I was thinking that the Merckx looks the business, coming over the the UK next year, is that and average sort of price for take away sandwiches/toasties or is that sort of a flashier sort of place? If it is think we will have to look at our budget a bit harder. :ROFLMAO: I remember going to...

Having had troubles with my first bike, Shimano motor, I had a list to tick off with my next ebike. It had to have a Bosch motor, reasonable size battery (625 or more), alloy frame, Shimano running gear and brakes as I have spares and are familiar with them, Fox suspension, same again, know how...

Shitmano motors CAN'T be repaired and they don't sell ANY spare parts for them either, but I think you'll find that most if not all of the major brands cover their motors AND batteries for 2 years if you buy them new and are the original owner. I think that the motor is the weak link in most...

Thanks Rusty, will look more into it. Who did you buy the damper from, straight from Fox or a third party vendor?

Have a set of Fox Factory 38s at 170mm travel on my 2022 Focus Sam, it's coming up to 2 years old and although the forks have been serviced around the 1 year mark was thinking of trying to buy the new X2 damper at 180mm and fitting them up. Wondering if any of you have already been down that...

G'day from down-under and welcome along to this fantastic resource, so much info and things to learn on here, enjoy

All the best to your young bloke and a real bummer it's not televised as it looks an awesome track, I believe that the world champs will be there next year so hopefully they are televised. Guess I'll just have to look on youtube after the weekend to see some footage of it, you'd think in this...

WOW, what a track, when are the Euro Champs on and where can you watch them live?

Got home after 4 weeks in the outback on holiday, excited to watch the Les Gets downhill only to find that STAN SPORT don't have a full replay, just a 17 minute highlights package, with no practice, no juniors and NO WOMEN, WTFFFF. Why do I pay for such a shit service... hopefully it will go to...

Yeah can see that about the front wheel but would only really be a drama when climbing, as I'm into heading down the hill as much as possible, it seems to be better. As for tucking in for wind resistance sounds more of a road/tarmac thing to me ;)

After watching the first few downhills for the year, just wondering if anyone else out there is intrigued by his 75mm rise bars. Ok so it does look like Dakotah Norton is riding a Raleigh Chopper from the 70's but hey, he's pretty well up there in the standings with the best of them at the...

Look for some videos on youtube about "tipping" the bike in whilst cornering while keeping your body upright, weighting the outside pedal, seems to really help me with those side knobs on the tyres, that never used to wear out, actually doing some work. I think the other name the call it is...

Amaury's run was epic and will go down as a historic win with that time back to 2nd, I do feel a little sorry for Dakotah as his run was also epic, (go the Chopper handlebars) just not quite as on the edge as the winning run and he said as much in an interview with Wyn afterwards. Also really...

This is exactly why we don't ride road bikes, wouldn't have happened with an emtb :rolleyes:

Thanks for the replies fellas... Yeah figured you would be reamed for food and drink let alone accomodation anywhere where there is skiing in the winter, riding in the summer plus the lifts as well. Worked in a restaurant halfway up a mountain in St Johhan in Tirol Austria back in the 80's and...

If your after a full fat, dual suspension bike I wouldn't think anything new, might get something 2nd hand tho?

That's excellent news and stoked you have told me that they are on the Saturday nights live as the Sunday night thing sucks with having work easrly the next day. I then have to try not to look at the results on youtube at morning tea and lunchtime so me and the Mrs can watch the replay on a...

Anyone been to watch at Les Ges downhill in previous years or planning to go this year? Got my long service leave ok'd for 2025 and planning to try and go there to spectate and soak in all that French atmosphere. Probably be in a campervan so any ideas about free camping around there too would...

Or if your in a country where they drive on the LEFT, move to the left and let you pass on the RIGHT, which of course, is right :ROFLMAO:

What I'm really missing from the world cup coverage this season is there is no Fox and Jordie vlogs, anyone know why that is, cutbacks? $$? Loved watching them faffing with all the settings and how much all that stuff mess with their heads, real or not, and how much those Fox guys put in and the...
