    Some buds and I are heading to Whistler for 2 weeks end of August through mid September. We're old farts celebrating our 40th's and are on the AM ticket. Most of our time will be guided rides outside of Whistler but inbetween days will be in the park. So, tyres for that time of year? Minion...

    POC Helmet sizing

    Im due to replace my Giro Xen, which has been great and I'd happily buy another, or the new Xar. But I am also interested in the POC AM lid, the Trabac. The problem is they done have a dealer here in NZ so I cant just go in and try one on. I've used Giro for the last +10 years and...

    Corsair Konig?

    Anyone here spent any time on a Konig? I'm currently on a Meta 4X for all round general bashing and while I love the performance over smooth trails in the rougher stuff its completely overwhelmed. Corsair are available over here now and I had a look at a Konig frame set in a local shop...

    My Bikes

    I've been lurking around RM for a while and haven't posted my rides, mainly because I've been too lazy to take some photos. Well, I finally took some photos today as I'm selling some stuff on a local website and thought I'd take some of the bikes in their current set up. 2005 Med Sunday...

    NOX Pedals

    Anyone here had any experience on NOX pedals? I've never seen them before but have opportunity to get some online. I cannot find a NOX web page. I understand they are made in Germany and weigh 508gms for the pair. Edit, found the home page, but would appreciate any user feedback.
