Biggins,

Go check out Fort Rock in Exeter. One of my favorite places to ride - I used to hit that place 2-3 days a week after work when I had a client up that way. You know I like technical, so...

VT is out, so there is no need for me to be awake right now and my other buddy who was going to meet us could use some sleep so I we are meeting at Nam at 10 now. Sounds like this wont work for your...

Awesome. Wendys 8am tomorrow then? Might be +1 as well.

I'm flexible - Sweede if you can do Sunday I can do that too.

Yeah I'm in - shoot me an email. 9am again?

Thanks for coming out guys - sorry about the flats - that place eats Specialized sidewalls for breakfast.

Lets try and do that again, in daylight, on a weekend, with beer to follow.

Maybe some 'Nam is in order Saturday morning? I could also do Sunday any time.

We are most definitely still on tonight, and the trails will be nice and dry. See you all at 5 - PM me if you dont have my # and need it.

Clutch Control 2.3 Front, New Ground Control in the RR and I've got a Butcher Control in the hopper for the front when the Clutch goes.

There's anywhere between 3 and 6 so far, PM me if you want in.

Weather looks like it should be clear for the evening. Trails dry out really fast, but the whole place could...

This was back in the mid to late nineties and there was no formal EP plan from shimano or any of the major manufacturers as far as I know. This was a large shop in the early golden days of mountain...

Yeah, I have spent a lot of hard earned cash with Pricepoint from '98 to present and never once had an issue. I used to buy from them when I worked at an LBS because I could get better prices on...

I thought <$2K with a shock is a bargain for that class.

I wonder how that geo would compare to the stumpy evo...

Ok, so Biggins and I are looking to ride Needham Wednesday evening next week, 5pm should give us enough time to hit all the goods, any later and we may want to do lights. Shoot me a PM with you email...

The new Banshee Rune has my attention.

Anyone interested in Needham, MA tomorrow at 5pm?

Nice! This makes me want to get out and ride nam.

Im riding needham both days this weekend. Im pretty flexible so you tell me what works.

Flows for sure.

Alright, standing invite to all the tough guys / quadzillas to join me for a ride at my local spot in Needham. Ill either be validated or degraded. Either way it will be a good time. Must like rocks...

Yeah my riding style back when I had a HT was the same. FS changes the game (or it did for me) - one of the biggest benefits is being able to put weight over that rear wheel and let it track over the...

You nailed it - cadence means everything in this conversation. I also sit/spin a lot of climbs for the traction vs. mashing out of the saddle.

When I had the double, I ran all my favorite trails in only 22x11-34 and 32x11-34 respectively. I found that personally I would spin out of the granny as often as I would need to get off the bike to...

Definitely not (for me at least). You maybe right about some flowy or dh spots in nam but in general there is way more technical climbing for my knees to handle a 34, especially in Needham at my main...

Finally collected all the parts to complete what I believe to be a do-it-all drivetrain for southern new england and greater boston riding. I do most of my riding at 'Nam and the surrounding areas...

I might be able to do 3:30 to 5:30 and I'd be happy to show you around the other side of town where you'd be lucky to break 5mph for any stretch. Shoot me a PM.

Needham MA ride tomorrow evening anyone? Trails were riding great over the weekend and it seems the worst of the tree pollen has passed. Thinking 6pm, 1.5 to 2 hours.

I'll be doing a 2 hour ride in Needham on Saturday if anyone around boston wants to join.

Needham tonight anyone? Thinking 6 to 730pm and post ride parking lot suds. PM for directions if you need em.

The chainring is perfectly offset for a chainguide (and the g2 micro will give you all the ground clearance you want with that low fsr bb)

I'm personally going to go 28T with an 11 or 12-36 in the...

Yeah Needham TF is still garbage. Ill PM you guys with the beta. Ill be riding the area tomorrow after work if either of you want to join.

Looking to do an identical build but can't decide if I'm going to go full custom like you, or just shell out for the carbon complete bike and swap on my 2012 float 36 (at 150mm)

Regarding the...

Biggins and anyone else who rides cutler on the regular, drop me a pm next time you're heading that way after work. There is much better (and longer) riding in the vicinity, especially if you like it...

I usually go to belmont wheelworks for that sort of thing. JRA seems like they would be a good choice too but as you mentioned its a haul. Honestly, the absence of a real mtb shop south of the pike...

Yeah I'm down. If you want techie, come join in on the Saturday noon ride outside of boston. Pm me for info.

Great night ride last night in Vietnam. Nothing like sending drops in the dark while its raining to up the excitement. With all the dust the rain was acutually a welcome sight.

12pm Saturday ride,...

Nam usually dries out fairly quick and driving through milford on 495 the other day it didn't appear they got much in accumulating snow. The gb trails I spoke of are well built and dry out in a...

Been loving "endless fall" in the GB area. I do nights in Vietnam and weekend days on some of the gnarliest singletrack in southern new england, 30 minutes west of boston. PM me if you want to link...

I read through most of this thread when I started regular night riding a few months ago. I looked at all the light options, and picked up an Exposure Diablo Mk 3 on sale.

It's stupid bright,...

Anyone interested in a new years day, or monday ride 30 minutes west of boston? Happy to share 90-120 minutes of uninterrupted, leaf-blown, technical singletrack.

Thats all I needed to hear, Im going go 1x9 for now and maybe upgrade to 10sp next season.

Also, I just came across this crankset which might make a good platform for either a 28T or 30T front...

Im toying with switching my 6" trail bike to 1x10 (11-36 x 32t). If you ride around greater boston, you know what the trails are like. We're not going anywhere fast and there's little risk of running...

I need a fork to throw on P2 budget build for pump track / light trail. Looking for stuff like Uturn Pikes, Sektors, Marz 4x, or basically any older Float I can lower.

Will probably get in a couple rides at Vietnam this week, usually leave the parking lot at 6pm. Let me know if you want to venture that far out.

$420 shipped with a pump and lowering spacers.

Its really plush, and crazy light but I dont know why I thought I would be able to go back to a 32mm fork. Only 5 rides on it - not even fully...

Baked once, used for 4 hours, basically brand New. Buyer pays shipping and PayPal fees.

Just curious if you ever did this and how it worked out if you did.

Bump.

Formula Adapters and SLX Cranks are Sold. Demo 7 price drop. Lots of interest in the Lyrik but no takers yet.

It rules and I love everything about it. I originally built my pitch up to be 50/50 trail and lift served but I am going to be doing much more trail riding on it (100%) this season and wanted to shed...
