    Sunday River Is Open Friday August 3rd

    OMFG, this rocks. Moose Tack is the greatest trail ever. I miss that place so much.

    Audi allroad

    As packed as this thread is, I couldn't resist throwing in my .02. The last 2 cars I have owned were a Volvo wagon and a Pathfinder (current). I also own a hitch rack, roof rack, and small utility trailer. Unless you own an SUV with a fairly stiff suspension, I would not recomend putting more...

    Mount Snow Ledges: Momment of Impact

    Forgot to say that she jumped right up and fiunished her run. She was racing with a knee injury but somehow avoided any additional damage.

    Sugar mountain thread #3

    Cool pics. I was in the same situation as you when I was at Mount Snow. My only finish line was the bottom of a bottle. I broke my wrist on 6/9 and the cast finally came off today. Not racing sucks but it was kind of cool watching the people I would have been racing against and getting pics of...

    Mount Snow Ledges: Momment of Impact

    This is a pick from the pro women's final. The rider is a friend of mine, Karen Eagen of the Vitamin Water team. Having the pic made her feel better about having a less than perfect race run. Resizing it took away form the resolution but you still get the idea. I've had a broken wrist (scaphoid)...

    Mavic question?

    What he said. The 321/729 rocks for an all-around DH and freeride rim. They can take a serious beating without being too heavy.

    racing question

    If you want to spend $ on somehting you might want to see if the Big Hit long travel kit is still available from Specialized. At one point it was $400 retail for a longer shock and swing link to give you 8" of travel. The geometry stays very close to stock so the 36 would be fine. Have fun! What...

    strength of qr hubs for dh/fr

    To do it on the cheap, buy a Shimano XT rear hub and put a solid bolt-on axle in it. MUCH stronger. A little heavy, but cheap and strong.

    My Trek Session 10

    What do you guys think of the Travis for heavier riders? I will most likely be getting a Session 10 this summer but have some misgivings about the fork. I weigh 225# and from passed experiences have found that Manitou DH forks may not be the best for heavier riders. If I get one I may try to...

    Need bike rack for my Honda CRV

    My gf has a Saris rack similar to what everyone os talking about. Its nice having options for hauling gear. She races DH, road, xc and Super D and I am a mechanic so its not uncommon for us to be hauling a huge amount of gear. Being able to throw a bunch of rubbermaid bins into it. Makes...

    replacing brake cable

    No problem. Without the benefit of voice inflections even the most benevolent post can come across wrong and I wanted our brake friend to know that we are trting to help him, not flame him for being new. The first set of hydraulic brakes I had were Magura rim brakes back in like 1995. I think...

    replacing brake cable

    I wasn't/am not trying to be a dick. I was lazy and didn't see that others had already pointed this out. I really am a nice guy who knows what he is talking about and am trying to help out a fellow mountain biker.

    replacing brake cable

    Everything that you linked to is in fact cable. None of it is hydraulic.

    Need bike rack for my Honda CRV

    Not trying to be a buzz-kill, but you are overlooking the fact that you are trying to put ~250#s worth of bikes and racks on the back of a small vehicle. Are you sure that the suspension can handle it? All of the weight is going to be on the rear axle, not to mention the leverage it will have...

    replacing brake cable

    No offense, but people are not going to take you seriously when you call hydraulic lines "cables". You get the "go to the LBS" response b/c it doesn't sound like you know what you are doing and people don't want you to damage your bike.

    Flick: 'Grindhouse'

    I heard a good interview with Rodriguez this morning. He said that some of the missing scenes can be attributed to the film ratings board. Instead of re-shooting, you get the start of a battle, a blank spot, then everybody is dead. Kind of like the restaurant scene in Kill Bill Vol 1 being shown...

    New Vehicle.

    So you want to sleep in it? A lot of SUV's have rear seats that pop right out giving you a ton of sleeping room. I drilled out the hinge pins in my Pathfinder and replaced them with bolts / wing nuts. The "sleeping" area went from ~5'6" (about 2" shorter than I am) to close to 7' with the front...

    I'm going to driving school!

    Learning Weight Transfer Dynamics is beyond words. There is nothing like feeling that you can't possibly go any faster through a corner only to hear you instructor saying "a little more gas, a little more gas, GIVE IT MORE GAS!". Once you understand it you feel like a rock star. There is so...
