    Rain jacket suggestions?

    The Torrentshell is your basic WPB jacket...material in terms of waterproofing and breatability is the same thing as almost every company out there. As you said you are skinny, check out the Stoic Vaporshell at backcountry.com. Very athletic cut and the material is alot better in terms of feel...

    Winter/wet riding jackets

    I got one of these based on the reviews of its breathability. http://www.backcountry.com/stoic-vaporshell-jacket-mens Totally waterproof, no pockets which is nice for riding as they arent needed, big pit zips if you overwhelm the fabric, nice trim athletic fit so doesnt flap around and longish...

    Magazine helps

    You might try the VRC forum on MTBR or maybe retrobike.co.uk Retrobike has alot of magazine scans on their website ( although most are probably alot older than 97) I have a ton of old bike mages in my basement. I can take a look if I have that one.

    I don't know where i beloooooooooooooooooooong

    I was in the exact same boat last year...hadnt done a XC race in 15 years, was awful when I did them. My rides were around the same length as yours. I had raced DH in between my XC stints ( and did just as awful). I entered in the Beginner class ( my tech skills are alot better than my...

    Career suicide or great idea?

    This is worth risking losing a job over. You are completely crazy if you don't go. You can share my spare room with Joe if you need a place to live.

    Is 100mm enough suspension for me?

    I started riding on rigids, then hardtails, then moved into fullys. For a while my primary bike was 6"+ of travel at both ends. I got a xc fully ( Giant Anthem so roughly 3 and 3) and I found it far more preferable to the long travel. Felt alot more connected to the trail and it wasnt even close...

    as recently as a few years ago, White Industtries still had a bunch of those and were willing to sell them. FAR less than what this seller is asking for them. I actually knew a guy who had that setup.

    Handlebars, going...retro?

    Sandwich I did a similar swap about a year ago...I did it mainly to drop my bar height. Went from risers to some Salsa Moto flat bars with a similar sweep as my risers. For some reason it didnt feel right. I messed with the stem height etc but it just felt more cramped. Sweep similar, width...

    Best reliable/light, wheels.

    You lose the weight of the tube so less rotational weight, you definately get much better traction as you can run much lower tire pressure with little concern, pinch flats are completelty a thing of the past. The only issue I have had with tubeless ( and have been running them for years) is I...
