    2015 New dh rides thread - no enduros because kickstand hates them

    Have gotten my Intense 951 pretty dialed over the years so I'm prob sticking with it a little while longer. Everytime I ride it, I realize there's no need to "upgrade" just yet.

    New "trail bike" rides for 2015 (No DH bikes allowed!)

    Not a new 2015 bike, but new to me. Built it up with my first foray into the 1x11 world. Loving it, although wouldn't mind a 30T ring up front instead of the 32T currently.

    Cane Creek Titanium Coils

    For reference, the RCS 450 x 3.0 Ti coil I'm running now weighs 399g vs. a DSP 450 x 3.9 Ti that came in at 425g on the same scale. So are you guys claiming CC Ti coils are lighter than both those, given same specs?

    Thomson dropper post

    I would love to have a well-engineered component made with real R&D prioritized over subjective looks. Pricing will most likely be a deal-breaker though :(

    Is it becoming "uncool" to wear protection?

    That's pretty sweet. If I go that route next year, I'd probably go with that one.

    Stevens Pass Bike Park Summer 2012

    Went up there this weekend for the 1st time this year. 100x better than the muddy mess last year on opening weekend. Had a good time and was beat after just 4hrs of riding. Trails definitely need some work though, to improve flow, reshaping of the tables, and of course expansion with more...

    Best flat dh pedal

    Loving the Deity Decoys I've been running for awhile now. Lost a few pins so I replaced all of them with new longer ones, and love them even more now.

    Is it becoming "uncool" to wear protection?

    It's true, these days it's basically a bmx style lid or full face, paired with some knee pads. Quite a few of my friends are riding this way now, and we're well past our youthful years lol. Personally I still rock more armor than that every day, whether shuttling or at the bike park. Yeah it's...

    time for a new downhill bike??? went to the lbs and.....

    While this discussion is interesting to a former business major like myself, and I definitely agree that mountain bikes/components are far too expensive, I've managed to minimize the impact it has on me. I tend to buy used, but even for new stuff, I scour PB, CL, eBay, etc... and avoid the...

    Protective Shorts, anyone wearing?

    I broke my tailbone snowboarding a few yrs ago, so I picked up some 661 protective shorts for FR/DH. These were the mesh ones with the hard plastic armor on the quads. They fell apart after a trip to the washing machine. Then I started using the shorts I used for snowboarding, which were the...

    Looking for a good fr/allmountain air fork, suggestions welcomed

    If you can afford it, Fox Talas if you want adjustable travel, Fox Float if you don't need that functionality.

    ever heard of DEMON bike parts?

    Sounds like this is not the same Demon as the company that makes protective armor?
