patten. And the tomahawk that I got to replace it with has a cut in the tread patten in under 2 weeks riding. The side walls seem to hold up fine through the rocks as all the cuts seem to be in the tread patten on both tires. Hope...

On my old shoes...

    Paring down a bike stable

    I'm 100kg in gear at the moe and on a new Alu reign. Great bike that climbs far better than any bike I have owned, the the rear end does flex a bit when pushed hard. Not sure if it's the giant brand wheel set or the rear end flexing, but a wheel up grade is on the cards to find out. Even with...

    Dual crown Endurbru fork

    I bolted them onto a hardtail I was riding many moons ago to see if I could break it. TPC plus goodness, I miss my fireflies.
