    Gravity Nationals quandry - - Angel Fire or Mammoth?

    Patiently indulge an old man’s ramblings a moment to help me decide. I’ve always wanted, but never gotten a chance yet, to go to Nationals. I can finally go this year, and being a driveable venue from the Pac NW, it’s a realistic trip to Angel Fire. The drawback: at 59 years old, I’m afraid...

    Syncros SOLD

    Holy cats - - my world is unraveling a bit. My favorite component company in the whole world is under new ownership as of Jan. 3. (ignorant me, I didn't find out until I went to their web site tonight). Ritchey Design sold Syncros to Scott Sports. Looks like they're going to branch out of...

    Stupid Ti spring question

    OK, I'm going to preface this by admitting that I'm opening myself up to some award for the dumbest question ever posted on the DH board but here goes: I'm looking to do some weight-shaving this winter on my 303R and really want to replace the stock spring on my RC4 with a ti spring. It's 9.5x3...

    Fluidride race at Schweitzer becomes All-Gravity Series race!!

    Can someone confirm what I heard when I was up at Schweitzer yesterday? I heard that the Fluidride race there has been cancelled. It sounds like the All Gravity Series (WSE/Bike Hub) is working on taking over hosting so that it can happen anyway, especially in view of what happened at Mt...

    Stuff the ballot box!

    It's USA Cycling election time again. I don't want to tell anyone how to vote; but, gee, it sure would be nice to have one of our own on the board of trustees, wouldn't it? Todd Seplavy (Ska Todd) is in the running for Industry Trustee again. Just saying. If you hold a USA Cycling license...

    Another 'Which Chain Guide?' thread

    OK, I'm going to feed myself to the wolves here…open up Pandora's box…(fill in your favorite metaphor here): I'm getting ready to assemble my 303 RDH and I've run into a hitch: was going to reuse my trusty Syncros guide but realized it's ISCG-old and the frame is ISCG 05 (duh!). I still...

    Crankworx amateur race photos?

    I know we're just a sideshow to the 'main events;' but does ANYBODY have shots of the amateur racing - - Garbanzo and Air DH - - from this year's Whistler Crankworx sorted by bib number? I haven't found any collections yet and would really like to purchase a file or two as 'evidence' that I...

    Which Crankworx events to enter?

    OK - - Crankworx (Whistler) registration should be opening up soon and I have some decisions to make that are going to affect my lodging choices. The hard reality is that I'm not going to be able to spring for 8 nights lodging up there to catch both weekends, so I am going to have to pick my...

    . . . well, it's a couple weeks old now; but, on bizutch's word, I will venture forward to post it: My thanks especially to Aaron at RST USA, Rosy at Syncros and Clayton at Hayes.

    Roll call! - Beacon Saturday?

    Anybody planning on being at Beacon running the DH course? I have to get some practice in for Sea Otter and my wife doesn't like me riding alone (and, well, neither do I :)). That is, if you don't mind a having slow, old guy around.

    Sea Otter Super-D course - - is anyone familiar with it?

    I'm about to (finally) get my entry in for Sea Otter. Besides the downhill, it looks like there is time in my schedule to enter the Super-D. My question is: does anybody here know specifically what this year's S.O. Super-D course is supposed to be like? It seems from what I've read about a...
