Full Suspension 29er
Hey
I'm looking to buy a Full Suspension 29er. I've ridden the GT Sensor and Giant Anthem.
They are both great bikes and are both around $3000.
Are there any other bikes I should be looking at?
Does anyone have one of these? What do you think?
Thanks
Tony
Reflectors get you big air!
Wow, check this out.
Seems some bright spark has come up with an aerodynamic reflector design that helps riders (OK - mostly DH riders) get big air over jumps. They work in the same way as airline wing to generate lift and let riders fly!

question on helmets
Hi all,
question on helmets. was told by a guy at the LBS that helmets should be replaced every 5 years or so as the foam in the helmet degrades over time. therefore it's ability to absorb impacts reduce. Is that the case or are they just trying to sell me stuff?
thanks
Fork rebuild
Just had my fork rebuilt and wow what a difference... Fork has compression once again and MUCH more responsive, absorbs all bumps better then it ever has. Ended up doing all bushings, dust wipers and seals. How hard is it to do myself because it took two weeks turnaround!! and an arm and a leg to pay for.
Thanks.
Mojo bottle cage help?
What do other Ibis mojo riders out there do for a bottle cage? I know there is a spot for one under the down tube but its hard to reach while riding and it also gets alot of dirt/ mud on it from the front wheel so its not an ideal spot.
People will tell me just to use a hydration pack which I already do, but in long events such as the dirtworks i'd like to have the camelbak for water and a bottle for electrolyte.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Replacing Stan's
I have had my tubeless tyres on for around 6 to 9 months with just a very small top up of sealant before the Fling last year (through the valve). I assumed that it would be completely dried up by now but to my amazement I have just removed the tyre and there is still a large amount of sealant in the tyre along with a very strange little latexy creature.
DH Hardtail VS Dually
Hey,
I been dabbling with a XC on DH tracks and ready to step up an buy a DH specific bike but wanted some input from others with DH's as to what peoples opinions are on whether a hardtail or dually is best for tackling DH trax...
A mate swears by Norco's but visually i tend to like specialized and giant frame designs, from what i've been checking out on ebay, same mate also swears by triple crown forks, should i opt for these with my first DH...?
Cheers.
Riding with a shortened chain
Guys/Gals,
Need some advice,
I twisted a chain link yesterday during a Manly Dam ride. We removed the offending chain link and one other so that we could reassemble the chain and continue on the ride.
There appears to be no more bent link and the bike is running as smoothly as before.
Do I need to replace the chain immediately or can I continue as is for a little while? Can I just get two links and add them to the chain? Am I likely to damage anything by doing this?
Thanks
the family comuter
If MUNI was not enough, I have now finally gotten the whole family into riding. Somehow with me at the helm I think I got the raw end of the deal. Second seat for wife, third for 6 year old daughter and trailer for 4 yo.
