    The butt thread: finding a new seat.

    I've been riding (sitting) on WTB Rocket V saddles for most of my riding career. However, they are lacking durability and never last more than half a summer (under ideal conditions). So I am hear to ask around as tactfully as possible, what are people's favorite seats, how do they compare to...

    I am here to address a growing concern of mine, highlighted by some events this weekend at the ESC race at Killington: Where are all the course marshals? In the earlier years of racing, at every single race, from Mt Snow to Mtn Creek, there were marshals [volunteers] track side with...

    Dont trust Google translate...

    Just sold a Demo 8 frame, ebay style. Wasn't even sure if the transaction was going to happen bc of the flaky buyer. In the end, he gets the frame, and I get my tiny sum of money. That was the end, right? Nope. Just got this gem of a message: "Hello, frame has damage in the scissors...

    GoPro Chesty Mount Question

    Just purchased the camera/harness. Problem: I can't mount the camera so that it looks straight ahead. It is either a lovely shot of my top tube or the trees. Any suggestions? Pictures of set ups? Thanks.

    Burgtec MK3

    These are being bought for next season. However, I'm curious if it is worth spending up to the Ti axles. I know it is a little silly, but I run "built" bikes because I ride hard. So, saving a little weight here and there would be nice. So my question is: does anyone know the weight of...

    Alternative Tools

    Issue: Just got me some Saint Cranks/BB. Awesome. Bad news: I don't have the Shimano tools that tighten it all up. Some McGiver toolage took place, but was only partially successful. Should have planned ahead, but didn't obviously - next time. Anyone with Saint Crank experience: is...
