    Trek 88 with Woodie anyone?

    You can't go wrong as long as the price is decent (aka: you save money buying it used even after the cost of a rebuild/revalve). It's a fully custom setup shock, so as long as you're honest with your description of your own riding, it'll come back tailored to you.

    minion DHF as a rear tire ?

    The Minion DHF front and rear is a pretty good setup as most have said. A Minion DHF rear is a pretty fast rolling tire, braking (especially at higher speed) is mediocre though. It tends to slide a good bit, but doesn't ever feel like it's just going to slip out from under you. I think it is a...

    New Sam Hill Signature Tire by Specialized

    How long are these tires lasting? Considering they're $75 a piece I would expect quite a bit of longevity from them.

    DiscountedCycl

    I ordered socks from discount cycling and they came quickly. It's unfortunate to hear about the mishaps some other users have had, but like some have said, I don't think he is out to scam anyone. Hopefully things turn around in the future and everything gets ironed out, as the deals he was...

    Which DH brakes?

    I ended up getting Avid Code R's, haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but I'm pretty sure they're going to work well based on the feedback of some local guys. I'd also be interested in trying the new XTR Trail stuff, it looks real nice.

    Speed Kings Trailer

    Agreed! I haven't bought a mountain bike video in a couple of seasons, but this looks like it's going to be too good not to buy.

    2011 Boxxer Team -> WC or 2010 Totem Air with Avy cart?

    Get the avalanche cartridge for it when they're available. If you're already happy with your fork it's just going to make it that much better, and definitely better than an off the shelf boxxer damper.

    Motocross Bikes...WTF

    I've wanted a gopro for a while, this video made me buy one and a bunch of extra mounts. Can't wait for it to show up!

    brake adapters

    I'm kind of curious about that as well, I'm about to order a 35mm boxxer and I've got more hayes/avid boxxer adapters than I can count. Hopefully I don't need to buy even more adapters.

    Which DH brakes?

    The reason I didn't like the saints is mainly the servo wave levers. The way they feel, and the amount of deadstroke that they have didn't work well for me. It may be an issue with the bleed though, so I may have to reconsider them. Does anyone with formula's and small hands have input on...

    I live in Amherst, I'll keep my eyes out for them.

    Which DH brakes?

    I'd like to get some input and advice on some new brakes. I need a set of brakes with levers that get close to the bars (as close as avid juicy's or hayes mags), a good amount of power, consistent lever feel, don't fade during long runs. I have avid juicy's right now, and they fade and don't...

    Getting Started

    If you've never ridden before or only ridden a few times, I'd say just rent a bike at the mountain. At the end of the season I'd just check the classifieds here or on ebay to try to find something inexpensive. I'm not sure what's popular these days, but a couple years ago people swore by used...

    Lowest stack 1.5 headset?

    Well previously I had a very low stack height due to the E13 cups, but I think the FSA should be just as good (had to run a spacer under my boxxer crown previously anyways). I'm going to order that FSA soon though. I've got a thomson 1.5 stem, so it's 0deg rise. However, I've been looking...

    Lowest stack 1.5 headset?

    I found that right after posting, hah. Guess that is about as low as a 1.5 will get.

    Lowest stack 1.5 headset?

    I just switched from the e13 cups (using a 1 1/8 fork) to a 1.5" fork. Unfortunately that means my bars are quite a bit higher due to the FSA Pig DH headset I'm currently running. Any recommendations for a decent 1.5 headset with a low stack height?

    do you motocross?

    I bought a kx250f back in march, I haven't really gotten to ride it too much yet, but it's been pretty fun so far.
