I had an older version similar to these: http://shop.pearlizumi.com/product.php?mode=view&pc_id=43&product_id=1643863&outlet=

Mine were brown and style more like a hiking shoe, but worked well...

New in box, marked 2009 stock.

34.9mm clamp
Hi clamp
Bottom pull

purchased for a build, then went with a different frame.

$20 shipped. It is a long shot, but I will trade for a shock pump...

For me, that is what makes it fun. I take the cross bike out for a few laps when I start to get bored with my local trail.

I don't race it, but I have a Surly Cross Check that is a very versatile bike. When I didn't have a 40 mile commute, it was the ideal commuter. The frame has braze ons for racks and fenders, the CX...

Was that the one with the Tora fork? I would agree that is a fair price if it is in good shape, but probably not any higher. How are the wheels, those were the weakest stock part on mine and had to...

I bet that was fun. I would have gone up to Swiss yesterday if I didn't have to work. There wasn't really anyone to call in to play hooky for a powder day either. It must have been a good day with...

I think I'll head up there early next week and avoid the weekend lines. I've only been out once this year so far.

When I was at Cab last week there wasn't much snow, but conditions were...

Here is how it works at the services I work for.

One is a private ALS service, I have an Advanced EMT partner, we get paid 16 out of the 24 hours we work, with sleep time unpaid unless we are on a...

Last time I snapped a derailleur I rigged up SS and rode the rest of the trail. Ended up riding SS for a month before I had enough and went back to gears. I have a love / hate relationship with that...

I'm looking at getting the ProII / 819s soon, looks like the price is around $375. I can't build them for that. It is satisfying to do everything yourself, but the cost is the clincher for me. So...

I've been trying to figure this out too. The specs are gone from the website, but still in the PDF manual and some dealers' websites still claim compatibility with the 140 fork.

How many 120mm...

I probably keep a mountain bike 4-5 years, but upgrade the parts and frames during that time. I'm almost ready to add a bike for this season, but I doubt I'll sell anything.

Technique is wrong perhaps? Try to get the bead of the tire to drop down into the center of the rim. Then work on the opposite side, you may not need levers at all. I always thought my RhynoLites...

Add me in line behind monkeywrenchmoose. Are the hoses cut down?

It is starting to look better in Indiana, but I think we have a week or two yet before we can ride the trails. I'd like to get one more trip in to Rays before they close too.

There's a girl that has rode with our group a few times on a small Chameleon. Having not ridden that fame in the smallest size myself, I don't know for sure, but she's a strong rider who keeps up...

Looks like I would need a medium with Yeti's sizing. For reference my 54cm Cross Check fits great with the setback post.

I don't think I could go wrong with either frame. Particle is right, if...

Those were the only reviews I've been able to find so far. I was hoping more people got to ride around on one before they're released. Good to know I can trust Yeti on their first year models. I...

I've been narrowing my search for a FS frame for a while. I ride the usual spots near Indiana, my local trails at Winona and Franke, Ft Custer, and Brown County. We have roots, some rocks, small...

Didn't we have this argument last year about I-75?

Anyways to start the new one, I'd guess the drop in off Irishman is ~30* for the first 20 yards. The backside of south peak probably pushes...

You're probably right, the guys I met were hitting Tournament, but came up from behind the Caberfae Ski Club then around rather than dropping down off Irishman.

That trip to Big Sky is a great...

Are you sure people were using skins? While I've heard there's a few AT junkies in charge up there, I met a few people last year using fishscaled XC skis with full metal edges and cable bindings.

Despite such the late start, with the current system coming in, I think the entire state will have an opening weekend to remember.

Bittersweet did open - $25 for 1 WROD, I'll pass. Not quite my idea of a good time. Too bad I can't ski next weekend is Cab opens, but at least we'll be taking laps soon.

There's a few of us from Fort Wayne planning on going to Rays sometime after Christmas. We don't have any dates in mind, but Wednesdays generally work the best with our work schedules.

Nice job slaying the dunes. Since few of us manage to ski together in the winter maybe we should plan the midwest mini at Sleeping Bear in July.

I've never been there, but I'm sure it beats not skiing or getting your turns on the local sledding hill.

Living in Indiana, skiing gets pretty expensive. My city is doing good if we have 6 inches of snow on the ground at any point in the winter. I can get a 2 or 3 turns on the local sledding hill, the...

My hours have been changed at work. Fortunately there are no more days starting at 4am, but I now work 2p-2a, my work days rotate so I'll have every other weekend off. I won't be displaying my...

I tried that back in high school. When it grew back, it grew at an angle so it would always be ingrown.

The podiatrist made it right and killed half the nail. See the thread about having...

I haven't listened to any of Cursive's recent albums. I'll have to check them out. I can listen to most of Built to Spills albums without skipping tracks.

I've always enjoyed Chamberlain. As for TGUK, I have a couple of their records, but was always disappointed in their live show. Both times, they were too drunk to remember how to play their own...

Really? I figured Surly kept saying they'd never put disc tabs on a cross check because they have the LaCruz. I know it's not a compliant cross bike since there's no v brake bosses, but I figured...

Most cross frames don't have disc tabs. I think discs are banned from some sanctioned cross races. I've toyed around with brazing tabs and reinforcing the rear triangle on my cross check, but I'm...

I use a Dinotte 200L LED as a helmet light. Alone, it is a little dim for the trail, but perfect for a road ride. On the trail, I use homebrew clone on the bars with the 200L on the helmet, but I'm...

I'll try the alcohol trick, that was a problem, but not as bad as the fitting from the bleed kit breaking off inside the lever. The brake is off the bike right now, should be a little easier to...

After finally getting around to installing the Strokers I got from Z, I cut the hose to size and tried getting them bled. The fitting that attaches to the master cylinder broke off as soon as I...

Here is the letter sent by Brady.

I don't have anything to add, the comments in the original link say enough.

+1 for the cross check. I seriously considered the LaCruz, for the disc option, but the price of the cross check couldn't be beat. I ride it mostly on the road and gravel roads to work, but it...

dibs, pm sent.

Which line of stroker? These could work for the yeti I want.

Edit: is there anything you don't like about them?

makes me wish I had a copy of the x-ray for the guy that came when the apparently lit lightbulb that broke when he shoved it up his ass.

Our trails have widened around muddy spots to the point where the go around a different tree. In places we've cut, armored, and marked reroutes, some guys refuse to ride it and keep tearing up the...

Yes, yes you should. That way I'm not tempted by it and don't have to explain more boxes in the mail to my wife.

Not sure if it is really AM, but a couple of guys I ride with each got a Giant Trance 3. Retail around 2k, seems like a good build for the price. It rides nice, very little pedal bob, and only when...

Who needs the pinky anyway? Just cut it off.

You probably want something better, but I have a practically brand new alvio level front shifter. Took if off after a few rides on a Rockhopper.

Trail bike: Rockhopper with nothing left that was stock.
Everything else bike: Cross Check

Seriously considering building a 575 this summer even though it may be overkill for Indiana.

I just read this over on mtbr. vibes to friends and family.

The reach from the saddle to the bars is a better indicator of the right size. However, I would not feel comfortable with the top tube that close to me.
