    Sram/Rockshox = Awesome

    I know much has been said about Sram's excellent warranty service, but it bears repeating due to the fact that more people tend to complain about companies online than praise them. Here's my latest experience with them: Tuesday 3/30: I call my LBS, Allspeed, and have them set up some...

    Clemson Trails Open this Sunday (2/21)?

    Considering there's still a decent amount of snow up here around Ashe-tucky and I have squat to do this weekend, I was contemplating taking a little day trip down to Clemson on Sunday (2/21) to check out the race course. Is the course open for riding right now? In reading the website, I assume...

    Windrock 2/6 - 2/7?

    Assuming Windrock doesn't turn into a giant glacier from this storm that's whupping ass down around here, is anyone interested in doing some shuttling over there next weekend (2/6 - 2/7), or are conditions likely to just be too crappy??

    Incoming!

    Assuming my P.O.S. T-100 doesn't sh*t the bed on the way down, I'm temporarily moving to Asheville next week for the remainder of the winter and would love to hook up with some of you guys to do some trail rides, shuttles, pump track sessions, trips to Windrock, and moto rides. I'm still stuck...

    Best route from Burlington to Lake Placid for 5K DH?

    Hey guys- I'm heading to Whiteface this weekend and need some travel advice. On Friday, I'll be stopping in Burlington to have lunch with some friends, then I'm heading from there to my hotel in Lake Placid (I'll head to the mountain Saturday morning). What's the best route from...

    Jeremy

    Today's the 5-year anniversary of the passing of a great friend, superb rider, amazing artist and beautiful human being, Jeremy Demers. Make some time today to take a ride through the woods and smile. He'd like that.

    2010 Boxxer Service Manuals Online

    Huh. Seems like there's hardly any discussion on here about the 2010 Boxxer. Seriously though, I haven't seen anyone post up a link to these service manuals yet, so prepare to get all nerded out on suspension geekiness. World Cup Team Race Say what you want about Rock Shox, but...

    Session 88 Frameset Build

    So I finally got this damn thing finished, after ordering it back in October. As far as I know, it's one of the first Session 88 framesets to come into the U.S. FYI, if anyone else wants one, my shop got two of them from Trek (out of less than 10 coming into the States), and still has one in...

    NHL Playoffs . . .

    So, we had a pretty 'spirited' discussion on the NHL Playoffs last spring, so I figured I'd crank up another thread about it this season. Who do you like to make the playoffs? Who do you like to win the Cup? Can the Wings repeat? As a 30+ year Red Wings fan, I'd love to have the same...

    Which Gravity East Race to Hit - WISP or Seven Springs?

    So I'm planning to hit either the WISP or Seven Springs GES race in June. I can really only do one or the other, and travel prices are the same for either from my home here in Maine. Is there anyone out there from that area who has a bunch of experience riding and racing at each (maybe...

    Sram/Avid Matchmaker with Twist Shifter?

    Apparently I'm one of the last humans on earth running twist shifters, so I realize this is a shot in the dark . . . Anyway . . . On Sram's website, it lists the X.0 and X.9 twist shifters as being "Matchmaker compatible". Can anyone enlighten me on how this works?? I've been scouring the...

    Cool App for iPhone Dorks (Including Me)

    Lately, I've been trying to find mods to make my all-moutain bike feel more like my DH bike, and dialing in the head angle seems to be a good place to start for me. The problem I've had is getting an accurate measurement of the HA without blowing a ton of $$ on a tool I probably won't use that...

    Good Hardpack UST Tire Besides DHF and Comp 24?

    I've got a race coming up next week, and I need some help on tires for the course (Highland mountain, NH - mostly very hard packed). I've got plenty of experience on Michelin Comp 24's and Maxxis DHF's, but QBP is out of both right now. Any advice on a good substitute? I'd really prefer UST...

    Atherton Podcast

    So the new Atherton Podcast is up over at animalcommencal.com. Damn. The footage at the beginning of the clip is nuts - it really gives you a sense of the speed those guys were doing at Val di Sole. The rest of the video is great as well (hard tail riding, Mount Ste. Anne, etc.), but I keep...

    A Pretty Full Day at Whistler

    Just got back from 12 days in Whistler. As always, it was a great, great time with good friends, fantastic food, and tons of riding. Anyway, on Thursday I decided to see how long and far I could ride in a single day using my GPS to measure progress. Having gone out the night before, I was...

    Bromont Canada Cup Questions

    A few quick questions about the Canada Cup race up at Bromont in a couple weeks: -It's been pretty well established that the powers that be have decided to run the course down the back side of the mountain, for better or worse. My question is: do we still park out front and take the normal...

    Downieville

    Did any of you SOBs actually get a registration for The Downieville DH?? Registration opened tonight at 8PM PDT, I logged on at 8:01, hit the check out button by 8:04, and it was already completely sold out (all age groups/all classes)!!! WTF?? I had even scored a sick cabin right near town for...

    Windrock = Gnar

    Just back from a weekend of riding and shuttling with a bunch of monkeys down in Windrock, TN, and all I can say is that if you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, you HAVE to visit this place. I'm not sure if the locals who get to ride this place regularly will be psyched or pissed that...
