    Pumptracks with varying elevation?

    For Sure! this is exactly what I'm in the process of building. our lines are super close so you can gap from one line to the other. just make the 180 berms large and mellow, took us a lot of rebuilding larger to get it to flow. drainage is a non-issue. but it gets interesting if you high-side...

    ESI Silicone Grips?

    we sell em at the shop, feel good, great for xc and any riding you don't use a lot of body english, but i wouldn't put em on a DH bike or any of mine. haven't come across a pair i couldn't twist on the bar like a wet noodle. a lot of the ones i see come in with the inside half twisted around and...

    The Bible of BMX

    sounds spamish but I'll back him up. MMBS is totally the mtb bible, just coming in contact with it will make you faster. bit of reading = smart riding = brappp = fun.

    ^ word. crazy stuff but honestly I'm more impressed with that super extended nac than the sloppy pendulum 1 handed version. Sick set up too

    Rock Shox Sektor thoughts

    I've been running a U turn coil 20mm on the front of my transAM for a few months now. came off a pike 426 uturn before. the sektor is a bit stiffer compared to the pike at full extension with the revised/beefed lowers. not as much as a 36, but go figure. i can say i've done smooth 20ft gaps with...

    20'' vs 26''

    I'm back and forth between them. 20 makes transitions and stuff feel bigger and is easier to throw around. it forces you to be smooth on the ground. 26 makes stuff feel smaller and is more forgiving and flexible. it will make you smoother in the air since they tend to weigh more and have more...

    Alternative to Truvative Howitzer style bottom bracket for Holzfeller cranks?

    i would not spend another dime on any tapered crankset design: ISIS, octalink, BB30, or whatever but that's just me. shimano (and pinch-bolt FSAs) are where it's at. run the truvativs to the ground and get a deore for $90ish, then enjoy peace of mind.

    Eastern Night Train

    i got 14 7/8 actual on my 09 NT, room to go shorter w/ a 1/2 link, but whatever. looks like very different frames, glad i got the 09 IMO. prob spend more time on that then any of my other bikes, I love that thing.

    Lahr Carbon Gear Box bike

    crazy... derek is my house mate, that frame is sitting in the basement right now, the carbon chainstay seperated from the alu pivot bit at diablo(?) last year. MinorThreat is right and he is busy, or that's been his excuse for not working on it. hasn't sold out yet to the best of my knowledge...

    Spinning Rebound Cartridge/Shaft?... How do I make it stop?

    still no luck? guessing you already checked but are the threads clean? stock lock-tite can get chuncky. watch out for that crush washer when you pull up on the bolt. if it gets fudged fox's are the same size and that could be the source of your original leak. good luck, you gotta have that...

    XTR cranks on my street/park/jump bike?

    I would happily use any shimano hollowtech II crankset on my jump bike, let alone XTRs. has anyone ever seen them catastrophically fail? they'll be lighter, stiffer and I'd bet if someone can dig up numbers every bit as strong.

    Help

    1. space the pads out with appropriate tool, true the rotor 2. ride the thing and don't worry about it till the pads break in 3. take it to your LBS enjoy, my nighttrain is possibly my favorite of my bikes.
