    on sundays the area of biggest concern imho would be the lower link that carries the shock. There used to be reproduction pieces made but I'm not sure who did em or if they were still available. that lower link is a pain to work on and uses a pretty goofy expansion bolt setup. check the...

    magazines? which one do you guys read if any at all?

    Dig owns. it's better theyre true to what it's supposed to be about. I wouldn't expect bmx coverage from decline either. that reminds me I need to renew my dig subscription. the reasons for lack of crossover are many. there's a lot of aspects of the whole sport of mountain biking that are...

    Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

    huge top tubes, those are like L/XL/XXL I'm 5'8 and generally ride mediums, and 23" is right at the limit of comfortable length with a 50mm stem. a lot of medium type people are going with small on bikes like SB66 with these ginormous TT's. long TT makes it way harder to bunnyhop and the...

    Suggestions for xc/dh bike

    At a grand you are going to be kinda limited in your choices. I'd look at giant reigns, older specialized enduros, and SC bullits. You most likely wont find a nomad in that price range. Pinkbike is the best online classifieds for used bikes or your local Craigslist may have some too.

    Casing lippy table tops on my Session.

    +1 play around with the knobs and dials, test it out and use some common sense. hit the same jump over and over again making small adjustments and thinking about what is happening. could increase tire pressure and spring rate too which will make the bike more responsive overall on takeoffs.

    Designing a bike rack

    why is that specifically? the hooks on the fork crown or head tube seems pretty solid, less material, easier to load. although it would make it hard to load say a bmx or a road bike that didnt have a fork crown. do they have more movement of the bike itself? I too am about to build a rack...
