    SRAM X01 DH Drivetrain

    This. I stopped my subscription to Dirt after 3 years of the "Dirt 100" which was obviously just Steve Jone's favorites. Great mag but I couldn't stand his hard on for Orange bikes, anything SRAM and BOS suspension.

    No, I was there for the storm of biblical proportions. That happened over the Xmas of 08/09. 110" in 10 days. Yup 110" in 10 days. Yes, roughly a foot a day for a week and a half; I was there for 8 of those 10 days.

    You said yourself, dig deep enough in CO and you'll find a weak layer. And you are correct. The more I learn about BC over the years the more I'm ...wait for it... scared sh!tless...

    How bad an idea is this?

    My friend bought snow tires for his Subi and I asked "why you have AWD?" He said "dude, you're f$@king Super Man". I bought some for my Frontier. Wholly crap he was right. The thing is a madman in the snow; I love it. As much as I love my 4x4 Frontier with traction control and snow...

    manitou dorado tuning tips

    I've been playing around with my settings. I was in Whistler and discovered their steep tech didn't always do well with soft TPC. I've added more TPC which helps keep the fork higher in its travel in steep sections when I hit the front brake; but it can get "hooked" in rock gardens on those...

    China Peak Pro GRT

    While that looks like a great course I have to say Angel Fire is far more than 1/2 way decent.

    2014 World Cup schedule

    I constantly hear rumors about a US WC back in the central Rockies (Angel Fire, Vail, Durango, Telluride from the past) at places like Angle Fire, Crested Butte and Winter Park. But every year when a schedule comes out I get sad. In the early 2000s there were 2 in CO in 1 year. Argh!

    Mavic 823 + Maxxis tubeless setup tips

    The 1st and 2nd reply hit it on the mark. I run 823/Maxxis and I use about a cup of Stans. I've used less/more and haven't noticed much of a difference. With more Stans you'll save a few psi when the rim burps as it will seal a bit faster, that's all I've noticed. The only problem I see is...

    denver peeps:

    Spot on. The guys in Blink 182 are 40 years old and still sing about high school pop sh!t. The wife and I went to a Blink concert because Rancid was there. After Rancid we stuck around for Blink. 3 songs in we left.

    My thought was how did the thing get that big before the decision to remove it was made? The moment I felt something wiggling in my eye I'd head straight to the doc.

    Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

    I was wondering if you were going to replace the Sunday with a DW Turner like SylentK did or go local.

    How does one go about starting a bike company?

    I was wondering when mtg would pipe in as he's actually done this. From an outside perspective I've known mtg for years as he (and 2 others) started the Guerilla Gravity business. I remember thinking right away "good luck with that sh!t". But I told him "good luck dude!". I'm a...

    What year is this Boxxer?

    I'd guess 2005 as well. My friend had a 2005 Ironhorse Sunday and that looks very similar.

    I hate buying fvcking brake adapters...

    I hear you there. And how about rear hub spacing and wheel size? Remember way back in 2011 when there was 135mm/150mm and 26"/29" and QR or solid axle? Now we've got 142,157, 650B, QR 15...and who knows what's next.

    I hate buying fvcking brake adapters...

    How has no one said MOAR SHIMZ? Really though, I keep a box with maybe a dozen random adapters in it. I can usually find one that works. Some front/rear are interchangeable by a 1" rotor difference. Avid adapters usually are a bit small compared to Hayes/Shimano to make up for their...
