Not sure if it's the best design, but don't let anyone discourage you. Keep at it and try some new drafts. Perfect that sucker.
2 shocks doesn't make sense to me either.
For sure I'll be doing about 90% of the riding on my bike in the mountains, ripping it up, so I am going to need clipsless. If you were to suggest a good Times pedal, what would it be?
Lol. Ok good point. I'm not going "balls out" when I hit up the grocery store or go to a friends. I've heard a lot of good things about the crank brothers and the Candy seems like it would be the best choice for me.
Anything wrong with going with the Candy?
The reason I would get the Gravity Dropper is because I like to do Super D races and the GD would be perfect for that. I'm a DHer at heart so I naturally want to get my butt behind my seat on the DH. Maybe I just get the DH as well as Thompson?
Great suggestions on the wheels and for sure...
Great suggestions! I was thinking about going Eggbeaters, but I like some of the Time pedals just because I like the idea of easily jumping on my bike with just normal shoes and being able to pedal around if I wanted to. I would think with the Eggbeaters, that wouldn't be nearly as easy...
I thought platform pedals were the "in" thing now? No?
Just kidding. I ripped the platforms, wheels, seat post, and seat off my parts bike. I haven't decided on what pedals to go with yet. I'll be getting the gravity dropper seat post.
Hi all. Just finished building up my Turner Flux. The only thing left is the wheelset, which I'm still not sure on. I have all the parts listed with pictures here: http://www.jacobgarrett.com/mountainbike/parts.html
I'll include a list in this post:
2007 Turner Flux. Blue
2007 Fox...
Hi all,
I'm building my first XC bike (owned plenty just never built) and I'm stuck on the wheelset I'm going to get. I've got just about everything else, but I really need help on the wheelset. Currently I've been basing my ideas off of www.mtbr.com reviews. I'm not looking for the...
So I've always been on the lookout for MTB or DH posters but I've never seen any there aren't custom or that won't set me back $50+.
Anyone know of a good place to buy MTB memorabilia including posters of sweet DH riders in action?
Thanks in advance
Anyone know if a video was put together for the NORBA Deer Valley race last weekend? I know they did a sweet one for last year, but I'm not sure if anyone did one for this year. I searched the forum and didn't find anything, maybe someone can shoot a link in here.
Thanks bizutch and everyone else. I'll have to keep my progress posted on this thread. I think since this is such a common and pretty serious injury, more people will be able to use this information in the future.
Great advise. I've heard similar information. I'll apply this to get back on the bike ASAP.
I just set an appointment with the doctor that works with the Jazz, Dr Novak. I've heard that if you get a sports Dr, that they can actually make the ACL stronger then before. I'm hoping that this...
Yes the title says it all. Just tore my ACL on a jump I've done about 15x and I wasn't paying attention. Has anyone been through this? My doctor said I could start cycling (whatever that is) but I was wondering how long It's going to be until I start doing DH again. I'm utterly confused as...
Dear, nycurse2003
Please "Pimp" my bike as I have been using this old ride for decades. I think it belonged to my grandfather. My dream would be able to do something bigger then a 3' drop, maybe closer to 30'. I would also like any other accessories you could manage to put on. Weight...
