    Numb Hands

    No changes to my bike (5010 gen 2) since last season, but at the end of last season and throughout the winter I started riding moto in the woods, bought a new house this spring and haven't ridden a whole hell of a lot. But the few times I have gotten out on the pedally bike my hands go numb, to...

    Nomad Thoughts? Bike Dilemna

    I am having a bike dilemna. I live in the flat lands, my 5010 130mm travel trail bike is a touch overkill for my local trails, and a bit under gunned when I travel out of state. I chose it with the intention of giving an enduro or two a try, but haven't gotten to that point yet. My v-10 is...

    How do you decide bar height on your trail bike?

    How do you decide where to put your bars? I've always gone with the 15mm of spacers above and below and have the freedom to move them later, and then I never do. What method do you use? What's the "proper" way to determine where your bars should be?

    Irony and the Big S .... secondary monday GMT thread.

    I never really thought about this, but then when I did i said, "I should start a thread on ridemonkey and see if anyone else thought about this" because you know, that's what went through my head. Specialized has sued the whole world for trademark, patent, and copyright infringements no? Yet...

    tooooooooooob-less....home made sealant

    ok, I finally converted and stopped using tubes, mostly. Long story short I suck at mounting DH tires and getting the tubes out of the way sure made it a lot easier to get them onto the rims. So I set all my shit up tubeless if it wasn't already and I've got my technique down pretty good now, I...

    Rock Shox pike question

    hi monkeys. I have a rock shox pike 130 mm 27.5 that came on my santa cruz 5010. I see that the pike is only available in 150mm in 27.5 when purchased aftermarket. My buddy suggested that it could possibly just be a lowered 150 mm and I may be able to raise it to 140 or 150 by removing...

    10 speed chains

    10 speed chains are disappointing for DH use. I have destroyed far more of them than I ever did 9 speed chains. Anywho, 9 speed parts are too much of a pain in the ass to find consistently, so 10 speed it is. Suggestions? I have exactly one race weekend on my current chain and it already has...
