Anyone know a release date for the Maxis Minion Plus range in the UK? Tried looking online but can't find anything anywhere.

Can anyone point me towards a bolt up or nutted 10mm axle? I can always just get a DT RWS but I'd prefer a tooled axle over the lever they have. It'd be for use on relatively thick horizontal dropouts if that matters. 135mm spacing.

I've so far found one by sixpack racing, any other options?

Tacx trainer axles maybe?

Torontocycles.com

I got one from them... It's an Allen head cap and the skewer is cromo. Have it on a dj bike no issues for 4years.

I like it because there is no big nut to smash your ankle on.

How much proper mountain biking can be done if someone lives in Toronto? eg: How close are good trails, etc

Lots of trails within a short drive. Gobs of Xc pedally stuff

Dh resort an hour away ( it isn't the greatest)

About 3 or 4 public dirtjump spots within an hour drive, plus joyride 150.

Would you say driving is a necessity? City would be London.

Well, I'm guilty of driving to ride my bike and you may as well say I live in Toronto.

I don't really know the riding scene in London, it is about a 2h drive from Toronto, surely there is trails there but it all depends on how close you move to said trails, and your willingness to ride to them.


A member in here londoncowan. He lives in London Ontario, send him a pm he's a friendly guy I'm sure he would take the time to talk to you about riding spots.

Edit: I don't use it but I'm sure you can find something on trail forks ( I don't really ride trails so I'm not much help..)

I'm looking for new handle bars for my trail bike. I tend to ride chromag stuff, so I'm wondering what your opinions are on the new BZA bars (35 mm Carbon) and stem vs the Fubar OSX bars (31.8 aluminum) and ranger stem?

I've never heard a bad thing about the Fubars. Are you looking for just bars, or bars and stem? Does the stem have to be chromag?

Stem doesn't have to be chromag. But if I go with the bza's then I'll by the stem aswell Cuz there 35 mm di

Have not ridden carbon bza bars but have ridden al 31.8. Great quality chromag finish and some nice damping built in, less stiff than renthal fatbar aluminum in the same size.

Hi all, have a 2015 specialised command post with a Sram matchmaker mount on the lever (1x lever), and converting to shimano brakes so wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a bar mount or - ideally - i-spec B adapter. Cheers!

What is the brand called with the Digital bars and stem?

Edit: Found it: Joystick
