sounds like a cable tension issue for the rear derailleur, likely from cable stretch. Assuming everything is mechanically sound, this would be solved by creating more tension to the cable on the...

how tall, and how much does he weigh? Adult skis are designed around adult proportions (even smallish adults), and I would be surprised if a 9 year old matched that sizing.

My understanding is that it is a small company that basically is making these to order, thus no discounts.

Now, if you are the beau of Shirley, the mousy receptionist, well then...

Any of these will work, but the draw-tite, being no drill, will likely be the easiest to install. The nature of the load for a rack puts a fair amount of twisting load on the receiver, thus I am less...

No pics on my computer, I think it is because they are linked to a non-open dropbox account. If I try to open them in a new window it takes me to dropbox and says I have to log in.

Hey all, looking for thoughts on the options for 27.2 dropper posts.

do you mean this one, or this one?

Also, search Jong.

well, if you are willing to make the detour on the way back (which adds around 500 miles to the trip). Then you totally could hit up:

AFAIK, Scarpa still changes shells on the half size, not the whole. Thus the 27.5 you have now share a shell with the 28, where the BD 27.5 shares with the 27. Factor could be too long.

was the MH shell Gore? Did it fit closer than the new shell? I ask because, AFAIK, Gore still condenses before it transmits moisture through the membrane.

If the previous shell was gore, but fit...

With all due respect, this is still a boot fit issue, and if a customer is actually being fitted, flags are likely present during the initial fitting that these issues would be the result. In...

can we totally rule out replaceable sole blocks that are rockered a bit in the toe with a rubber bottom? Seems like they would have that possibility, and it would keep the strength for the inserts...

Look, I know it is a flyover/flat state, but whatever.

Just to derail this thread further. When you say really cold days, what does that mean to you? I have found that many consider 0f to be "really cold", while others look at -20f as "Really cold". ...

anyone have any time with the Craftsman stuff that sears has? specifically the 19.2V li-ion based equipment, but really anything would be of interest.

aluminum for MTB use is fine. the real knock on aluminum is for a lack of vibration dampening. This is really important in Road biking where you are in the saddle a lot more, and the vibration of...

to stay at the same boot center on the ski, both binding pieces would be moved 5mm inward. However, getting the screws to hold in this situation would be difficult at best, so it is more likely that...

Yeah, the Diamondback Mason looks pretty interesting. I'd love to hear from someone who has some wheeltime with it.

wait, do you only get itchy wearing wool baselayers? any chance you are just allergic to wool?

Yeah, don't put em in an oven. either mosy to the shop, or do the bag-o-rice home mold

FWIW the current Yakima Rocketbox Pro 11 works without issue. It's clamps are set farther back on the box (thus putting the box further forward on the car) than any other box on the market AFAIK. ...

Consider pedals with a poly face for the fatbike. While metal pedals are grippy and great in the summer, they are also enormous heatsinks in the winter. I am looking at the e.13 pedals for this...

I would do a non-fleece synthetic warmth layer, like primaloft or it's many competitors. Down is a great stand around insulator, but it's insulation ability drops sharply when wet. worse yet, the...

yeah, bang for the buck on hydro brakes right now is with the shimano stuff. BB7's are still the best mechanical option if you were thinking about going that route.

the current T2 has a cable lock in each armature as well, so you wrap each frame to lock them up. The Holdup comes with a long cable lock which is designed to be wrapped through both bikes, and...

I'd go for something a little more subtle.

seriously, just put your garage door opener in the glove compartment as soon as you put the bikes on the roof. A simple reminder for when you get home.

Or get one of these:
HeadsUp systems...

Between the T2 and the Holdup, I would generally go T2. However, if it is going on a smaller vehicle, where the rack would stick out the side when not in use, the Holdup folds up a bit more tidy.

well the top end will be close to $9k, but the Aluminum models will start around $3k, which is totally on par with what everyone else is doing for their AM bikes.

stepups are my kryptonite

and thus you have answered your own question. You risk a real ass-sharding, and of course AIDS

dude, what are you talking about. On their website they pretty clearly list the 2 2011 models as having 142 and maxle rears.

frame is fine, shock takes more time than others to fine tune, and is basically non fixable at home. I would jump in if the price feels right
