25.01.2022 I love to bling up bikes. Especially drivetrains. #blingring #stocksucks #garbaruk #mtbspeedshop #

25.01.2022 Finally finished the Scott Gambler project last week. Super happy with the finished product. Such a slick machine. Full strip, frame blading & powder coating, then rebuild with all new parts, including building new wheels. This thing is rad! #scottgambler #sramgx #trpbrakes #marzocchibomber #deitycomponents #mtbspeedshop

25.01.2022 Just got a fresh batch of stickers thanks very much to Sime @theslapstickco These are pro. If you’re in the market, get in touch. #mtbspeedshop #slapstickers #stickemup

25.01.2022 Lockdown let your shock down? Don't be deflated during the Apocalypse, mountain biking can be a great social distancing activity. Down at the AstroLounge, we're always in a low-level lockdown anyway, so in these troubled times, it's business as not-quite usual. I'll be still keeping my regular hours, 9-5:30, and can make accommodations for morning or evening drop-offs by arrangement. Drop your bike in the door, and we can discuss the details over the phone or via email. ... All bikes will be getting a full wash & degrease. So, if you're still riding, I'm still servicing. Hit me up for A1 service & repairs. The bicycle surgery will continue. See more

24.01.2022 Anyone out of work currently, and looking for a good gig? This may just be what youve been looking for.

23.01.2022 An unusual sight these days. A selection of 26 hard tails. #26aintdead #26inchhardtail #mtbspeedshop

22.01.2022 No need for hari-kari on your Yari. Go the full upgrade and make it a Lyrik. #suspensionupgrades #mtbspeedshop #rockshoxyari #rockshoxlyrik #airspringismything #stophammertime

22.01.2022 My main man is getting a bike upgrade for Christmas. Continuing his Trek deal. Gave it a spruce up and a derailleur upgrade. Time to learn how to use gears and brake levers. #trekbikes #mtbspeedshop #littletackeronbike

21.01.2022 This makes Redbull Rampage look a little tame. Thanks Toby for sharing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQcV_5Mch-U&feature=youtu.be

20.01.2022 Gotta hand it to the Athertons for their exceptional bike skills. How many times can you hear Dan bottom out his suspension on this high speed ballsy run? https://youtu.be/DhBPFr3RRso

20.01.2022 Taking the GTs out to spread their wings. Superb day on superb bikes on superb trails. #gtsensor #gtbikes #plentygorgemtb #fangin #allthrillsnospills

20.01.2022 What a gnarly run!

19.01.2022 The most pimped up GX derailleur you ever seen. Just fitted this Garbaruk components derailleur cage. #sramgx #srammtb #garbaruk_components #mtbspeedshop

19.01.2022 It’s an open and shut case! My trusty old James Bond style technicians case that has served me so well for 15 years now is about to be retired. Well, downgraded to my second tool kit for out on the road. Stay tuned for pics of the successor. #mtbspeedshop #whatabunchoftools #biggesttoolintown #technicianscase

18.01.2022 Just got a fresh batch of stickers thanks very much to Sime @theslapstickco These are pro. If youre in the market, get in touch. #mtbspeedshop #slapstickers #stickemup

18.01.2022 Some serious old-school dual-crown fork action going on in the AstroLounge of late. #mtbspeedshop #dualcrownforks #vintagedh #oldschoolmtb

18.01.2022 Always thought travel adjustments for a dropper should be a thing.

17.01.2022 **Corona update** In these uncertain times, it is great to know that a mountain bike is considered a vehicle, and as such needs servicing. This is an excerpt from an email from Bicycle Industries Aust. "Bicycle Retail... - Vehicle (bicycle) service, maintenance and repair, Bicycle stores should not allow any customers to enter the store. - For service customers, bicycles should be pre-booked and utilise contact less transactions external to the store" So, in short, I shall still be operating as per normal, with the exception of bikes being dropped off/picked up outside the workshop. All correspondence can happen over the phone, or from the open door, whichever you feel comfortable with. Exercise is still allowed, and goddamn, they are not going to stop us riding our bikes!!

17.01.2022 Get your forks serviced!! Realistically annually. Don’t let your seals ever end up looking like this. #rooted #toofargone #crackedup #suspensionservice

17.01.2022 I work on quite a few Canyon bikes. They are great value, excellent component selection, and people love them. I love the coloured artwork on this bike. #canyonbikes #canyonstrive #zegermans #mtbspeedshop

16.01.2022 This woman. A face you just want to reverse a truck over.

15.01.2022 My ever increasing fork graveyard. #forkme #getforked #forkedup #absolutelyforked #forkingrooted #couldntgiveafork

15.01.2022 If you have been wondering what is happening with the building of the trail network in Warburton, then here are your answers, and it aint pretty.

14.01.2022 You won't catch me doing stuff like this, but glad they did with this guy. What a loose unit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OicjPcvNAqk

14.01.2022 Unbelievable track, and skills to match.

12.01.2022 Some guy at Plenty Gorge managed to wrap a tiger snake through his cassette over the weekend. Pretty decent effort I reckon. The snake doesn't look to pleased about it.

11.01.2022 Quite apt that the first bike I stuck a lightning bolt on was an electric bike. #focusjam @theslapstickco #mtbspeedshop

10.01.2022 Original ‘05 Reba Air U-turn. Full rebuild with all seals replaced and this thing is like new. These were an amazing fork. Even by today’s standards. #rockshoxreba #rockshoxsuspension #aheadofitstime #suspensionservice #mtbspeedshop

10.01.2022 The latest build project finally complete. It’s a time for playing the long game when waiting for bike parts. #tomritchey #p650b #steelisreal #mtbspeedshop

09.01.2022 Its not often you get 2 bikes like this in the same place at once. Mongoose Canaan and a Teocali, circa 2006. These were the pinnacle of Mongooses foray into MTB. #mongoosebikes #mtblove #someoldshit

09.01.2022 Yeah, I like it. About time someone started doing some decent paint jobs. Bravo Norco. #norcobikes #packingpurple #norcooptic #mtbspeedshop

09.01.2022 Its an open and shut case! My trusty old James Bond style technicians case that has served me so well for 15 years now is about to be retired.

08.01.2022 Just got my new high rise tool apartments installed and stickered up. Ready for my tools to move in. #tooltime #wrenchranch #sidchrome #renegadeindustrial #mtbspeedshop

08.01.2022 The Scott Gambler project is coming together. Just fitted all new bearings and put the frame & linkages back together. #scottgambler #dhbike #mtbspeedshop #overhaulin

08.01.2022 Forking hell!! Big week for fork servicing this week. Some classics amongst this lineup. #suspensionservice #forkyeah #manitou #rockshoxreba #marzocchibomber #dvosuspension #foxracingshox #mtbspeedshop

06.01.2022 Talk about a ride to remember. How could you ever forget!

06.01.2022 One happy customer this weekend. Just finished a long term job. Full necromancy resurrection of an original Manitou Dorado, and Rockshox Pro-Deluxe. #forknecromancer #mtbspeedshop #manitoususpension #rockshoxprodeluxe #hellyeah

06.01.2022 Friday arvo job. Having a beer, and about to G-Spec the Scott Gambler project bike. I built the wheels last Tuesday. #mtbspeedshop #trpbrakes #scottgambler #fridayarvojob

05.01.2022 Not often enough I get to send these out. But hey, they’re available. Give the gift of All-Star bike services. #mtbspeedshop #hellonwheelsisnobigdeal

05.01.2022 Intense day in the workshop today. Doing someones rear end. #intensebikes #intensetracer #rearendchallenge #japanesebearings #mtbspeedshop

03.01.2022 I've had a number of discussions with customers lately about the strength of carbon Vs aluminium. Carbon technology has really come a long way since it's early days. Here is a great video from Pink Bike at Santa Cruz bikes to demonstrate how far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5eMMf11uhM

03.01.2022 Sometimes when you hit the trails, the trails hit back. Yarra trails:1 Astro:0.

03.01.2022 This would definitely be a step in the right direction, and formalise the Yarra trails in the process hopefully. Please sign and share my friends.

03.01.2022 Old suspension can be either super frustrating, or very satisfying to work on. Often it is a delicate balance of both. #retromtb #retrosuspension #manitoudorado #rockshoxdeluxe #mtbspeedshop

02.01.2022 Fresh of the work stand. Another sleek looking GT Sensor. Just had a SRAM upgrade. #mtbspeedshop #gtsensor #gtbikes #srameagle #srammtb #upgrade

02.01.2022 There are some really nice aftermarket 1x cassettes on the market these days. On the left is a beautiful Italian example by Leonardo Factory (bravo Leonardo!), and on the right, the Polish company Garbaruk make these ultra light numbers. Both feature CNC machined 1 piece cog sets. #leonardofactory #garbaruk_components #sickcassettes #mtbspeedshop

01.01.2022 Original 05 Reba Air U-turn. Full rebuild with all seals replaced and this thing is like new. These were an amazing fork. Even by todays standards. #rockshoxreba #rockshoxsuspension #aheadofitstime #suspensionservice #mtbspeedshop

01.01.2022 So I finally got my act together and started my YouTube channel. I'll be doing my utmost to add videos of random bike related content that is hopefully helpful to mountain bikers both new, and long term. Feel free to subscribe, you can be one of my first! Starting with this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_k_trvMs4Y
