    Hugi 240

    Quick question- I've come across some flashy new hubs and I've now got an extra Hugi 240 rear hub laying around. Will this be too light/weak for a dh bike? My frame is spaced for 10X135 and the old shimano xt I'm currently running in the rear is plain shot. This is the direction I'm...

    dead bodies at your office?

    This was just interesting. I had just left 15 mintues before hand to go into the field and they find this guy. The marina is situated in the first bend after the tallest bridge in downtown and on the shadier side of town. I think the body was caught on some of the many shoreline...

    riding and camping in NC

    Brakes and wheels

    Alright, I've got a few questions. I've stepped away from riding dh so much recently and I've been flogging the xc bike pretty hard. I've gotten to the point where the wheels are damn near trashed and the brakes have pretty much had it. I'm in the market for both and I'm looking for some...

    i've got another boxxer question

    It seems like the only reason I post is to ask for advice on my fork. Well...did the black box job today (on an 03 team which has been bastardized into an 04 looking WC) and I've run into a snag. All went well as I replaced the base adjuster and 3mm drilled out the compression. The problem is...

    hope mini problems

    I've got some problems going on with my minis. They've worked great for the past 9 months, no problems at all - felt better than all my buddies on hayes, even better than the dh04's on my big bike. The pads were very worn, so I got some EBC greens, hearing they will get rid of the squeal and...
