    photo retrieval from cracked Android?

    Hey guys, Thanks! I'd connected to the computer before and browsed just by using the PC window, but hadn't tried it since the screen cracked. I figured I wouldn't be able to. My husband said he tried that and it didn't work. He's more technically inclined than me, so I figured he would know...

    photo retrieval from cracked Android?

    Hi all, It's been a long time since I've posted anywhere.... but I have a question and I know if anyone can help me, you guys can. The inevitable happened and I cracked my Android phone beyond any help (after two years of dropping it, might I add - it's really quite robust!). I have...

    New 5.Spot needs fork: RS or Fox?

    Hi Guys, Bad news: My old Turner RFX was stolen. Good news: Insurance is covering a replacement bike, and I'm getting a 5.Spot. Question: Should I go with the stock Fox 32 Float 150 or request a RockShox Revolution something? What is the best choice in terms of least maintenance...

    newbie saddle help

    Hey sorry you were in so much pain! My $.02: 1. Chamois butter is a misnomer. It is not for your chamois, nor made from chamois. It's really anti-chafe cream, and should be applied somewhat sparingly on the places on your body that would potentially come in contact with the saddle, i.e...

    Group Ride/Race Clinic with Georgia Gould and Katerina Nash at Windham Mountain

    I don't know how you manage to get these amazing pros to come out to your back yard. Living in Southern California, I hardly ever wish I could be some place else, but... Wow. Tree Saw. You have an amazing team. I hope you have a great clinic!!! Wish I could be there.

    Irrational fear thread

    OO! OO! Men with hairy backs in speedos. Who sweat a lot. (yeeeeeks.) OK. SO the very worst!! A very hairy man in a speedo who has come to retrieve a fork that has fallen down into my garbage disposal. OK. I'm done playing.

    Irrational fear thread

    I'm good with heights, falling from heights, flying, snakes, snakes on a plane, needles (I'm O negative and get stalked by the blood bank)... But the one truly irrational fear I have: the garbage disposal. I have gone to the neighbor's house before to ask someone to please come retrieve a fork...

    Need Advice: Ten-minute Tune up

    Beefy, Agreed. On all points. Basic class is how to wash your bike, really. We spend a good 10 minutes on remove-replace your rear wheel. Everyone must demonstrate proficiency. Bwahahaha. I was hoping to incorporate "chain" in the "derailleur" step of the first draft. But I didn't like it. But...

    Need Advice: Ten-minute Tune up

    Hey Westy! Yes... good to be here. :) I have no idea how people with children and manual labor jobs are able to spend time here. I had much more time when I was at a desk. But I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything. I only wish I'd started sooner. Then again, I think if I had had kids...

    Need Advice: Ten-minute Tune up

    OK, after additional thought, I think I like this better: Ten-minute tune-up A-B-C-4-5 Air - Check your tire air pressure.* Brakes - Make sure your brakes are working and not dragging Chain - Check chain for dryness / greasiness. Check your cables for wear or fraying. 4mm - Check that the...

    Need Advice: Ten-minute Tune up

    That's a good idea. Question: Do you recommend XC riders keep their brakes clamped onto the handlebar loose enough to be man-handled down or up? Not loose enough to wiggle, but not so tight that it might snap the lever on impact? I've always done this for my own bikes, but I'm not sure what...

    Need Advice: Ten-minute Tune up

    Hey gang, I am teaching a Basic Bike Care Clinic at a local women's event in SoCal. The bike clinic I most often teach is a "How to Clean Your Bike" that mostly familiarizes women with the parts of their bike and gets them used to working on it. The clinic sponsors would like me to...

    Man vs Woman

    Guys: This post will discuss women-specific medical issues. Be forewarned. Metabolism is different for different folks, but for everyone it's important to stoke the engine. Age and hormone levels are often a huge factor for women. If your hormones are out of balance it will be difficult to...

    Extreme Archery

    Oh come on! Can you think of a better way to make an XC race more interesting? At first I thought: Hey! Incorporate this into DH! But you really need to maintain focus on the DH course. XC would totally work. I might even think of entering, knowing I'd have the additional challenge of...

    Hey Treesaw, is this your kid??

    Um, just like Mommy, thank you. I do most of the bike maintenance these days, and clean my husband's bike when he needs it. :) (this is my bike, though) Blog entry - Bike maintenance: So Easy, a Baby Could Do It
