    Hi Guys... Long time no see!!

    Had a chance to catch my breath here at work and thought I'd pop in and say "SUCK IT!!" :banana: Haha... Seriously though, Glad to see a lot of familiar faces are still on here. Too bad I barely ride anymore. 3 kids is TAXING. I'm so out of the loop with all things MTB. Still...

    Grumpy old man Axle size question/rant

    Ok... I'm still stuck in the past I guess. I remember when everything was a 9mmx110 QR, then the heavens parted and we got the 20mmx110mm forks. At that point it was all easy enough. You either had a QR or a Through Axle... And I've had the 20mm TA ever since. I could swap wheels...

    Why no more Coil forks?

    So when did FOX stop making coil forks? Do they really think that their air "float" forks are so dang good and reliable that no one would buy a coil any more? Same w/ RockShox... No more coil across the entire line of single crowns?!?! Seems like the Boxxer WC is the only coil fork...

    Help chosing a new fork please

    Ok, so here is the dealio... I have an old Planet-X DirtJumper/Slalom frame that I wanna build up for two reasons. First of all, it will be a DJ bike for me when I take my kid (6 yr old) to the local track. Then, in a few years, I wanna give it over to my son as his general MTB. The bike...

    Rampage questions... also, anyone going?

    I'm headed out there for the first time and wanted to see if any :monkeydance:'s are going. I'll be there with my 5yr old son, so no real riding. Might do a little sessioning over on Guacamole trail though. Also, for anyone that has been there in the past, what are the options for camping? Do...

    Carbon frames replacing Aluminum... Good or bad?

    OK, I'll preface this by admitting I HAVE NEVER HAD A CARBON FRAME I'm in the market for a new aggressive AM (refuse to say endurpo though) and it seems like everything is a carbon 650b. I'll table the "tweener" size discussion bc we've seen it plenty of times already. What I want to know...

    Injury Feedback wanted!! Broken/dislocated finger

    So about a month and a half ago I was out doing a night ride and was bombing down the trail and came up on this section where you have to jump a small ditch. I looked up and there was someone climbing UP the trail and they were right in the landing spot so I pulled hard to the right, nailed the...

    OC to SD... How do they compare?

    I might have an opportunity to move from Orange County to San Diego in the near future and I wonder if I'm gonna regret it due to lack ot good ride spots. Right now I'm very close to at least 4-5 good places (less than 20min drive, some less than 5 min) and I would hate to move down there only...

    Will a Saint rear derailer work with a dual ring front setup?

    I'm looking for a new derailer (shimano shadow tech) for my trail/mini DH bike and with the rate I flog normal derailers the sait is looking pretty nice. I'm running a 36/22 setup in front though and I'm not sure that the saint will be able to handle all excess chain needed for a dual ring in...

    Anyone doing something interesting (food wise) for T-day tomorrow?

    I like to change things up when possible so in addition to the "standard" bird that my Fiance is making us cook, I'm also doing a Spatchcock bird that I'll then throw on the BBQ. For those who are not familiar, Spatchcock is like a butterfly technique where you cut out the back-bone and then...

    For all you "Car" guys... New Nissan (Datsun) 510

    http://paultan.org/2013/11/20/nissan-idx-freeflow-nismo-datsun-510-reborn/ Personally I really like the look of these... Though the IDX Nismo is way hotter than the freeflow IMO.

    I think I'm crazy (aka I jus turned 40)

    So anyone here that knows me knows I'm more of a DH guy than a weight weeny lycra wearing spandex wanna-be. Here is why I must be crazy though. I just got talked into signing up for an epic endurance race here in SoCal called the Counting Coup/Vision Quest. I'm doing the shorter Coup...

    GoPro Hero3 being released...

    Quite surprised that no one is talking about this... Or at least it didnt appear that way from a quick search I did. http://gopro.com/hd-hero3-cameras Hero-3 looks pretty nice. What really is going to be telling is if they fixed that darn "rattle" that seemed to have plagued the previous...

    10 vs 9 speed cranks

    I'm seeing that most of the cranks now are being marketed as 10speed. Do 10speed cranks have the chainrings closer together or something? I've got a 9sp setup and I'm not in any hurry to upgrade. Can I use the 10speed cranks in a 9speed setup?

    Bike-packing Anyone have experience? Looking for advice.

    So a while back there was an article here on RM about some gravity racer guy that changed things up a bit and went on a multi day, unsupported mountainbike trip (at least I hope it was here on RM... I'd hate to get called out for cheating on the monkey!!). On this adventure the guy was up...
