Yeah, I accidentally soaked my Avid pads in the stuff. Now, the breaks are good up until a certain pressure, after which the power vanishes with a horrible squealing.
I appreciate your responses. Both Performance Bike and Amazon accepts returns alike, but I'd rather be better sure of the correct size. Unfortunately, I'm right between the two of you in head size.
I have my eyes set on a Giro Remedy, and I can't decide what size to get. One might then suggest to go try one on. Well, I can't because there isn't a retailer in the state that has one in stock. This not only means that I will have to buy online, but I'll be guessing on the size I need.

This is a motorbike created by Zero Motorcycles. A dirtbike doesn't seem like a big deal, right? Well, this one is unusual.

On my xc bike I run 8" in the front and 7" in the rear. I'm not a big guy (140 lbs), but I do appreciate the extra stopping ability of them. Also, sometimes I do a little downhillish stuff up in the mountains near me, so they help out there too.
Ask one of your summer school teachers if you can take the bike into their classroom or something, so they can keep an eye on it. Or maybe keep it in the front office, or lock it up in a closet.
Alright. I apologize for asking. I wasn't sure how bad it was to go beyond what the manufacturer recommended. I guess I assumed that they put the suggested maximum travel allowance way below what the frame would handle. Thanks for the answers.
:wave:
I have an image here that I need an educated guess on. Yes, I cut the fork, headset and bars out of the image, because they were a distraction form what I am looking for.
Assuming that the bike will take an 1 1/8" threadless stem, (based on the geometry shown) what do you think the biggest...
I need some suggestions on how to paint a pair of rims. I have a pair of stock WTB SX-24's, and would like to paint them bright green. How would I do this correctly? What paint do I use? How do I prepare/prime it? I'm really not looking forward to reassembling any wheelsets, because it looks...
