Hey dudes, so yeah I was recommended to this site by some of the guys over at sport chalet when I was buying the third set of pads I had worn out in two months whoops crash.
So I live w/ my best friend and he's been a rider for a long time and I've never been that into it. Started a little bit ago w/ an 06 Kona Kula and now tossed all that XC stuff on a 05 Kona Stinky Primo. Its kinda heavy now but is super fun on the drops and dh's. I'm still riding on the Marz. gran fondo 1 105mm fork that came on my old ht bike so its a little, um, "unballanced" if you will. I am getting like 7+ inches of rear wheel travel to 4 in front. I do a lot of climbing so someone recommend me a fork that doesn't weigh 7+ lbs. I'd really really like to not have to spend the money for the whole axle thing too, if possible.
Anyway here are some pics of our rides so far. We've done Hoyt, lowe, the wilson shuttle, and we live right next to brown/prieto so we do that 3/4 times a week. With school and work we have to ride at night mostly, so we've got Light n Motion HID's in place of that old ****astic niterider ones.
Comments welcome...
