Me racing in PA yesterday:

It seems like its time for me to replace the bearings in my '12 Blur LTc. Having trouble getting grease into the bearings with the grease gun recently. Many dirty dirty rides last fall and this...

Looks like I am gonna be at my current position/salary for longer than expected. Anyone know of weekend labor work for cash?

I have a truck and all the tools etc.

Painting, landscaping,...

Hmmmm. I definitely like the happy medium rear in basically all conditions so far. Luckily, we have very few climbs with wet roots across the trail.

I guess I am willing to sacrifice some...

Noticing that the BBG is definitely unforgiving in certain types of dirt. I was super stoked on dry brown dirt at one trail, but it sucks in clay based dirt at another trail over an hour away. It...

If I wasn't a hobo I would totally grab an xc as well. Someone snag these up.

And many thanks to blizz for puttin in the work.

I have a raw/matte black Santa Cruz frame. What do you guys use? Pedros Bike Lust?

I want a clean somewhat shiny look like when it was new. Not some super high gloss waxed look.

ditto....

Gotta get a DH rig!

Otherwise, Allamuchy is riding really well right now. Did a loop through Stephens and into North yesterday. So choice. Trails are in really great shape.

RIP

One of the coolest nights of my life was spent shooting the shit with Richie in a hotel hot tub in Crested Butte in 2004. Such a cool fucking guy.

Sussex County, NJ "singletrack" from last weekend :biggrin:

Roughly 1000ft high on the "Waving Willy" trail. That's actually really high in Jersey!
crappy...

Haters gonna hate.

Keep on keepin' on brother.

Anyone got GOOD PNC pavs for sale?

Probably the only show I can hit this year. Need a quality pair for the lady and I. Have a pair of 401s, but thats not under the roof and/or close enough to the...

Uhhh, thats sick. Both the bike and your shop. Can my GF and I live in it?

Shes a good cook and I will tune your bikes daily :biggrin:

Let that thing HEAL. Do not push it. Do all the therapy you can.

I broke my thumb in 2003 and never went to the doc. It sorta bothered me on and off for 6 or 7 years. Skiers thumb kinda pain....

Fuckin A! Loving the 2.35 BBG on the front. Rode a 14 mile loop on the local twisty turny bermy single track. Mostly dry dirt/gravel. This tire rails if you are on your game and focus on proper form...

Sorry if this has been discussed. I tried to search without success.

Anyway, I will try to keep it short. 3 months of Bike James core strength training program which included a few different...

Exactly. No need for front suspension with a 62er up front. With only a 12er in the back you could run like 40" of travel. So fucking ill.

Upon Marshal's suggestion I have been rocking 26" Happy Medium 2.35 on the rear for the last 200+ miles. Epic tire. As said above its predictable in the turns, but really shines when climbing,...

Is that 250 a medium by any chance? I need some adrenaline in my life this summer.

I could be down. Not exactly sure what my plans are yet. Allamuchy North rode really well last weekend. I'm assuming ringwood has been cleaned up since sandy?

I'm in for a black freestyle s/s. Looks dope.

Whew!

Its covered under my extended warranty because they was a recall on some cats!!!

Yeah fuck.

Just realized my truck IS still covered under the ext warranty I bought, but the cats aren't covered because that falls under "Owner Maintenance Requirements."

Wut? How the fuck do...

So how fucked am I?

2008 Ford F250 5.4L. Rattling sound > rattling got better > CEL came on last night code reads cat issue. Seems like the fucker crumbled and is blocking some flow on the...

up.......

and a million other threads in Sprocket Rockets?


I would love to rep the mags while racing XC this summer.

Ok, so long shot here.

Long story short in Feb 2011 I got in a bit of trouble with the law and my vehicle was seized by the man. The truck has been in a CHP lot in Marin since my arrest and for...

High Roller II + Happy Medium

Pretty frickin cool.

Real bike parts and tire tracks!

Reppin' the small NJ contingency.

My bike is f'ing DIALED. Really not much else I could do to make it any better.

Trails have been slop here for months. Last winter was dry, but its been wet...

No doubt, I started week 5 yesterday. All the meatheads at the gym look at me funny, especially when doing TGUs.



Yup, I work with this juiced up meathead who sprays his clothes on every am....

I think I finally found a good urologist. He thinks I may have a urethral stricture. Gonna get a scope inserted into my dick. Doesn't that sound fun? :eek:

Yup, pulled the trigger on the bikejames 12wk dumbell strength training course. Did my first workout today. This is the kinda core work I was looking for.

Only had time for one trip to the gym last week. Heading there now.

I did a little over an hour. 15 elliptical warmup > 30 mins of leg presses, curls, db shoulder presses, chest press, tri pull...

Ummmmm, no. If only actual disabled people filed then the system might not be quite so broken.

Don't get me started on all the "disabled" people you see in line at walmart scooting their lard bag...

Oh shit. No way I can get 4 days in the GYM and 5 on the bike. Looking like 2 gym, 2 bike max.

I am hitting the gym today after work and if I feel totally insane I will do a long road ride...

Damn....there is so many different exercises that I don't even know where to start.

$60 really worth it for an 8-week MTB specific course from MA?

I don't have a set schedule of races yet. I think I will check out some short track races in the spring, whatever else in the 20ish mile range in NJ/PA, Mooch Madness again (it was 26 miles last...

I plan to do 4-6 races this spring and summer starting in late March. I just joined a gym for the first time in 10 years. I plan to be on my bike (mtb and road) at least 6 hours per week, but with...

Selling these for a co-coworker. I have the same exact ones and they are really great shoes. He needed a large size so he got them shipped from Germany and somehow accidentally ordered two pairs....

Word. Apparently I can run my 2012 Santa Cruz Blur LTc as a true 650b. Fuck! I thought I was done buying shit!!!!

Good links:
...

Anyone doing this? Anyone know of a comprehensive list of forks that this works with? I am running a 2012 Fox 36 TALAS RC2 FIT.

Assuming a 650b wheel fits my fork, is this worth it, or too...

Yeah, only problem is my fucked up hand. Unfortunately I think I may be out of the construction game until I get my shit thumb fused.

Any leads anywhere in north or central NJ? I am working with a...

I hear you. Since living in NJ I have deluded myself into the belief that MTB is better than skiing. It gonna be 55 today and I am about to head out for a nice long ride.

BUT, I did have a dream...

Had surgery for the 3rd time on 10/5/12. Doc said lets try removing the scar tissue and serious PT again. Post-op doc said he took out "enough scar tissue to make an entire extra thumb," and I...

Still looking for extras. Where are the lottery hoarders at?!

3 urologists and 75,000 urinations later and I still have no diagnosis. Finally found a good pcp and she ran a ton of bloodwork and a urinalysis. Bloodwork came back all healthy but with low...

So close, yet so far away.

Whose got my extras?!?!?
