    Alpharetta/Roswell GA - Looking for Light DH bike to rent (5"-7") cash

    The slalom race was so delayed (took ~5 hours) that I missed picking up his bike at Magic in Boone. Either way, very cool of both of you to offer. I'll be back up next spring for more DS/DH racing at Beech.

    Alpharetta/Roswell GA - Looking for Light DH bike to rent (5"-7") cash

    Wanted to thank drewd299 for loaning his bike and making arrangements at the local bike shop for me to pick it up. Seriously cool. Thanks.

    Alpharetta/Roswell GA - Looking for Light DH bike to rent (5"-7") cash

    I'm headed to the Lees-McRae Collegiate race in Banner Elk this weekend and need a light-duty, medium-sized DH bike. Anyone willing to loan theirs? I earned a silver in Cat 2 DS at Beech Nats last month, so I'm not some hack who will trash your bike. Willing to pay $50 cash for the weekend...

    Beech Mountain DH and DS Qualifier

    Results are posted this afternoon: http://www.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2011-2901 Not sure why some have points, some don't and why juniors are mixed in with Cat 2 and Cat 3 results. USAC told me that the Nats DS Qualified Riders list will not be updated until tomorrow afternoon (24hrs...

    Beech Mountain DH and DS Qualifier

    Do we have an ETA for the results to post on USA Cycling for the DS? The DH was posted almost immediately. See you guys again in a few weeks.

    Beech Mountain DH and DS Qualifier

    The USA Cycling rep mentioned at reg before the DS on Sunday that if you qualify on a one day, you'll need to buy an annual license and then have USA Cycling connect your qualifying result to it. Otherwise they don't have a way to link the rider to the result. You also had the option of filling...

    Beech Mountain DH and DS Qualifier

    Will see you guys Sunday for the DS race. Haven't raced in 10yrs (Plattekill 2001), but it's sure to be a blast.

    Looking to ride the DS you built at GIHP in prep for GTech race in Fall. Course still open?

    ExtremeSupply.com > Bad Svc

    These guys seem to offer really low prices on Troy Lee DH helmet closeouts. Their site lists way more inventory than they actually have on-hand, so it's a crapshoot. Too good to be true. Good luck trying to reach anyone by phone to cancel your order. 25 phone calls, 4 VMs, 5 emails to finally...

    Should big bike brands adopt less frequent updates to their bikes?

    Guess kindergarten let out early today. Hope he gave you the happy meal you asked for in the back.

    Should big bike brands adopt less frequent updates to their bikes?

    Surprised you could spell jargon. Don't like it, take your own advice.

    Should big bike brands adopt less frequent updates to their bikes?

    Not sure why this just occurred to me, but I question the business sense of releasing slightly updated bikes each year at Interbike. Often the 'new' model is simply a different paint scheme and slightly revised parts mix. Where's the innovation? Brands like SC, Intense, Yeti and other smaller...

    SC Jackal vs Yeti DJ - Suggestions?

    ZoRo - Congrats on the 2nd place finish. Great looking ride too.

    SC Jackal vs Yeti DJ - Suggestions?

    Sound like my wife...LOL :weee: Thanks everyone. I think the Jackal is the way to go for now. I even tried to price the same exact kit the Jackal comes with for the Yeti, but still several hundred more expensive. I still find it ironic that the Jackal is billed as a DJ bike, while the DJ...

    SC Jackal vs Yeti DJ - Suggestions?

    I'm looking to purchase a new 4X/DS bike for local riding and have narrowed it down to the 2010 models of the Santa Cruz Jackal and Yeti Dirt Jumper. The eventual plan is to ride/race the bike on a local DS course and BMX tracks. It's unlikely I'll get back into true DS/4X racing. The...

    Old School Rules

    We'll call this 'mid-school' Image 1: MCS '88? - Fresh from under the Xmas tree. Stolen about a month later. Image 2: Robinson Pro - Insurance replacement - at Daytona, FL Image 3: Christmas Classic '89 or '90 - Eric Cunningham way faster than me. Randy Stumpfhauser was also in my main doing...

    Rocky Mtn Frame Size Question

    I'm looking at either the 08 ETSX or the 08/09 Element. Standover height is 31.2in for the 16.5" frame, which seems odd to me. Their 18" is almost 32.5". My inseam (no shoes) is 30.5. I've had a medium FSR-XC, 18" Stumpjumper, Medium San Andreas, so 16.5" seems like a micro-bike...

    Blackspanker = East Coast?

    Anyone find it odd that two 'different' members posted the same exact ad and photo? Seems fishy to me. As Blackspanker http://www.ridemonkey.com/classifieds/cat-2/ad-8163/ As East Coast http://www.ridemonkey.com/classifieds/cat-2/ad-8147/
