I live in Denver and the riding scene is kinda lame. Definitely very xc/fitness oriented. Trails have to be very dry to ride or they will be easily damaged. There isn't real dirt here, it's all cumbly dust and broken down rock. I call this the gravel mountains instead of the rocky mountains.

Hey guys, I'm in town on vacation from Denver. I brought my downhill bike and have gotten out to Duthie for a day already. I'd like to hit up a resort while I'm here to check out the local flavor of trails.
Most of my friends in the area either don't ride downhill anymore, don't have a bike...
Good point.
Okay, change of topic. Anyone out there have Wednesdays off and care to show me around some trails? I've got a potential shuttle vehicle (reliability is a little subject) or gas money.
I'm just dying to get out and ride. This new Huffy wont ride itself.....
Thanks for the advice, anything is helpful.
To elaborate on my situation, I used to ride and race plenty of Downhill when I lived on the east coast. Last summer I went to WP a few times on a borrowed bike, and realized how much I missed dh bikes. I was bored with wp pretty quickly, and decided...
Rear shock service can range from $40 to a couple hundred, but most only need a $40 service. If you don't have a reputable shop nearby, you can find some easy "how-to" videos online to help you through it.
There are so many factors of wear on a mountain bike that it's kind of hard to tell how...
Hey everybody! I've been away from riding downhill for a few years, but now I'm back. I don't want to wait until the resorts open to get out on my new bike.
I live in Denver, and all of my riding friends are into XC type stuff. Anybody out there have good pointers on where to find some...
I have the 1st gen mountain shoes. m-300? Definitely worth getting everything fully set up. Our shop got the oven and the training, then we did shoes for all the employees who bought some. It's not difficult, just helps to have all the proper stuff. I wouldn't want to try to duplicate it at...
I did a nice roadtrip last fall for a solid 6 weeks. 3 were spent in a hostel, and maybe another week was spent with friends, the rest was camping in some sort.
I had some stretches where I would drive for 2 days without stopping. For those days I would usually sleep in the passenger seat of...
sweet ride man, I bet she's smoooooth. at first glance it totally reminds me of a beach cruiser. Then I look at the build and realize it's a real bike.
27 for a steel bike is still pretty good.
Of course it's different than your Echo, but how do you compare it? Is it better at anything, or just a tank in general?
no signs of stopping here. snow started a little over 24 hours ago and we have 16" at my house our little snow blower is about 12" tall though. this will be fun.
more pimp points gained, I dig the "normal" XTR versus that shadow crap.
I say that we should either use a derailleur that works and could be ripped off, or no derailleur at all. Not one that sort of works and can still be ripped off or bent by a stick.
packing some recently sold items to ship tomorrow, and then off to work. I watch about half a football game a year. Usually during thanksgiving, since my family's hobby is being fat on the couch and talking stats.
no, just tired from drinking in a blizzard all night. up to 22" at my house now. Might be time to fire up the snow blower, or make another vid of me falling on my ass on the trials bike in the driveway.
