Pedals - What do you use?

After opinions on pedals.

I currently run a set of VP clipless pedals that also have a platform. They are quite heavy (I think I weighed them at 564g :0 ) and I want to upgrade. If I'm going to spend the money, I want to get something decent and light.

XT $132 and 352g. Probably my first choice, as I'm a bit of a shimano whore.

XTR $195 and 325g. Not sure if the extra expence validates the 27g saving.

Weird feeling from rear wheel

G'day all,

Having owned my Enduro for a few months now I'm starting to really get a good feel for the bike and how it behaves. Though one thing is bothering me.

As I ride along, the rear wheel feels like I have a flat tyre....

Leaky New Forks - Please Help.

Just got a great deal on some Rockshox Revelation 426 forks from the US and received them today. Unfortunately, the box and it's contents were soaked in oil. I expected a little bit of oil to seep out of the seals in transit, but it is everywhere. Is this normal for a set of forks posted OS? Could the aircraft's air-pressure have affected the fork seals?

My New Ride - Pivot Mach 4 (56k look out!)

Hey all,
Well, after months of waiting & anticipation, my Pivot Mach 4 frame arrived at the end of last week. I spent the morning building it up at BA (big props to everyone there, especially B.P.!), using all of the parts stripped from my Trance plus a few extras sourced here on the forums & from BA.

I'm stoked in the way that everything came together. All the parts bought over the last 2 years all seem to match the back & red of the Mach 4, and considering I didn't even know about the Pivots until just before X-mas, I'm even more stoked! Laughing out loud

Bicycle Security

With all the bikes being stolen out of people's garages and from events, leads me to think about bicycle security at home and in transit.

AT HOME
I have a fleet of bicycles who all live in my garage. They are all locked to eachother in some way (chains, cables, U shackles). However none of them are fixed to a solid object (like the floor or wall). Any ideas on how to store bikes securely at home.

IN TRANSIT
