I am no suspension guru, but I thought the main benefit of a remote resivoir on a shock was to provide a higher oil volume. The increased volume decreases fading under high cyclic loads, due to heat and cavitation, and therefore provides more consistent dampening. When comparing a Float CTD and...
We Stashed a Blue Ellsworth Joker w/ silver swingarm, Avy rear and Marzhocci front, in the bushes across the road from Moto (where everyone parks) on Saturday. Went to retrieve last night (yeah it we forgot it)around 9 and it was no longer there. Hoping anyone knows it's whereabouts?
Ok so now that I got your attention, I would like to suggest adding some relevant stickys to the DH forum? Tuning/FAQ sticky's for the RCX4, DHX5, Boxxer, Vivid, DH40 would be awesome. Using the Search Function is time consuming, but most of all wading through a bunch of idiots replies who seem...
Gonna be up there this weekend. . Not a big fan of Lift riding when it's wet and cold out, as your bike gets thrashed and you can't see after a few runs anyway. Looks like mixed rain/snow Saturday and slightly better on Sunday. We will ride XC Sat then Downhill on Sunday
Any recomendations...
Looking to trade My Medium 2008 Iron Sunday frame color white for a size large Sunday frame. It's a but scratched up from shuttling but in otherwise good shape.
Thanks

When overtaking a slower rider, always wait for them to pull over before passing.

Saw a Bobcat about halfway up the fire rd on Tiger Mtn this morning. I got w/in 100ft of it before it hopped off the rd. At about 30lbs it definitely was a man eater!
Just found out an old friend of mine went missing last week. She is a sweetheart. I hope everything is ok.

Need help deciding which to rent for a day, a Bobcat or a 30 hp Kubota, both with buckets in the front. My goal is to get a big pump track and DJ line roughed in and some trails started in the 25 acres out back. There is a dirt source a little ways from the pump track, and I can push some dirt...
Went to Tiger to get a quick lap in tonight and was turned around by a sheriff (who said it will be closed tomorrow as well). Sounds like a horrible deal. Prayers go out to the family. http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=157753.
Getting my ass handed to me by some of the local pros on some XC rides around here recently, got me to thinking. I thought of all the guys who are faster than me and realized, they are also faster XC riders than me, and would probably be faster at a road race, or any type of bike racing that...
FYI for all those planning to race in Canada this year, looks like you will need a $150 UCI license. No More one day licenses, but the UCI will cover your Norba license as well.
Need a little help on deciding which race to attend. I have never participated in either, but was at the Otter for work 2 yrs ago. The DS course looked super fun, but I wasn't stoked on the DH course. I heard the Sonoma DH was a bit better, and they are having DS plus 4x as well. Any thoughts?
Saw an add for a new Movie in Bike Magazine called Elemental. Release is listed 10-1-06. Strobel and Northern are listed as riders and DHZ is a sponsor? Anyone got any info, website not working.

Frames broken=0 Cracks don't count imo
Handlebars busted=1 carbon dh bars snapped in half
Forks busted=1 Boxxer explosion lowers and...
Anyone been to a Shimano clinic lately? I am going to order up another set of Shimano D-brakes and am getting confused!
Besides asthetics, does anyone know if there are any mechanical differences between the Deore, LX, XT, and Saint hydro brake levers?
The calipers are grouped Deore...
