That's a pretty good idea Tim... think it might hose my tailgate lowering ability though.

Yeah, clearance is the main reason I got mine over the T2 4-bike tray (and it looks way cooler). It's better, but I thought it'd be a LOT better. Good to know about the taller bar option. Plus since...

Sick thanks guys. Thought about prying those tongs, good to hear you've done it with success.

Any tips/help for using these things? I just got one for better clearance off-road vs. my 4-tray Thule T2. Problems I'm having:

-The tapered headtubes seem to really get stuck in the rack. It is...

Close to being funny. But not quite there. Nice try, Bike.


As far as wheels go, we're all sick of it I think. Bikes are bikes. After one full season on my SB-95 though, I have one observation...

Mohican Wilderness is a separate zone, but close by. It's on private land and has been logged, I heard a lot of those trails got jacked and they are pretty much just mini DH lines, and you really...

Another vote for Vulture's Knob, and if you can go a little further, Mohican state park is awesome 26 miles of singletrack.

Yeah but you can ride every month of the year. That's going to be the coolest yard ever CS.

Nice W. Any word on dates?

See other post for other responses. But this one... sport wagons eez what Germans do, mang. Just because it's a wagon doesn't mean it doesn't handle like a sports car.

Yes Chup... serious.

Getting as close to 50/50 front/rear weight balance is a huge part of what makes a car handle well. But point taken on raised wagons. However, passengers and roof boxes sit...

Just FYI, a hitch on a well-balanced car like the Audi will throw off its front-rear weight ratio pretty badly... deteriorating handling and well, kinda negating the point of a car like that. I'd...

Yes and no. I still think 26" is more fun from a pure riding perspective. But I love racing, and 29 gets me there faster and with less fatigue/beat-upedness. So I've been riding the SB95 a lot....

First bike I have been really excited about in a few years. Can't wait to get mine on order! I send my SB95 over every jump I have on my Mojo HD. And I'm only 5'10". Crazy talk!

Just head up to the top of the Aves and jump on the trail. Terrace Hills or top of I Street, 5 mins from downtown. TONS of trails, and yes all snow covered.

4 weeks in to DB Combos now, core is feeling great.

I did the DB Combos two seasons ago with good results. Doing it again now... easy to do at home with limited time, which I like.





Thanks man, good stuff. I think gel packet taped to the...

What about the Enduro? Doing that again this year?

Another vote for Goose and Grafton. There are some fun XC trails down by Red Cliffs campground if you want some lower elevation (warmer) pedaling.

Oh there is always plenty of beer involved, not to worry.

Kind of an incoherent rambling interview but there are some nuggs in here from Cruz and Weir:

On a related note, with some of the really long days in the saddle with enduros, I really started to hurt last year and dealt with cramping, and just general physical suckage. Any recs for building...

Hah all good, I think the pano makes it look higher above the smog than it really was.

WTF Crest? Are you smoking crack? :)

Shoreline, Saturday.

It's now late January and I still have no idea what to do with my racing bicycles. Crap. Anyone want a 2011 Mojo HD size M?

The novelty snow riding isn't too bad.

But, no.

What's up you bunch of fucking beaters. ;) Been too long since I dropped into Tech Talk, apparently.

So quickly: BD has the bootboards live now in the spare parts section (disclaimer: after...

The best days skiing are better than MTB, no question. You can float, fly, huck, and go so much bigger and faster than on a bike, it's insane.

But those days only come a few times a year.

I have plenty of friends who are Mormon, including some great people on this forum; it's not that they (or the missionaries walking the streets) are trying to convert me from Christianity. It's tough...

Heh, yes I do. SLC is night and day from Provo. Hell I get kinda squirmy any time I go south of about 5000 South in SLC (aside from BCC/LCC that is)!

When would you ride this hardtail vs the Trance? Which is the more aggressive bike? I think that's where you start, figure that out. If the hardtail is for more aggro riding, then yeah the Canfield...

Let's see, I grew up in Texas and drove 13 hours each way to skiing in RADo. Later, I lived in Ohio for 3 years. I stand by my statement. I'd rather live in Indiana than Provo. Draper isn't the worst...

I'm going to actually go out on a limb here, and say that I'd rather live in Indiana than Provo. Or really anywhere in Happy Valley.

Hah, we were there in September and I remember looking at that hillside above Lahaina and thinking what rad mtb terrain it could be. Nice. Good luck with the venture! I wanted to ride when we were...

That Bandit 29 is rad!

Couple of iphone goodies from Friday after Thanksgiving...

Tuadog ventured down from the high country for some SLC...

Oh the fun times of enduro bicycle choosing.

I added a SB95 to the stable last year on a whim, after geting sick of being smoked by guys on 29ers on Super Ds the previous year or two. I figured...

Unclear depending on wife's level of sleep deprivation, but I'd be into a Trailside/PC DJ afternoon if I can swing it.

Yeah they completely rebuilt the PC DJ park a couple years ago; been meaning to get up there to ride it but it's just so hard to drive up there when I Street is 4 blocks away...

Are you sure that's not a Kona Humuhumunukunukuapa'a? Regardless, I'm getting one when they're available.

And a HUGe congrats to all the TGR'ers who crushed it - Joe, brettf, Mr. AG, powderwhore, and Nora! Krispy was also super stoker with his 3rd place men's podium.

Heh, same here. I was literally hobbling down that thing. Such a fun race, but damn that was the hardest race I've ever done. And I've raced a fair bit in my day.

Boring mid-pack finish for me;...

This is what I do as well. Seems to work more betterer.

^ Kyle has won the underground race a lot, and is fast as hell.

Thanks for the tire thoughts; I'm going tubeless with some minty-fresh TL-ready Schwalbeees.

Thanks joetron!

So what kind of tires are folks running for this? Anyone going full DH 2-plys? Seems silly but I think I can get away with lighter tires on Porc than I can on Dark Hollow Super D.

Yep, aware of that, thanks. I might just have to ride up from Warner and turn around when I have to head down for the meeting.

I'm a little nervous about this race, but at the same time, since I...
