    Shaver vs Sultan vs Tracer vs Tallboy

    Looking to try a big wheel trail bike. I am considering the frames mentioned in the title: Foes Shaver 29 Turner Sultan Intense Tracer 29 Santa Cruz Tallboy LT I'm unlikely to have a chance to compare all four back-to-back. Please let me know why you would choose one of these over the...

    Any updates?

    GoPro

    The camera body has stayed the same, correct? It just looks like new accessories are being offered.

    "I drive a SUV because I feel safer in it"

    I don't want to throw a wrench into the analysis that's been going on here, but I haven't seen anyone go too deep into the typical buyer of these different vehicle categories/gvw's. Ex: the likely ages of the buyers of the three large luxury cars mentioned. I don't have any data on hand, but...

    Hammerschmidt AM vs FR

    Kntr, thanks for posting those pictures. That's close! I don't have any empirical data, but I have to imagine that frames and cranks flex enough that they might meet given such limited clearance.

    off to Big Sur for the weekend

    Nice rig! Between the angle of the shot and the size of the camper, I can't tell if there's a short bed or a long bed under there.

    this rumor again...

    Sounds like it's happening.

    So let's say I took the sway bar off the front of my truck....

    A properly engineered and R&D'd sway bar is not a band-aid. It is (in theory if not in practice) an integral, tuned and tested part of the entire suspension system as designed by the manufacturer. My understanding is that the OP has added aftermarket UCA's and coilovers to his truck. I would...

    Brewery Pr0n

    Is the LT made of wood or insulated with it or am I seeing things?

    GoPro

    Agreed. I have been trying to keep up from the coverage of CES 2011. If nothing new is announced, I will be getting a Go Pro.

    So, I need a new truck

    Did the OP buy a new truck? I just traded in a new body style, extended cab 4x4 Tacoma. It was good for what it was, but I would not buy another. As others have mentioned, the materials and construction are underwhelming. The quality/options make perfect sense when you're looking at the...

    My other hobby - Death Valley Report

    I remember seeing a link to Wander thread on here on another forum? I can't recall where I saw it. Always great to see another RM'ers other interests.

    Broken Collarbone That Won't Heal.

    I apologize for not providing a more direct response to the OP's original question. Yes, I put up with a sub-optimal clavicle on my non-dominant side for four years, and I would not recommend it. I avoided having it remodeled because of the cost and downtime. If I could do it again, I...

    Broken Collarbone That Won't Heal.

    I broke my left clavicle summer 2005 and it did heal, but incorrectly. I had one procedure in December 2005 to re-shape the clavicle and remove a bony prominence that was causing soft-tissue damage. Come June 2009, I was still not happy with the results of the surgery. I had the bone cut...

    Begginer's DH Bike?

    Making sure whichever bike you do decide to buy is properly set up and maintained is the most important part. You don't want to be waiting (and paying) for a fork to be overhauled or a shock to be rebuilt or trying to find a discontinued frame hardware kit...etc. Every system is critical on a...

    who says 29ers can't drop

    Wow, I try to stay light on smooth on drops that size on my FS DH bike. I wouldn't try a drop of any size on a rigid bike because of the shock to my joints. Ouch!

    Boxxer or Totem

    What is it you want to do with the bike? If the OP posts more information (height, weight, where ridden...etc) it would be possible to give more relevant responses. Ignoring the frame, if you want to fly in Diablo, I would go with a Boxxer, but I don't know if that's where you'll be riding...

    2010 DEMO 8 BB height

    Where can you buy a Rossi replica??? I agree with this post. When a consumer buys a bike designed to suit the personal preferences of a premier racer, they are (knowingly or not) purchasing a product thats design is dictated by the peculiarities of a top level competitive athlete. That's...

    Agassi and Crystal Meth

    I'm surprised! Was this during a period of retirement from professional competition? I assumed that something like methamphetamine would show up on a piss test, but maybe those aren't done regularly in tennis?
