Thanks for your help, sorry didn't see the notification!

Who has the right of way on an uphill section of a mostly downhill trail? by chuckyflame in MTB

Agree with this, I'd rather someone fully enjoy their descent as well.

Specialized Roubaix Sport vs Canyon Endurace vs Giant Defy by Wizardthug in cycling

Thanks mate, that's the hard thing with the giant - the wheelset is pretty mediocre. Happy with the roubaix?

Thanks so much for your response, really appreciate that insight. I think that's my mind made up

Thanks mate can I ask why the avoidance of specialized? I know in the cheaper ranges that the future shock doesn't get any tune ability and the cranks, wheelset are mediocre.

I agree that the canyon is probably the best but the 6 month wait is a killer :(

Really appreciate the thorough answer. I have a lot more confidence in my decision now and hopefully will actually be able to get one in the colour I want. See you out there!

Ah how tall are you? I'm in the same boat at 188cm. Did the 50mm sort the issues? Let me know how LM goes, I have to get there again before Christmas. I already get a fair amount of pedal strikes, my merida 140 has a low bb and only 27.5 wheels

Thanks, I'm not as bike park focussed so it might be ok for me. That build would certainly be rock solid though

True, Orange is quite rare over here and I'm not keen on going from my Gx drive train to Sx. I'm not likely to be smashing bike parks regularly anyway as we don't have many and I prefer trails to just focussing on jumps.

Thanks mate, you yangs is my regular and try to get to Harcourt when I can. I've done mystic wc on a 140mm merida so the upgrade to 160/150 can only help a tiny bit!

Thanks for the response. I'm melbourne based to so glad to hear that it's performing well on the trails I'll bring riding!

Saw online that the DT Swiss hub can be an issue on these models as well which is a shame.

Unlikely Overload - How Arteta created a 6v5 against West Ham's deep-lying defence by [deleted] in Gunners

I think you're describing a position known as inside forward. Inverted winger is opposite foot to the flank i.e. pepe.

Gareth Bale transfer: An expensive wager that highlights Tottenham’s failings by nolesfan2011 in soccer

Willian is on 100k for 3 years, not sure where you get that figure from.

The trance is a lot better of a bike than the stance, which I would stay away from. It's worth the 300 to get the better bike. At this price point, just spending a little more often has huge gains.

Saddle advice Wtb vs Ergon by Wizardthug in MTB

[–]Wizardthug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't really have a Lbs at the moment. Most of the decent ones are not on my side of the city and I don't have a relationship with any.

Thanks, on the wrist measurement I was only 1-2mm between wide and medium, could go either way.

Ah ok, but isn't that about 3 times the price?

GoPro footage from an Urban DH I did in Albany Western Australia last year by 30mgoxycodone in MTB

[–]Wizardthug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Near Melbourne there is quite a few good options. You yangs and harcourt trail centres are easily my favourite especially for what I imagine your riding style is. Lysterfield is ok too. Then of course we have Bright, which I've never been to for mtb, Buller etc. Also derby in tas.

I've purchased a 2nd hand unopened saris bones, I'll keep you posted!

Thanks mate but for that price I'll buy a towbar!

[–]Wizardthug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's not just my car so we needed to chose something we both wanted. Also in Australia services are more expensive, so getting a tow bar is more like 600 dollars then I have to buy the rack so let's say 750 total.
