    WC Round 2 Fort William

    Strange results if you ask me...Hart made a lot of mistakes,and I find very dificult to believe he has the power to come 2nd at the last split,right on the pedaling section. Also Brook MacDonald and all the other NZ'ers in top 10? Ft William is not exactly a flat pedals-user super technical...

I grew up reading american mtb magazines,and dreaming about one day racing a big event over there...the dream is gone a long time ago.I don't say this just because the SO. American mtb racing is...

    Trek Session8/88 Tuning

    Upgrade to...spending a little time turning the dials on your shock!!!

    What cassette do you have on your DH rig?

    Dura Ace 11-21.Shifts faster and it's a really nice weight saving over a mtb cassete. For the Megavalanche I use a 11-32 XT,always with 36t up front.
