    Anybody Every to a Hardtail from a FS?

    I've been riding my hardtail a bit more since the weather has been bad. We've had a bit more snow this year than we've had in a while, and the hardtail is easier to pedal through snow than the full suspension. I still really enjoy riding full suspension, but the hardtail seems to really hone the...

    Anybody Every to a Hardtail from a FS?

    I like to switch back and forth between my hardtail and suspension bikes. The hardtail makes trail riding "interesting" again. It makes me pick my lines a little more carefully, and makes the trails around my area seem more technical. I really enjoy throwing the flats on the hardtail and just...

    Do You Have a Bash Gaurd or a 3rd Chainring?

    I never used the 3rd ring up front. I guess it depends on where and how you ride. Around Pisgah, the 3rd ring would act as a pretty good crampon for logs. I have single ring and double ring on my bikes,normally with guides.

    Can I get a witness?

    But it can harden up like concrete once it gets there.:D

    Kids bikes

    My youngest son also had the heavy mongoose bmx style bike until he was big enough to ride a 20" bike. I bought him a 20" specialized hotrock and the difference was incredible. Scott also makes a quality kids bike. I think I paid around 200 for the specialized bike. well worth the money.

    Black Jesus

    Get thicker skin. Join the crowd. That, my friends is something that I will never do. I am proud to call myself a christian, and I hope that I'm not the only one on this board that finds offense to the satire shown in this show. But, as everyone else has done, I simply made a statement showing...

    Black Jesus

    Sends a great message to our youth. If that is supposed to be comedy, then I don't know the meaning of the word.I don't care if you are religious or not, that show is nothing but trash.

    Going back to mechanicals less maintenance

    MTB in Pisgah in Winter?

    It depends on the weather. I live in Hendersonville and ride all year long. A little snow raises the technical a bit. There are several guide books for the pisgah area. The pisgah ranger station sells the NGM, but you should be able to buy it online as well. Shuttles in the winter are hard...

    Officially SoCal: I crashed in cactus

    I thought that riding in Pisgah was painful. We do have stinging nettles in the summer time, but I'm sure that they don't compare. Wonderful pictures of your little girl. Truly blessed. We have 3 sons; the youngest 8 years old now. And Nicholas never pooped skittles!!!!

    "tired of being slow?"

    He definitely rips on the bike. I really liked the way he used his hands to show the correct way to make a turn. :thumb: Nice riding Sam.

    Brand new to FR

    Ride with friends who are a bit better than you are and follow them down the hill. You will learn lots from following an experienced rider.

    Gravity in Pisgah

    That's the truth. One of the best downhills in Pisgah. I guess you could shuttle farlow, but you would still have a bit of climbing and pushing in between downhill sections. Possibly Bennett Gap, but the last time out there(last week) the fireroad was still closed due to a landslide.Probably the...

    Tubes with tubeless tires

    If they are cheap enough, buy them. You'll have a set of tires if you decide to go tubeless.Or just throw tubes in them.

    Going Insane.

    It could possibly be your bottom bracket. But that would be more of a "creak" than a squeak.
