    Heard "they" recommend...

    the direct mount bolts I would change every year (or atleast check them and if they feel weird turning they may be bent). those things take way more of a beating than you're face plate bolts. I've seen the direct mount bolts shear or bend after a bike was in a crash (and from just a landing)...

    '08 Formula K24 VS '11 Avid Code R

    Ha k24s on a dh bike and xc bike. upgraded to code r's this past fall to put the elixers on the xc rig and codes ont he dh bike and rid of the k24s. They were old and needed a full rebuild but were great breaks. However that being said the codes will blow the k24s out of the water with...

    Gwin Leaving Yeti

    woah woah woah, what kind of heinous idea is enjoying riding bikes. If you're enjoying it get off the trails and let the whiners do their thing.

    10 Speed X7 anyone?

    On road bikes I'm assuming? if that's the case, then trek, specialized, cannondale, and giant all offer 3x10 set ups for the older folks looking for fancy hybrids with drop bars.

    State of the Union: trailbikes for real men.

    Correct. So far I've counted about 11 bikes in this thread alone that fit your demands of geo, and seat tube. What you're asking for is made by a ton of companies. It's not like you're looking for a 5inch travel bike with a 65* HA and 13.5" BB, which is extremely hard to come by with a decent...

    Norcal/northstar locals and visitors: Make your voice heard

    doubt it. I would suggest a 4x course, dual is rad and all but thats not what we should set up our athletes for. 4x is stick in WC most likely so a 4x track would make more sense. The course at collegiate nats was pretty cool but I think to make it a dedicated 4x track the straight need...

    Low(er) Profile Shoes?

    i have their "basic" shoe. road probably once or twice before my shoulder surgery at a bmx track. they were rad. however after 1 week the lace eyelets were tearing out and after 3 a whole on the side (where your toes bed) started to form. about 2 months later the holes huge.

    The latest daft UCI ruling...

    yeah not going to argue but the first post says "1000 members and hardly any sigs". The way I see it is facebook is the least legit way to see if people really care, its one button and people join thousands of things for fun weekly. Signing the petition would have much better pull.

    The latest daft UCI ruling...

    if you read that site, members are great but what they really need is people to sign this: http://www.petitiononline.com/UCIrule/petition.html I just did and i was the 1100ish member on the facetube but only the 86th signature.

    DH Training, what works for you?

    I obtained some of the work outs from the MTB Strength program a while back and the strength training system made a lot of sense and was really beneficial until my shoulder exploded. However his theory of putting in "base" miles and aerobic work outs being harmful doesn't make complete sense to...

    what exactly is a 'mountain bike'?...

    I know its a little late sine you got you're bike already but here's some advice to everyone else. If you dont want something as tall as a 5 inch bike but want half decent geometry I have a 2008 Giant Trance with a 20009 RS Reba team with maxle lite. The higher fork slackened her out to 67.5...

    Windham USA World Cup…..on or off?!

    To my knowledge most course have to have some sort of UCI race on it prior to it being a WC. Also they are using some of the older course from GES/ProGRT races so yeah I would say some of it has been rode. They will most likely make a few changes though
