Mavic, Giro, Sidi- all pretty good choices and obviously it depends what fits you best. I have Shimano shoes for both road (old ones- R215) and mountain (M230) and like them a lot. They both are...

I have had decent luck with Finish Line Dry and ProLink ProGold...I think I liked the Finish Line a bit better, though. I tend to end up using Finish Line Wet, though. Things get a bit dirtier, but...

Two stick out to me. One was the few times I went to a pretty nice Portuguese restaurant in New Haven, CT with my girlfriend at the time (now wife). We would never go there normally, but my sister...

This week had some good beers for the first time in a while:
-Paulaner Salvator Dopplebock
-Bear Republic Big Bear Stout
-Avery Salvation

All were pretty good, though the stout was probably the...

I still have a set of Viking bibs in my closet, but I haven't ridden DH in quite a while. I used them a lot; I don't think any of the straps were still attached properly; I just wrapped them around...

Haven't ridden one, but the Ion CX looks decent. It has fender and rack mounts if that matters to you. No discs, but at least they mount the brake cable hanger on the fork. If you don't get discs,...

Between the two rims you mentioned, if you are worried about strength, the DHXs may be better. 729s are great rims, but have been known to crack around the eyelets and things like that (but they...

I agree with others not to go for the Hayes 9s. I had some a while ago and they were fine, but almost anything else made in the last few years performs better and has better ergonomics. Cheap...

If you are used to clipless pedals, it shouldn't matter too much what you get in terms of feel and getting used to them.

FWIW I use 105 pedals and find them pretty good, especially for the cost. ...

Agreed with Mike; it's not much of a difference.

I think too much is made of crank length given the small variances in length. 5mm will probably not make a difference between having a ton of...

I have not seen that model bike, so I cannot tell you for sure what you need. But, I can say that the black handled Park spoke wrench is the most commonly used (SW-0, I think). It fits all the...

There doesn't seem to be much point to me in running tubes if you are willing to buy UST tires. Buy some Stans and UST tires and try it out tubeless. If it doesn't work out, put tubes in. I have...

My Dh bike has not been used in a long time and would take a good amount of work to get in running order. FS bike is good but the rebound dial on the fork just spins and seems to be stuck at a...

Me too. I carry first aid stuff once in a while on long rides, but come to think of it I've never used it as far as I can remember. Most minor things I just wait; major stuff would be too much for...

New Lefty looks pretty neat. I used to run a Lefty Max 140 on my Prophet...I liked the performance enough, but working on it was not as fun. Bearings had to be re-seated somewhat frequently and my...

Not sure if this was posted anywhere else in here, but I didn't see it:

I think the RC just had a few different materials in the parts, but the two were mostly the same. I think I had STX RC on my first real mountain bike, a Schwinn Moab.

Gotta go ebay for that. There's nothing that I know of in the 50-60 range. Trainers start at at least twice that new.

Your selection is going to be very limited with 24" ( I assume that's both ends...?) I think you can get Kenda Small Block 8s in 24x2.1. That is a good hardpack xc tire. Maybe not the best for the...

Not that it really matters, but Armstrong never used Looks until very late in his career. He just used older Look-compatible Shimano pedals for a long time. It's not too uncommon for people not to...

Sounds good. You just gotta go with what seems good and then adjust. I think I started with a 16T and found it to be slightly too tall with 17 being good enough. King Cogs are great, just...

Seems like a lot of extra cost and complexity to basically make a bar switch work a little faster and add a few features. Unless you can tune the suspension with the computer, I am not sure I see...

Enduro also sells ceramic bearings, which are of course more expensive than MAX bearings. I am usually pretty suspicious of things coming from companies like this, but I don't see much of an...

Even though you gave some good info, it's hard to say. You really might want to try just using the 1x9 and not shifting to zero in on what will work for you, if you haven't done that already. When...

Matters are not so simple. We are not talking about a random guy in a truck full of terrorists. Resorting to that sort of example does not get at the real questions involved. This is a year old,...
