    Was a premium member but unable to renew?

    I paid to be a premium member a while back and recently got an email that I needed to renew. The link in the email takes me to a page that says there's nothing to renew. I can't seem to find any links in the User CP or anywhere else, is there something I'm missing?

    laser eye surgery

    So after about 5 years of heavily debating it I'm going under the laser in 2 weeks. I have yet to read someone on this forum saying it wasn't a good idea, but I'm curious how the recovery process went. For those of you that have done it, how soon were you back on the bike. Was any part of it...

    Sea Otter video teaser

    First time shooting at Sea Otter this year, don't know when I'll have the video cut since I'm pretty busy with work but here's a teaser until then. Go to my site, www.121pictures.com and click on SOC 08 teaser. It might take a minute to load but I wanted to keep the quality up. Hope you like it...

    New build, chain broke, ideas?

    So I built up a commuter single speed recently. After putting it all together I decided to use a 48/19 gearing since I already had a Surly 19t cog. I got lucky and had an LX 48t chainring I never used from a triple set so I slapped it on figuring I'd use it temporarily to see if I like the...

    J-Drop workaround

    Is there any way to go down Backbone from The Hub, skip J-Drop and take some other trail to end up on Sullivan Fire Road? Supposed to ride a loop this weekend and J-Drop will be nothing but J-Mud. Any ideas?

    Midnight Ridazz this Friday night

    For those of you that haven't been on Midnight Ridazz its an experience. Bikers take back the streets for one night a month. This Friday is the biggest ride of the year, last year it had 1300 people and they're expecting more this time around. The loop is about 17 miles but the pace is as...

    closest riding to Paris?

    I'll be in Paris for a week starting Friday and I'll need to get my riding fix. I can always rent a bike and cruise around the city but are there any trails nearby? I looked into Les Gets but its 4 hours each way so that's out. Thanks, --Taylor

    New to SS, bad chainline ensues

    EDIT: Oops, should clarify the thread title; I'm new to SS hubs, I'm very familiar with converting a cassette hub to SS :) I've recently built up a Soul Cycles Hooligan using all my spare parts. The one thing I hadn't used before was a SS rear wheel with a freewheel. After installing everything...

    some Sea Otter pics and highlights

    Been at SOC since Friday morning. Weather was awesome Friday and sucked today; rain all morning into windy-as-hell the rest of the day. The forecast calls for 40MPH winds tomorrow!! :shocked: Here's some pics. This is by no means a complete rundown of everything, just some stuff I saw...

    Come take my Intense tires

    Someone let me know if this is in the wrong place, I didn't want to list it in Classifieds since I just want someone local to pick them up. I've got a stack of tires I'm looking to get rid of, mostly Intense 909 FRO's and DH FRO's. Sizes range from 2.35 to 3. They've all been sitting for...

    Mt. Wilson pics from 2/18

    Nagaredama and I hit Wilson for a lax ride. We usually go in a group so we can't stop and try different lines, etc. I brought my camera to capture some of the fun. Only thing that sucks is, unlike my old one, there's no manual shutter speed so some of the pics came out blurry :disgust1: I...

    Cannell Plunge first timers, bloody pics inside ;)

    Nagaredama and I did the Cannell Plunge for the first time on Sunday. It was unusual that the trail was still rideable this time of year since its usually covered in snow by November. We packed up the car and headed to Kernville. We arrived less than 3 hours later at the Lake Isabella Motel...

    new use for Sportworks rack

    If you've ever rented a cabin in Big Bear you know that you've got to take you trash to the dump. If you happened to pile the trash bag so high it won't close you might need another way to get it to the dump... It wouldn't hold so Nargaredama had to play hillbilly trash holder...
