yeah, haven't ridden Di2 yet though. As much as i dislike shimano, they didn't try to make their system wireless, which is probably a good thing. I just can't learn to love those 7900 cranks though. . . uuugggggggggglllllyyyyyyy.
looks interesting. it would be hard to produce it cheaply, and would probably come out for road several years before mountain. mavic tried electronic shifting with servo-operated derailleurs and even got them into production a few years back, but they never caught on. I rode a cannondale...
Ahh, my state. . .
Sanford is quite literally evil scum. He denies funding for education in the state that's ranked 49th in education. He denies funding for a bankrupt unemployment system when he owns payday loan business all over the state. He does these things for no reason other than his...
a good wheelset is the best way to shave a bunch of weight. A fork will improve the ride the most. Cranks can save weight and improve power transfer and shifting. All of these can also make you look cool. Easton EA 70 or -90 stem and handlebar will save weight pretty cheaply. Unless your local...
the M300 is a solid bike. I have a cannondale xc bike that i've ridden for years and years. Your M300 isn't necessarily built for jumping, but you've got a solid frame and fork, and double-wall rims. These are most important as far as durability goes. If you're riding it hard, you might find...

I've worked as a mechanic in a shop for 12 years. I can count on one hand the number of customers I've ever encountered who actually know enough about bikes not to need an LBS. Now before you all jump down my throat, that's not to say that you don't know...
It'll be tough, but it's possible. The main issue will probably be weight, since any bike built for jumping and such is gonna be heavy.
The Trail X-3 from Jamis ($540) and the P.1 A.M. from Specialized ($590) are probably the best do-it-all bikes for trail riding and jumping. Anything much...
HFX's aren't difficult to bleed. The easiest thing to do is follow the manufacturer's instructions. Instead of using a bottle at the caliper end, though, I like to use a syringe. If you're replacing the master cylinder or rebuilding the caliper, there are a few pitfalls to avoid. It may be worth...
Issaqueena's going to be your nearest trail system, and you'll have close to eighty miles of single track out there to deal with. The trails are well-maintained and fun, but not very technical for the most part. [unless you venture over to the truly awesome downhill course]
If you're willing to...
It definitely depends on what kind of riding you'll be doing. If you want a bike that'll be reasonably well-equipped for trail riding but that you can also hit some jumps on, you'll most likely have to spend a bit more. If you're looking for a bike just for jumping, look for something basic -...
I got 56 stitches across the top of my head when I was FOUR YEARS OLD, because I went over the bars without a helmet. I always tell customers at the shop that if I could wreck hard enough to do that at 4 years, it doesn't take much, huh? I keep my sister's old purple mushroom-head helmet at the...
XT works really well, but keep in mind that if you're new and plan on riding FR/DH, you'll almost certainly trash your rear derailleur before long. I'd suggest SRAM X-7 or X-9 over anything Shimano offers, for the sake of price vs. durability.
That said, DO NOT skimp on the cranks or wheelset...
