HI all

I noticed my back wheel has a bit of a wobble in it, then a couple of days later a spoke has come loose, or at least thats the order I think it happened in. Coincidence?

What should I do, new wheel or should it be fixable?

How do I know if the wheel is buckled, I've taken off the wheel, tire and tube, and when i spin the rim it has a little wobble in it.. Rim is a bontrager x lite..

also, any opinions on these guys?

Thanks all!

Let me share my recent warranty experience with the big red S.

So in December I noticed a mark on my frame around the bottom bracket area that looks rather suspicious, it looks like a deep scratch so I took it to the shop where I got it from to have it looked at. At the same time I sprained my ankle during a ride and I was told to rest it for 6 weeks. The mechanic was certain that the mark was indeed a small crack on the frame, and that he was going to take some pictures and show it to the big S.

I burst out laughing when I thought this up the first time and couldn't resist sharing. First time most people will compare a water bottle to the family's jewels...

A Baptist minister, a Catholic priest and a rabbi walked into a bike shop at the same time to each buy themselves a nice new mountain bike (immediately you will realize this is a joke). Since they were all there together, they decide to take their bikes for their inaugural ride together on the local mountain bike track.

I have destroyed my XTR rear derailleur on 2012 Cannondale Scalpel and I don't know if I need to replace with XTR medium cage or long cage. The re cog is 11-36 and two ring at the front. Help!!

I converted my AM bike into 1x10, put a narrow wide chain ring,install a type 2 derailleur then shorten the chain. Riding on a rocky section, i often suffer a chain drop and ended up placing it back and ruining the momentum. Mostly riding in KC during the weekend.

What you guys suggest, chain guide or bash guard?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'll be visiting Terrey Hills for a couple weeks from next Thursday (from the UK) and want to check out some of the trails nearby. Can anyone recommend somewhere nearby I can hire a couple of mountain bikes (hard tail or full suspension)? I saw from an older post that Manly Bike Tours do hardtails, is this still my best bet or is there somewhere closer?

Hi,

I am new to Sydney so still trying to find my way around. I have a friend over from the US this week and we are looking to go for a ride on Friday afternoon (probably Manly Dam if it is open). He won't have a bike so I am looking to find rental options in/around the city or lower north shore. I have looked ta a few online but most either don't seem to have good quality bikes or will only rent for a minimum period of 2 days (we probably only need 6 hours max).

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi guys, I am after a bit of advice.
I need to replace the seals and dust wipers on my 2008 fox talas 32 forks, I called my LBS which have a seal kit to fit, however it is only compatible with the new fox 20wt gold oil. Fox says this oil should never be used with open bath damped forks (which mine are), however the mechanic says his forks are open bath and he runs this oil.

Can anyone weigh in on their opinion/experience, do i order in the older seal kits and use 10wt oil or put in the new seal kit and 20wt oil and ignore fox.

Cheers for the help

Have recently put a pair of Conti Race Kings (protection model) on the Niner, on 3 year old set of Stans rims. Beaded up OK, but they struggle to hold air for varying periods. Can be fine for a couple of days and then go down overnight. Rear went from 28 psi to 20 psi on a 2 hr ride last outing. Had no problems previously with a mix of CrossMaxs (LUST) and a tubeless ready Kratos. Sealant was the end of a 18 month old bottle. Rims cleaned prior to fitting and tape seemed in OK nick.

Any suggestions?

Don't feel so bad next time someone forgets to shout 'Track' as they come by
