    29.76 lbs Trek Session 88

    Nice build! I've built a lot of wheels off of Tune King/Kong MK hubs and they're bar-none my favorite on the market right now. The only thing I'd change would be to offer them with aluminum freehub bodies - Tune insist on shipping them only with Ti ones and it drives the price up :(

    How long until we see Di2 on a DH bike?

    Campagnolo just needs to buy Formula and release a MTB group already :(

    It's time the rest of the bike industry gets behind this

    how is it even a bike? It has neither pedals nor wheels. It's just a springy chair with some handlebars.

    Leopard Cycles recruiting SoCal riders

    Hey guys! I haven't posted here in ages, but I've got an offer that I think is relevant - I'm working for Leopard Cycles (www.leopardcycles.com), and last year we came out with a 26" carbon hardtail MTB. I've been tasked with recruiting some XC racers to sponsor, so towards that end I'll be...

    Wheel Build/Spoke Tension ?s

    I'm going to be lacing up a pair of the new Stans ZTR Crest rims to a pair of Tune hubs in a couple weeks using their new lefty hub. My last bike had DT Revolutions, but this time around I'm thinking of using Sapim CX-Rays.

    Guidance on Getting into XC [again]

    I actually raced XC for the UCSB team this year, but as I'm graduating, I won't be around in the fall. All in all, the UCSB mountain team are a great bunch of guys, the conference is fun, and I'm sure you'll have a great time. As far as getting a bike goes, I would ride what you've got until...

    XC-specific pump track?

    Hey, I've recently taken to riding my XC bike on the local pump track to help hone my handling ability, and it got me to thinking about how the concept of a short technical track could be better adapted to XC training. At present, my idea is to make a track similar in layout and size to the...

    Collegiate Racing

    In my experience collegiate road racing is a much bigger affair than collegiate mountain, so be prepared for the inevitable afterbirth of the decision to race collegiate (buying a road bike). I wound up doing that and having no complaints, love my De Rosa.

    A few more "New" Karpiel Armageddon pics.

    looking good, the new decals are very blah though. The originals had this very clever, euro-modern look that went well with the bike. These plus the 08 marzocchi graphics make me puke a little bit in my mouth.

    Here It Is!!!!!!!!! A Karpiel Sneak Preview............

    I like how everyone is arguing about patents even though this isnt an industry board and are thus completely irrelevant. PS can these be had with the old-school Karpiel decals? those looked much better.

    The fate of a 10 year old DH rig...

    nooooo that bike was a celebrity on the forum :(. on the bright side though, BTI just started distributing Commencals, so if you know anyone who works at pretty much any bike shop ever, you can brown nose your way to a Supreme DH for pennies on the dollar.

    FSA's - wider is better policy

    I used to have some old azonic bars that were completely gargantuan. It was pretty much like driving a bus.
