    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Holy smokes. This thread still exists, and the same characters inhabit it. Relevant content: The industry sucks because of something that escapes me, but doesn't involve 26" wheels.

    Next generation Nomad?

    I almost got excited then I remembered I got sick of skittle barf and a lack of XXL except for 9'ers which I maintain still suck huge moose anuses. Think I might need a Banshee Spitfire. EDIT: 6'7" guy certifying that big wheels are not for big people. Nope. Not even slightly.

    Help chosing a new fork please

    I have the Circus Expert 100. Its light, stiff, nice. I really only use it as a get around bike, but I'll fly down stairs and some weird drops and such (cruising between Manhattan and BX old school free-roam style.) There seem to be a lot of them around, and anyone I asked about theirs has...

    Commencal Supreme V4.2 or the dilemma of bike sizing

    Clothes are sized by bulk diameter rather than length. Eg XXL jackets and shirts are often 1" longer in the sleeve, 12+" larger in the waist than a L. Ive worn XXL that barely reaches my waist. That sizing is covered with spring rate on bikes..... I wear L Tall or XL Tall depending on fit...

    Commencal Supreme V4.2 or the dilemma of bike sizing

    The term XL means 'Extra' large. Being 6'7", I personally don't consider a 6' person XL, but most XL's I've come across belong to 5'10-6' riders. My DH is a XXL V10 which is really an XL........ it's still too small, Im going to try a 60mm stem and Works reach adjust headset and get ~17mm...

    Moving to the NW - Whats the MonkeyScat

    Good feedback, thanks monkeys! I am slightly concerned with access to people, socializing - immersion! Im a bit of an independent soul, so I dont want to exacerbate that too much. I did find I nice 2br house near WWU w/ Garage and nice stuff for less than I pay for my 550sf 1br in...

    Nomad Thoughts? Bike Dilemna

    I think you have the right bikes, just need to play with setup, especially tires and wheels. Unless you find the SOLO(!!!) too heavy, a little shock setup could also mitigate the overkill status, plus its nice to have something there when you decide to 'ride out of band' -- I have occasionally...

    Forgot how much fun a DH bike was

    Got to be! Love that jumpline because Ive always been a timid jumper, but since I wrecked my shoulder in 12 I hadn't even tried jumping; Windham and Thunder have me easing into it and enjoying without absolute terror. I still smash the DH pretty hard tho! DH **IS** awesome.

    Thunder mountain

    I love the twisties, now that Ive finally developed a tolerance, nee liking, for berms. But I think I know exactly what you mean. A couple at the top and repeatedly lower down, there are these weird lines that murder your speed unless you completely let go then they just hamper it significantly.
