In 6 - 10 months I am hoping to be in the market for a child trailer for my twin boys. Hopefully this will give me more time on the bike or at the very least mean my riding time is a break for my partner. I would love to use child seats and get neck rubs and sing songs as John Tolhurst once...

So as some of you will know I have recently become a father and have less time to get on the bike these days, and when I do I keep my rides relatively short so partner is not left with twin boys for a overly extended period. Previously my rides have been about 1 hr ideally once a week but...

So I am thinking in about 18 years when the kids are all grown up I might be able to enter the Indian Pacific Wheel Race.

So I have always liked the idea of a low Jack on my bike for the this project looks pretty decent https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1851162219/magpie-the-smartest-truly-global-gps-tracker-aroun/description

Some good tips over here https://nsmb.com/articles/compendium-best-tubeless-tips/ Seriously thinking about making a fire extinguisher inflator https://nsmb.com/articles/build-your-own-tubeless-inflator/

2x 5L dry sack with shoulder straps. I am not sold on cross loading a pretend carabiner will probably go with a reusable zip tie or other strap.

So I am naturally pretty lazy that is I used to ride often and long distances but pretty lazily. These days my available times to ride are diminishing so I am trying to increase the quality of my rides. Often I can convince myself to ride hard for an hour or 2 knowing that I won't have to worry...

Anybody else use precious riding time upgrading or reinventing / reimplementing forum ideas as an idea suddenly becomes clear just before or just after starting a ride. I say this as I have little time to ride these days unfortunately. Although today I did get a fairly decent ride in and spend...

So I like most bent riders have accepted the UCI will never relax their standards on what they consider to be an acceptable bicycle to compare to past racers. Unfortunately without pro riders that can dedicate their life to training even Rojo, Jim and Maria can only get so far. Here is what I...

So this weekend I needed to increase my hydration capabilities for summer and an upcoming 120km ride. So I set to work fixing my 2x topeak cage mounts. (Yes I would love the cruzbike headrest mount but shipping to Australia makes it not an option and of course the new tail box is gorgeous...

So I was actually thinking about this as I make the move to electronic shifting and looking at power meter http://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/1816/electronic-shifting-where-we-are-where-were-going

So it seems that DT Swiss 240s disc brake hub with a QR release end cap is slightly wider than the normal dt swiss hub and so the DT Swiss ratchet Quick release is not long enough. What are some other options for longer quick releases or similar, I remember some of you talking about different...

Hi guys, I was going to hijack Rojo's thread about the 24 hour record but though this best discussed in the correct forum. I am interested to hear from people going from monitoring HR to monitoring power. I understand some of the benefits but would like to hear it from you. Also what power...

On the 25th of August 2016 our child Phoenix Ian Christopher Williams was born too early at 22 weeks and he shined to bright to live in this world. On the 6th of November I will be riding in Amy's ride 125km from Bedford Park to McLaren Vale (South Australia). Now while the Amy Gillet...

So I just stumbled upon this hack to use a plastic PET bottle 2 valves some plastic tubing and a clamp as a quick and dirty pressure vessel to pop tubeless tyres into place (wish I had found this before buying 100x co2 cartridges one day after becoming extremely frustrated. Of course playing...

Any browncoats in the tribe spot the references. Running DT Swiss 240s disc brake hubs, 88mm rims custom made from acebike.com. I have my TRP HY\RD disc brakes (lusting after the soon to be released SRAM HRD's but it's probably not going to happen any time soon, even after they hit market)...

I am designing custom decals for my carbon fibre rims I am just wondering if anyone has the colour code for the vendetta yellow (RGBA, RGB, CMYK). Sure I could use an eyedropper on a photo but then there is the issue of camera etc. Thanks Barry

So as an Aussie I find Americas persistence with the I imperial system baffling. The only advantage I see is it may encourage you to ride further. When I ride a century (km) I feel pretty good but if I were to ride in miles I would still have 60km to go. Thoughts??

So I want to go with hydraulic disc brakes. Eventually when SRAM release hydro etaps and I can afford to replace my drive train that's how I would like to go but in the mean time I was am looking at my options. Road drifters are so damn expensive so I was thinking of using bar end shifters and...

This Sunday I am riding in the coast to coast in Adelaide Glenelg to Victor Harbor (120km). This event is linked with fundraising for the Smith Family (details below). If anyone feels so inclined this is my donation page full disclosure if I raise $150 I get my registration refunded. Riding for...
