    Need an xc bike

    Guys, I have been riding mostly DH the last 5-7 years and my trail bike is an 08 Giant Reign X. My girlfriend and her dad are crazy good athletes and amazing climbers and I need something light, preferably in the 25-27lb range in order to keep up with them on the local mellow trails here in...

    XPost MTBR: Dumb Question RE: Old Hayes Mags

    I need to replace the rear Hayes Mag caliper. I am going to buy a set used with 160mm rotors but I am running a 203mm rotor in the back right now. Are these calipers universal for all rotor sizes or did they make different sized calipers to go with the larger rotors? Thanks for the help.:D

    Should I move to a 20"?

    Guys, I live near Santa Monica and have started riding the Cove skate park and I also found another good park down in Fullerton. I am new to park and am riding an '08 Eastern Night Train. After 3 trips to the park, I am getting jealous of all the kids on 20 inchers and how easily they can...

    Going from Bottlerocket to Reign X1?

    Guys, I have been ripping a Bottlerocket for everything from trail rides to annual trips to Whistler for the past two years. I have finally decided that I want to make a change because I just have never gotten used to climbing the 38lb beast. I am thinking that I could pick up a Reign...

    2008 Demo 7 II + telescoping seatpost for trail riding?

    Guys, I am taking a look at the 2008 Demo 7 II, which is the high end build and comes out to 40lbs on the shop scale. I know this is not a trail bike but I trail ride with my Bottlerocket every week and it is sitting at 38lbs. Is this bike going to feel much worse for trailriding than the...

    2008 Kona Stinky Deluxe Sizing

    Guys, I am looking at a 2008 Kona Stinky Deluxe. I am about 5'10" and am thinking about the large (16"). The Kona website lists it as having almost exactly the same top tube length as my med Bottlerocket's effective top tube (23"). The actual top tube of the BR is (22.4"). Is it more...

    Iron Horse Sunday + Totem?

    Does anyone on here have the Sunday Elite that comes speced with the Totem? How do you like the setup for freeriding/shuttling/bike parks as compared to full DH racing? Is the HA steeper than the stock 8" DC setups and if so, would that make it bearable for any shorter trail rides with some...

    Marzocchi 55 ATA setup

    Guys, Is there a specific order that I am supposed to follow when inflating the different air chambers in this fork? I also have the Roco TST R rear air shock on my bike and you are supposed to fill the reservoir air chamber before you fill the main air spring. Thanks for the help.:D

    Roco TST AIR on Bottlerocket?

    Is anyone running a Roco TST Air on a their Bottlerocket or any other FR/DH frame? I am about 190lbs with gear. I will be using it mostly as a trail bike with some shuttle runs. I probably won't hit anything over 7 feet and will be making resort trips about 2-3 times a year including Whistler...

    Marz '07 66 Sl Ata worth the risk?

    After reading every post on here and mtbr (including Renegade's fix) and every mtbr review, it sounds like there is a high risk of having issues with this fork. So 66 SL owners, is it worth the hassle? I have a bottlerocket that I use as primarily a trailbike with some shuttling and then...

    Guys, I am looking at the 160mm Domain Uturn and am trying to compare it the axel to crown height for the 66 forks from 2007. Does anyone have these numbers? Thanks.

    Any experience yet on Marz 55 ETA?

    I am looking at buying an 08 55 ETA. I am riding a Bottlerocket and felt undergunned at Whistler and the Shore with my 05 Z1 FR1. Is the 55 going to feel significantly stiffer and bigger than the Z1? I am also considering a 36 Van but I would rather stay with Marzocchi, unless the 36 is...

    2007 66 Sl Ata

    I am looking at picking up one of these forks for my Bottlerocket. I am about 185lbs and will be taking this fork to Whislter and the Shore next year as well as local Socal shuttle runs. I am also avoiding the RC2X because I want to be able to lower the fork for climbing on local trail rides...

    Brand new Deemax rear cassette play

    Guys, I just bought a brand new rear Deemax wheel from my LBS (135mm spacing) and a new SRAM 9 speed cassette. I am having a little bit of play (the cassette is able to wobble back and forth a bit if you pull on the inner cog) as the casssette is not able to slide in all the way flush...

    Guys, I am making a trip starting in mid September to Seatlle/Whistler/North Shore and I am looking for suggestions for a wet conditions dh tire. I am used to only riding dry stuff here in Socal so I have never looked into these types of tires. I would prefer tubeless options, but will...

    Trailriding a street frame?

    I am looking at building up a street specific frame or getting a street complete (riot, mob, night train, atomlab, top, etc) and want to know if it will just feel way too unstable due to the short rear end and small feeling frame for occaisional trail riding? I would be standing up and pedaling...

    Do I need a half link chain?

    I am setting up my 2002 Chameleon as a single speed for street/dj. The frame doesn't have an integrated disc tab but I am using an adaptor from Santa Cruz. One of the drawbacks of the adaptor is that it won't allow me to slide the rear wheel axle all the way into the shortest wheelbase...
