    Leatt Braces... someone had to say it

    I was extremely apprehensive about the Leatt, especially considering it's hefty pricetag. That was until a friend of mine (and a member of this board), had a nasty scorpion crash on a steep roller, and cracked some vertebrae which nearly paralyzed him. Thankfully, the Canadian docs worked some...

    Leat Brace compatibility

    661 Fenix + Leatt DBX Comp, no body armor This combo has been working very well. Even on the steepest trails where i have to look waaay up, it's not an issue.

    Pants Vs Shorts

    quoted for truth. I have worn pants for dh ever since I tried them for the first time. Just feels better to me. You are over thinking this to no end, it's like flats vs clips - personal preference.

    Concussion recovery experiences...

    my experience was something like this: Fell on my head from 10 feet up at some dirt jumps. Didn't lose consciousness, but was pretty seriously confused as to how i got there and what had happened. Sat down for a good while and chilled, then had a buddy drive me home. Went straight to the ER...

    with the home-field advantage, my money is on Greg. besides, i think after losing the overall to Gee by such a narrow margin, he's hungrier than anyone this season.

    Avalanche Roco vrs. stock roco?

    I can't speak for Craig's work, but my stock Roco was redone by PUSH (back when they were offering the service), with very similar upgrades that Avalanche performs. I was fairly happy with the stock Roco, except for a few small things, and PUSH nailed all those little issues. I'm really happy...

    Formula The One - getting lever closer to the handle bar?

    just let some fluid out of the system, it's a bit overfilled open the caliper bleed port, "hug" it with a rag and squeeze the lever gently, letting some fluid out of the system. i had to do that with my Formulas all the time, to get the lever position perfect the only catch, is that later when...

    your 2010/2009 SX-Trail spring rate?

    Looking for some input from 2010/09 SX-Trail owners. The stock spring that came on my Large (a 600), is too soft for me. I'm getting about 40-45% sag with it. Before I commit to getting a new spring, I wanted to see what you guys are running. I am around 205 all dressed up to ride. If...

    Saint brakes - Formula rotors?

    i'm running the new Saints with Formula rotors.. no issues whatsoever. Everything bolted on and fit from the first try, and just works.
