Selling two Maxxis Monorail Tires. 26 x 2.1 LUST. Tread seems decent, but they weren't new when I got them so I don't have a good frame of reference. $15 ea or $25/pair, plus shipping.
...

Yeah, come to Saratoga. Easy 30 minute drive. I can show you the techy trails and there's some mellow stuff nearby that'll suit your GF. My wife would probably be interested in having a newbie to...

thanks??

Unfortunately I contacted Hayes and they said they can't offer the springs separate from the pads. I know actual Hayes pads have the spring when you buy new ones, but the aftermarket pads I've got...

Anyone got some old Hayes nine pads kicking around that they'd be willing to part with the springs? (Or the whole pads for that matter). I've got an extra caliper and a pair of aftermarket pads...

scrub... looks like you're running a 1x setup on the blur? What gearing are you using? Also.. what kind of storage bins are you rocking on the workbench? I've got too much crap rattling around...

Thanks man. I actually have a bunch of o-rings leftover from a previous Reba service so maybe those will do the trick.

Well that was certainly interesting.

I connected the shock pump and you were right, the was no air in the negative chamber despite putting some in initially. So I pumped it up a bit, to about 70...

It seemed to hold air... But I didn't recheck the pressure after disconnecting the pump. I'll check that out first. Anything else?

I had my Reba 29er SL opened up to pull one of the travel spacers. While I was working on it, it seemed like the oil levels in the lower legs was low, so I added 15ml of oil to each leg per SRAM's...

I always get excited when I see a new Akrigg video is out and this one did not disappoint. Some of those moves at the abandoned building took some huge balls. Hopefully he releases some of the...

Other thing to check would be the limit screw. It's more likely that it's cable tension, but a low limit screw mis-adjusted just so would have a similar result.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the 187 length is going to make for a few interesting moments with you in the trees next year.

I dunno... Over on mtbr they'd probably tell me to just go to my LBS and trust whatever they say. But all three shops in town drive me nuts, so that's not going to happen.

Hm. Paraffin. Interesting. Never occurred to me even. Well... maybe I'll give that or the ProLink a try. Thanks all.

Anyone got a favorite chain lube? My bottle of Finish Line Dry Lube is almost kicked, which is just as well because my chain gets noisy two rides after applying anyways. Conditions have been dry...

One of these days we'll get it tracked out sooner!

I can't offer up any solutions, but my Tornado Pros suffer from the same problem. Not fun.

Seconded. No stitches for me, but plenty of scars.

Don't sit down so much and don't grip the bars so damn hard? Sounds snarky, but that's how it is.

Do you have nice grippy bike gloves? With good gloves you don't have to use as much grip...

I've only been to Moreau once, but I'd like to get back. The fact that it's infrequently traveled by others and has a long ride in/out keeps me from biking there solo. SMBA, on the other hand, is 5...

No pics, but the riding has been good here in Saratoga. After my season-ending collarbone break last fall, I think my confidence on the bike is back (though not necessarily my legs or skills). ...

No idea what your travel plans are, but if you make your way over here (Saratoga) I'd be happy to show you around Sat/Sun.

I've got 28.0 alpines if you want something less fancy. 80 plus shipping

I'll be at big K tomorrow. Orange pants plus other stuff. Pop tarts are packed. Stoked.

You ever have any issues with knobs ripping off / disintegrating? I picked up a pair (2.4 Protections) in the fall and one had a few knobs ripped clean off within ~3 rides and now that its spring...

I was reading mtbr's review of the SC Bronson and came across these comments:

"The 73 degree seat angle props the rider forward when the lever is in the raised height position and rider is able to...

In order to make biking fit in with our other plans, its looking like biking at Duthie and somewhere on the 410 corridor are the best bets. The stuff in Winthrop does sound kind of perfect so that's...

Finally got back on the bike yesterday after a ~6 month hiatus (collarbone break + winter). Went down to the local mellow trails. Linked up with a group that included one of the main trail...

It'll work, sort of. My friend built one up this winter using an old trek DH frame. He's had other ski bikes in the past built using BMX frames. He says the full suspension makes it WAY easier to...

Theoretically this should be a great fork. But it's an '09, back when Marzocchi was in transition to Tenneco and didn't quite have their shit together. It was fully serviced by Marzocchi in April...

sale pending to LeeLau

Bump for pics. Tried to show the worst of the scuffs.

I picked this thing up on ebay in the fall when I was hanging around with my broken collarbone and dreaming of the next riding season. I've tried installing it on my 09 Reign using one of those Cane...

Is the lining actually wool, unlike the paragon, which only pretends to be wool in the specs but is actually fleece in the glove?

I've got two down vests, a fleece and some of their polartec windpro gloves. All have held up great, except I did rip my first pair of gloves on a ski edge, so I went in to the store and asked if I...

sz 28 Alpines. Wrap style, just not as stiff as the powerwraps. Molded once, skied two days. $100 shipped?

Thanks for the all the suggestions. My wife let our friend borrow her Atomic Access and she was in love. So... basically just looking for those, Centuries, Charters, Alibis... whatever its nearest...

The only problem with making Magic my second home is that even while ripping at Gore in the best conditions I've seen in a long while, I still felt like something was missing. Glad some other mags...

Thanks, these are all great suggestions! I'll be doing some more digging to see which fits best with the other parts of our trip but this is an awesome start.

Saw that.. too bad, I was hoping they would get the goods. Also saw Hickory pretending they might open, how do you suppose that one will pan out?

Thanks, that's the info I was looking for!

Boy. I am anxious for the snow to start.

For the few in here who've been to Gore lately (paging mattchuck?) is there anything that wouldn't be in play with a foot of snow? I've been itching to...

Have you been out skiing since your collarbone break? I broke mine in October. Haven't been back on the bike yet and I'm a little nervous for when the time comes in a few weeks, but I suspect that...

Thanks, but price range is the only thing my friend won't compromise on. Despite really enjoying skiing, she somehow believes she'll never ski more than ~5 or 6 days a season, so she can't justify...

The madonnas were the closest so far, but still holding out for something with tip rocker and a little more of a fun factor. Thanks for the offers guys, keep them coming.

^^ Take both days and make the sort-of-quick jaunt over to Willard tomorrow night to join me for the slayingz of teh night powz!

I'm thinking I'll be at Gore Wednesday..anyone else? I owe my...

powbmps, the airbag looks really fun! I imagine the kids enjoyed it?


Had a nice weekend of sunny groomer zooming at Magic. It was a bit of a bummer that the base was too locked down from the...

Bump it up before the weekend

Thanks for the suggestions so far and keep 'em coming, especially for stuff in Washington + Oregon! Because there's so much to do around Whistler and other parts of BC, we may save that for another,...
