    Road Bike party (insane content)

    This has been making the rounds on Facebook and stuff. The thought of getting a road bike off the ground at all its inconceivable to me.

    Morpheus DH bike - 32.3 lbs, carbon/kevlar, adjustable CS

    Apologies if someone beat me to this. Morpheus posted a photo of their new DH bike on Facebook a little while ago along with some interesting info. I'm going to quote the info directly so I don't screw it up: " Yes it can be ran single speed. Also it feature our patented teloscopic...

    Ride from NYC to diablo sunday 5/22?

    I posted this in the Northeast forum but that place is kind of a ghost town so I figured I'd try here too. Anybody heading out to Diablo this sunday with room in the car for 1 bike and rider? I can chip in for gas/tolls/zipcar fees, etc. I live just outside the entrance to the lincoln tunnel...

    NYC to Diablo sunday May 22nd?

    Anybody heading out to Diablo this sunday with room in the car for 1 bike and rider? I can chip in for gas/tolls, etc. I live just outside the entrance to the lincoln tunnel on 35th st, but could grab the subway to wherever you're leaving from. Let me know, thanks!

    Weird RockGardn Blacklite issue

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing with this helmet. I bought mine in 2008 and the finish on the helmet was sort of rubbery. This was apparently intentional and allowed the entire outer surface of the helmet to act as a goggle grabber. Towards the end of last season i...

    EXCELLENT CS from POC

    I've been meaning to post this since last season but just never got around to it. Last season I purchased a pair of POC's "Bone" elbow/forearm guards (the ones with the hard shell). They were on sale at one of the parks that I ride at, and my old Fox Launch elbows had a tear in them from a...

    Launch Bike Park?

    So I've been seeing some postings on facebook about "Launch Bike Park" at Spring Mountain in PA. Anybody ridden there before? Will this place fill the void that Blue Mountain has left in our hearts? http://www.springmountainadventures.com/newsmore.php?id=82&vis=1 They're apparently...

    Kona Operator recall!

    Well, I figured I'd keep the April fool's thing going at least through the title of this thread. Here's a link to the article: http://cog.konaworld.com/archives/6874 Say what you will about Kona's product, but their company attitude is pretty rad. I'm sure someone is going to post in...

    Most "unique" feeling suspension system?

    So to start off, this isn't a thread about "which bike to buy" or "which suspension setup is better". I'm just wondering, for those of you who've spent time on multiple DH bikes what you consider to be the most unusual or non-conventional feeling setup. I've heard people on this andother...

    2009 Bell Drop, $59.99 at nashbar.com

    Just wanted to give the RM DHers a heads up on this deal. I know most of you probably don't check nashbar.com since they barely carry anything DH-specific but this deal seemed pretty good. They're doing a closeout on a bunch of their Giro/Bell stuff so there might be some other things of...

    odd Gustav grinding issue

    So I'm having a problem with my front Gustav that shouldn't exist. The rotor is grinding up against the part of the caliper that sits to the outside of the pads. In other words, the rotor now extends too far through the pads and is grinding up against the caliper. I don't get why this is...

    New Diablo trailmap

    Looks like the new diablo trailmap is live. Couple of interesting things to note: 1. The new Outlaw trail branches off grrenhorn but doubles back to the tempest side of the mountain. Very interesting and makes the trail much longer than I originally thought it'd be. I have no idea what the...

    DH Rig from Saracen

    I posted this on MTBR earlier today, so I figured I'd put it down here as well. Saw it on BikeRadar this morning: http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/prototype-saracen-myst-downhill-bike-first-look-25145 We’ve reported previously on the resurrection of Saracen bikes, and now the...

    Cool "one-off" or limited DH stuff

    I was reading the article on Sicklines about their SSO project build and there's some really interesting stuff in the interview with DW that's part of the article. I was searching for some pictures of some of the stuff that he mentioned and came across this: 2005 or 2006 DHR frame with...

    Alpine to Ripper?

    So yesterday I rode Ripper for the first time and I stopped and waited for my friend to catch up, and I noticed what I thought was a little piece of trail connecting alpine to ripper. I didn't walk over to check it out, but I think it extends off the entrance to Das Wall. Didn't have a chance to...

    Bad luck for two riders...

    So today I started my first run down Upper Dominion and got waved down on the 3rd table by a guy whose buddy had overshot the 2nd double, OTB'd and broken his collarbone. Diablo staff shows up, and the injured rider gets on the lift to go back down. His buddy is still fine, he and I go our...

    E-13 Chainguide spare parts help

    I'd really appreciate some help with this. I bought my DH bike used last year, it has an e-13 chainguide on it. I THINK it's an older SRS. I'm looking around online to try and find a parts tree for it because one of the plastic bits is broken. I found this one on jensonusa.com: but...

    Couple of Random Pipeline Drop Pics

    My friend took these before they shut it down on sunday. That little section is fun as hell. Looking forward to hitting that again. Hopefully there'll be less rain next weekend.
