    So my cranks have just died and I'm a moron...

    Alas no. It only sheared off because I was desperately trying to tighten it yet again - I'm pretty sure the splines have been damaged since it just will not stay tightened.

    So my cranks have just died and I'm a moron...

    Managed to shear the head off the pinch bolt of my Charge Regular cranks earlier, so need to get something else sorted fast as having to tighten up the main bolt every twenty minutes is getting old. I've been thinking of going back to the 3-piece cranks that came with the bike (Commencal Absolut...

    Can someone please explain...

    What benefits Motion Control brings to a fork? I'm torn between Argyle 302s and 318s for my new fork and just don't know if the 318s are worth the extra cash - does the better model just give more on-the-fly adjustability or what? I'm not fussed with being able to tweak it when I;m out, the...

    Need a new fork for the street/commuter bike

    Aaand.. the bloody things just got sold from out under my nose. Arse. New options now include a pair of 2007 Dirt Jumper 2s, but the 20mm axle on that needs an allen key to get it off, doesn't it? I have to remove the front wheel a lot to chuck the bike in the car so that would be a lot of...

    Radiohead - Where I End And You Begin nothing like some of their more experimental atmo stuff as background music

    Need a new fork for the street/commuter bike

    The guy selling the new wheels is offering either 20mm or QR adaptors so that's not an issue... I was leaning towards the argyle for just that reason ZHendo, I know the fox is probably smoother and plusher but a street fork doesn't have to cope with small ripples nearly as much as brute-force...

    Need a new fork for the street/commuter bike

    I want to give my Commencal Absolut CroMo a late christmas present - it's getting new 24" wheels (Sun Double Tracks on halo bulb front/woodman SS rear), new brakes (Hope Minis) and I want to get rid of the POS dirt jams that are currently on it too. I've been offered an 05 Fox Vanilla RLC for...

    1:1 Sram v 1:2 Shimano activation ratio

    True, but still... SRAM >> Rollamajig > Shimano loop

    1:1 Sram v 1:2 Shimano activation ratio

    There's always the avid rollamajig to eliminate the 'shimano loop' I run SRAM, but I just like the word rollamajig too much to miss a chance to mention it ;)

    My ride style determines my buying style?

    I love my Absolut Cro-Mo to bits, it is a friggin beautiful bike to ride. No idea how it would handle with 24s but it just feels solid as hell and wants to be thrown at stuff that I wouldn't have touched on my old bike.

    3-piece crank setup help?

    Ok, I need a bit of help here. My cranks were creaking so I've taken them apart, wiped down the interface and put a bit of grease on. Put it all back together (I hope the right way!) but I can't seem to locate the bolt-on chainring quite right - the chain will be pulled completely taut at...

    How would bar ends work with either Loc-Ons or Specialised Body Geometry grips?
