I have an '05 SX short and it rules for slalom/4X/dirt jumping, but it is too short to be a comfortable XC bike. Why not lighten up the Nomad a little bit and use it as a dual purpose freeride/XC rig? That's basically what I do with my Giant Reign XO.
Can anyone recommend a good wheel builder in the south King County area? I need a new wheel build for my Spec. Demo 8. It needs to be dishless, so instead of just buying a complete wheel and adjusting the dish I thought I'd just have a custom wheel built. Any recommendations? Thanks!
While this is pretty scary, if this was an internal flaw in the material chances are it is 1 out of maybe 10,000 bars. If these bars are made from aerospace grade aluminum tubing, most of the time this comes with certifications that they were inspected per some specification which should catch...
That definitely looks like a fatigue fracture to me. Since you have only had the bars for less than a year (I'm assuming they were new when you bought them) that pretty much rules out low cycle fatigue due to just wear and tear alone (unless you ride like 12 hours of DH runs every day of the...
Is this race still going to be at Skibowl? Their web site has it listed (not part of the Fluidride Cup). Thinking about heading down, but I haven't seen anyone talking about it. Black Rock shuttle day is on Saturday, June 21 so I'm kind of torn.
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to delay my vacation until later in the summer. That will give me more time to get up there a few times prior and learn all the trails too.
So I'm planning to spend a week at Whistler some time this Summer. Tentatively I was thinking June 30-July 4. I could go later in the Summer, but I was hoping to take advantage of the July 4th holiday (paid holiday for me at work). For those that have been often, what is the weather like that...
What would you guys think about having an SST Flowpark web site? I'm thinking about starting something up where we could post pics, maybe have announcements like "official" work days, and really whatever else we wanted it to be. I am basically volunteering to host and manage the site on my own...
I'm glad to hear you are doing OK! I didn't see you crash, something else I'm glad about. Really good thing you had that full-face on. I'm going to re-think my decision to not wear mine. Hope to see you back out there soon (but not too soon!).
