    Shock question

    Run the shock softer for traction, and if your going to do a big hit, just stop and dial in a couple clicks of compression damping, or in your case, crank the propedal.

    michelin tire recommendations?

    I have a comp32 2.8" front, but i would say there are better tires for hardpack. Also, it strikes me as somewhat small, it measures closer to a 2.55 than a 2.8 My old WTB timberwolves were wider, and they were a 2.5.

    VP-Free sqeak?

    I rebuild my free recently, and while the bearings can be a bitch to get in without the right tool, it can be done. If you want to make it easy on yourself, stop by your local meat mart and get about 2 pounds of dry ice brick. Leave the new bearings on it for an hour or so, so they get nice...

    Lifts are to open this coming weekund.

    I searched the whole sight, but i didn't see any mention of no DH bikes this year. I will assume that they are still not allowed, but i wonder if they are allowing people to take DH bikes on the fire roads?

    well as a person that works in a shop, i would have to say go specialized. Not because we carry specialized, but because we carry ironhorse. I have seen an aweful lot of quality control related problems coming from ironhorse lately, and their customer service has absolutely sucked every time i...
