They were my favorite XC glove. Since living in Yurp I cannot seem to find them anymore besides sketchy sites and Amazon..Yes, I like 'em, thanks for the suggestion.

I had to get mine from the UK as there were none in Oz.
Matt Gardiner MX was the shop.
Laced up a Spank Vibrocore rim on the back after running Dt swiss for a long time. I get deals on Spank gear so switched, hesitantly. Got to say those foam filled rims absolutely do dampen trail chatter. The tracks i ride a lre rough chundery and at speed. Instantly i noticed it and was genuinely suprised. No dings after 2 days at Maydena bike park
When Dharco started they used to make pretty reasonable gear at ok prices. Geez success seems to have changed that.
That impressive. I had a mate write a brand new wheel off in one run down Tea Trees
Gotta catch their year end sale or whatever it is. I got a bunch of jerseys for something like $30 each a year or two ago.
I'll put someone's foot through them and snap their foot.
Modern bike.
I purchased a rebuild kit last year for my KS Lev Integra and last night I wanted to rebuild it. Unfortunately, the 7 pieces I ordered wasn't enough. I ordered another handful of parts last night, this time from Modernbike.com. I went to do a full disassembly of it today and found out half the parts I ordered last year are for a different version (?) of the Lev Integra? Pissed off, I sent Modern Bike an email today (on a Sunday) to see if they can cancel my order since the parts are going to cost more than a new post at this point. Within 7 minutes they replied and canceled my order with a full refund. That's great CS.

Slik Graphics-
I was ordering some decals for a new ride. I realize they price things based off of what "item" you're ordering. Fork decals $30, wheels $35, etc... I reached out regarding a product and "E" got back immediately with a resolution. I don't wanna go into all the details.
Saving time and money are what I'm about and that's what happened thanks to her. Again, another email response within several minutes. But this one was from across the Atlantic. Impressive!

Last I checked (a couple years ago) KS posts had to be sent to their California location for anything more than a clean & grease.
Yeah, Slik is always great to deal with. Most of my bikes are built up from a frame so it's nice to get matching fork graphics to make it all look OEM. They are very easy to work with to get everything to match correctly.
Weird, unless it was the cartridge (a sealed unit) most shops down here dould do a full rebuild on those.
I know we had the parts on hand to do it to almost the entire range of what KS have produced over the years at my old shop that I sold about 2 years ago.
Parts were more readily available for me than pretty much any other brand (Rockshox a close 2nd).
Maybe for a hydraulic service? Idk. But they have a lot of parts you can purchase to rebuild yourself including the whole piston, brass bushings, nylon bushings, DU bushing, sprag clutch, etc...
Yeeew, dumb luck is what's right with the industry.
Got a bit worried after seeing this with a Force chain on Reddit-
But it fits the Uberbike NW ring.

lel the chain has fatter pins or whatever so it doesn’t fit normal valleys of regular chainrings unless they are specifically designed for axs. As the chain stretches, it fits regular rings. Same thing happened to me, now my axs chain fits my Easton ring, new it doesn’t
Edit: wait how is this what’s right with the industry? SRAM made their chain like 6.4mm wide instead of 6.3mm wide for REASONS and now it’s not compatible with anything else.
Because the lizards were outsmarted, probably by mistake, but it still counts.
I will have a look at the chainring, it's hardened steel and has maybe 1500km on it so it shouldn't be worn much.
Improved = two positions instead of 3.
Nah.
This re-design is still 3 position but one can be locked out.
Definitely an improvement.
And they chose to re-design it this way this from LISTENING to customers!!! FUCKIN GENIUS MOVE!
it's also been redesigned so it will fit different posts just by swapping shim kit.
it's been lightened/refined.
and designed to fit oval saddle rails (if that's your thing)
I have two of the OG switchgrade Alixpress copies.
One is on a 29" 170mm FS enduro bike where I'll admit all 3 positions can be handy (although nose dipped is still the least used position by quite a way). The other is on a 26" 4X hardtail which I absolutely NEVER use the dipped nose position on but it can sometimes be chosen unintentionally when swapping from nose up to the mid position while on the move.
I stand corrected!
Pidcock’s new team’s oligarch is also the $bag holder for Pinarello at the moment. One year left on the Scott Contract for the road team.
Scott's aero road bike is the best in the biz. The lightest and among the most aero. Both lighter and more aero than Pinarello's bike. Here's mine below the minimum UCI weight. Most of the pro's bikes weigh at least a pound more.
that's cool and all but have you followed the money? mickey's comment about the team owner also being invested in pinarello is something i've heard elsewhere too. teams like that it's rarely about who has the best bike but who is gonna pony up for the budget.
