The best forks have the gold on the inside. No gimmicks or marketing, just flawless performance.

A bit of an overhaul for me old mate SID. I had a set of these when they were new back in 2000. Switching from a Judy, it was amazing how much lighter they were. These ones will live on in a retro collection.

Does your mechanic do repairs? Or do they just replace things they can't fix, or don't know how to?? Yes, you can service and repair your brakes. You probably don't need new ones.

This thing is the most amazing work of art I've seen from a big name company for a while. Will it just be a concept bike, or will it make production? Let's wait and see.

Canyon's Lux Era 32" XC concept bike introduces aerodynamics to the cross-country conversation with wild biplane wing handlebar!

This is just too funny. Bikes have seriously come a looooong way. This is for those others who came from this heritage.

A bit of DIY improvised bracket making I did recently. Best use of crappy cheap Shimano rotors.
Tools used: hacksaw, Dremel. No drill required.

LOOKING FOR A NEW WORKSHOP!
Howdy folks! Due to an unexpected move, I am urgently looking for a new work space that I can use for my bicycle repair business. After 3 years of working from home I need an offsite workshop.
I’m looking for: An affordable work space that has power and water, good light and easy access.
Size: 50-80 square metres.
Location: Preferably Tugun, Currumbin, or Palm Beach.
I have good references and have been a professional bike mechanic for over 25 years with 18 years self employed.
If you know anyone that can help, even in the short term that would be appreciated. I have a young family and need to keep the business working with minimum upheaval.
Thank you, and a big THANK YOU to all of you who have become loyal customers.

For years I've been servicing the suspension other operators don't want to touch. I've serviced brands you've probably never heard of. I've just done a full rebuild of the Suntour Tri-Air2. One of their high end shocks, and a very decent piece of equipment.
Need your suspension serviced? I've had 25 years experience.

Happy new year! The year of the Fire Horse. New year, new tyres. Let's hope yours is a Goodyear!

I recently had another TV appearance, on the hot topic of E-bikes. There's lovers, and haters, so I posed the question "what's the solution".
Here's the link to that post.
