Look at em go! http://bicycling.com/blogs/mbword/2010/09/01/world-championships-return-to-mont-sainte-anne/

Like has been said, clean is more important than "freshly lubed." I never lube my chain right before a ride. After every ride I wipe down or wash my bike, then I apply chain lube and wipe off any...

You're not on Strava so don't sweat it.

Ride the Brand Trails cluster in Moab and the 18 Road area of Fruita. Both of those networks are fun for advanced riders and square one beginners alike.

You kinda shoulda just stopped and smiled at him.

Sounds like you did the correct procedure for an open bath Fox (except the part about the Enduro seals :)), which you may very well have.

Without looking at the Fox oil chart, 160 ml seems like a lot of oil for the right leg of a FIT fork. That seems like the correct amount for an open bath fork, and after you change the oil in an...

Sounds like Joe Graney is talking about you?

"If you can't tell the difference, then why do you care?" Seems like a reasonable statement to me...

Copper Harbor is insane, but it is very far north (ie. like 6 hrs north of I-90/94.) Also, that area generally gets like 300" of snow and this year most of it has come after new year's. I don't...

Personally I think it's pretty cool that he'll be lining that thing up with kids from Park City HS on carbon Scalpel 29ers, probably get smoked, but having a smile on his face the whole time. ...

Maybe not a tearjerker. But, I think you may be missing the point.

Asking his parents for any financial help whatsoever wasn't even a remote option for this kid.

Something tells me most of...

Cool story about Phinney.

Here's another cycling tearjerker story, with an image taken from SLC' s East High School Mountain Bike team's website.

This kid starting riding/racing mtb's last fall...

I wouldn't buy a surf board in Salt Lake City...

I put 1700 miles on a Contact Switch last season. My cartridge did unthread at one point mid season. I just cleaned the threads up with some rubbing alcohol and reinstalled it with blue loctite. ...

My guess is that it was crazy cold outside. I've seen tons and tons of weird breaking of plastic and metal binding and boot components when the temps get down really low...

Could be.

I seem to remember the first Marzocchi crown/steerer/upper assembly's that didn't use pinch bolts on the lower crown had that kinda M shape to them (the lower crown.)

It's probably...

Old Boxxer stanchions were 32mm. Newer Boxxers have 35mm ones. I have no idea what/who concocted that. My guess is it's a one-off that someone at Fox did.

To me, the lower crown looks like a...

St. George or Las Vegas, unless you have a snow bike.

Google Salt Lake City inversion.

^^^ This.

Also, when you get up over 1000 lumens you can make it particularly harder for other riders in front of you to see. Like, in a dangerous, shadowy way.

300 lumens on the bike and...

I've never heard of Magic Shine before, but after looking at some of those images of 'em why not just buy a halogen truck headlight and strap a car battery to your downtube?

Just ask the family to pay for your travel to Lake Tahoe and give the lessons yourself, under the table.

Congratulations?

A Thermos or two of Campbell's Chicken and Stars soup is one of the best ways I've found to replenish your sodium during long races. Tastes super good, you can drink it right from the thermos, and...

Sounds like you may have the zip up version of the Sabre, not the pullover?

They only made the pullover version for one season (11-12). They did not make very many and it was discontinued. ...

Your forward pressure is probably too low. The forward pressure indicator on the FKS is irrelevant. See a tech who works with them all the time.

Otherwise, I'm inclined to think it's the Indian,...

Um, it isn't 1993 anymore. The materials used to shoot those liners has changed quite a bit in the last few years. Much softer density foams, and can yield a very comfortable fit.

But you're...

Get a moderately low volume boot with a larger than average toe box (Lange RS or Rossignol Experience 130) along with a Sidas Conformable Foam injected liner. This should accommodate the lowest...

Lange and Rossignol both do not make boots with a 95 mm last. Their production race boots have a 97 mm last and their "plug" race stock boots feature a 92mm last.

Often times skiers lose their...

FKS 140's do indeed have some ramp angle, although a little less than I would have guessed...

You know, there's a difference between all-time records and annual averages, right?

This thread is full of nonsense...

Huh? I remember 10-15 years ago when the cat operation was still in business up at Irwin and they were claiming 400-500 inches annually. I also remember that with the exception of '07-'08 and...

From Glademaster's comment that the 180 can be set up with 0, 2, or 4 mm of ramp. I don't see how a binding could be that adjustable without heel shims (unless he is claiming that Rossi is supplying...

To the best of my knowledge, Sizzler is correct. I have always been under the impression that the 140's have a small amount of ramp angle, and the 180's have toe piece shims included with them with...

The widest I have personally seen would be the new Duke. Also, MFD Plates have a super wide hole footprint.

There are differences between the skiing in New Hampshire and the Northern Rockies beyond total annual snowfall.

Not the same as comparing the skiing in Ohio and the skiing in Indiana.

This place in SLC is amazing and I use it every couple years to find something weird. Looks like they have a location in Idaho Falls as well...

Yes, just the correct race.

Lets see some pics from today..

Volkl has two new skis coming that are a 5 pt (?) design, with a combination of rocker and camber and maybe some tip and/or tail taper. Waist widths approximately 114mm and 124(?)mm. That's all I...

99% of the time a 25 and a 25.5 share the exact same liner as well as the shell. The difference is that the 25 will have a slightly thicker stock insole. So any difference in the two sizes will be...

Yes, Rossignol and Lange still very much use those plates.

If you rout the tops of the lugs back down to DIN spec, they can be used on other boots as well. I have performed before and after tests...

Rossignol and Lange are using those exact plates on several of their boots right now. Are you saying they're only "sort of " ISO compliant?

The heel piece says ISO right on it.

Those will work great for boot packing on ridgelines and using in touring bindings like Silverettas. They'd also work great for drinking beer in parking lots. But for use in alpine bindings you...

Harts, huh?

Ask the Rep why they didn't put the line on the ski where they thought they would work the best.

who's using am Ardent tire and why?

Not me, cause I genearlly like bigger side knobs, so I use BBGs if I want a fast rolling tire for drier conditions or High Rollers if I want a little more grip...

How 'bout a BBQ, a keg of beer, and about 15-20 friends?

Could work, especially if it warms up this week. Just be careful...

Brand new Eira Authority ski jacket. Never worn, but tags have been removed. Lightly insulated, totally waterproof ski jacket. Size medium $100. plus actual shipping....

My mistake. Just doing my part to spread some more of that good ol fashion internet misinformation :).

I don't know every ski out there, but the only two skis I know of that truly fit the OPs request (5 pt design with titanal) are the Rossignol Super 7 or the Armada JJ AK. Most these other...
