So I bought a shock pump today and did some searching on the mtbr. forums for shock tuning tips for the bike. I also downloaded a couple of tuning guides and went home and played with it for a bit. Turns out the bike's fit with a 300lb spring. :( My fat ass sags the thing through about half of...
hahaha...I knew someone would point that out. The guy who owned it last was big into xc and had the seat set like that. I couldn't even get on it. I lowered it though and it's sweet now. The other nice thing about this bike vs. the bighit is that it has a full seatube so I can have lots of...
Well guys, just a quick update for you. Thanks for all the advice.
My new bike :D
This thing is soooooooo gorgeous. Seriously it's like brand new. I bought it off a guy who was a total bike enthusiast but was more into the XC side of things. He rode the bike a total of like 5 times then...
You can get reducer cups for the 1.5 headset to 1 1/8 right? I've been reading reviews (should call them horror stories) about how crappy the Stance is. I figure I'll use it for a bit maybe just to try it out if I go with this bike but that a fork upgrade should def. be in the bikes future. How...
Thanks for all the advice guys. I haven't heard back from the seller of the bighit yet but the guy with the ironhorse responded promptly to my email w/ pics of the bike. It looks almost brand new with just a few minor scratches here and there.
I hadn't ever really heard anything about...
ROAM was a major letdown for me. If I'd seen it having never watched the Collective, I'm sure I would have been blown away, and I was in fact impresed with the riding (obviously). That said, I watched the two films back to back last night w/ a couple of friends who had never mtn. biked before/...
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right forum to be asking this, but the downhill seems to get more traffic than the freeride forum.
Anyways, I've been riding a hardtail for about a year and a half and have gotten my skills to the point where I kind of wish I had a full suspension for high...
I'm a little confused by your response. I'm not the one selling the bike, I'm considering buying it. I just wanted to know what you guys think that this particular bike is worth. 1800 seems a little steep for a bike of it's age with fairly mediocre components (DJ1 fork, Hayes 9's, romic rear...
2003 Cove G-spot
03' Dirt Jumper I's
8" Hayes brakes
romic rear shock
thompson seat post
full XT
decent wheels (not sure on brand or model, but they looked tough)
An aquantince of mine owns a consignment based second hand sports shop and another friend who works there told me about...
River City Bicycles in Portland has an 04' 4x4 for like 1200 or something. Doesn't sound like the perfect bike for the riding you want to do, but I thought I'd let you know if you were still interested.
Two benadryl before bed? You might have a hard time climaxing before you pass out, but that happens with Tylenol PM too :P
I always wake up feeling really weird after taking benadryl and the sensation lasts most of the day. Too bad it's the only medicine that seems to work for my allergies.
Tell that to the trucks I ****ed up mobbing that road at high speed many nights in high school. I remember catching air once over one of the crests and looking out the open window and seeing the shadow of my truck below me and thinking "this is going to ****ing hurt".
I guess I'm getting old...
I think I'll be heading home (Hood River) this weekend to mob it with a buddy of mine. We'll probably be doing some shuttle runs. Look for the 4x4 yellow molester van with red and black stripes on it and/ or a white audi A4 (can't wait to **** my car up on the awesome potholes that appeared over...
Not sure if want to buy is cool here, but I really need the rear V-brake adapter/ plate thingy for an Azonic Steelhead frame (killin me not to ride my new frame) and since i'm living in Portland/ Hood River, I figured you guys might be able to help out. If anyone has one, pm me or email me at...
Been out of town for a bit, so no computer access :(
How much would either of you guys be willing to let the adapter's go for? Let me know, I'm getting sick of no rear brakes. Thanks!
Collective is amazing...Kranked5 is rad too, however I wish they'd done away w/ the super cheesy computer animated interludes and picked a better soundtrack...otherwise, the cinemetography is great.
I can't wait for Roam to come out (second movie from the Collective).
I wasn't a big fan...
Yeah, i'd assume so. I saw a pic in my LBS's catalog and it looked to be silver. Basically I"m assuming (though i've never actually seen them) that it would be some sort of plate w/ two vertical posts that the v-brakes mount to. My rockhopper had the two posts threaded into the frame, but the...
