    Shimano Zee cranks... good bang for the buck?

    Starting a new DH build and am unable to swap a lot of stuff over. Old bike 73mm and 135.... New 83 and 150. Trying to save $ but don't want to have it be a total budget build. Anyone have any experience with the Zee since they were released? Couldn't find much on published weights vs...

    Sinister Bikes: What's with this teaser vid?

    So I used to ride one. And a few times a year I'll head on over just to see if their site is still up. Stumbled across THIS link. http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/member/Sinister-Bikes-Spring-Shenanagins,13151/yakattack,15256 Know that a few other ex Sinister owners hang out on here quite...

    Gearing question

    Another one of those newb to road questions. Without getting into gear inches, etc. Can standard front rings be run with an 11-28 rear with a short der? Will it handle the shifting smoothly? This would be for a new, Rival group. I am used to a 48/38 and a 12-23 on my Surly Cross...

    Does your fave saddle from your mtb follow over to your road bike?

    Finding a favorite brand and model saddle that fits one's arse is a special thing. I ride trail and DH... not that the saddle on the DH is actually sat upon much... If you have a road bike as well... and aren't too serious about your road riding.... using it to help with fitness, get saddle...

    So I haven't seen this rack before...

    3rd photo down in this story about Tippie over on PB. Sure that someone will easily name it. I just haven't seen it before and was curioius. I already run a Dakine pad but the hitch rack looks interesting. Simple. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Race-Face-Signs-brett-tippie-2011.html

    Anyone remember the vid....

    A guy doing trials on a road/cyclocross frame? I seem to remember it being shot in BC Canada for some reason. The frame was modded with extra gussetts, etc.... I remember big plates added up near the HT.... I searched around on here but maybe I missed it. Thanks!

    32T anyone?

    Site lists 32 tooth Super and Turbochargers. Would really like to stick with this coverage as opposed to going bigger (34-36T) Looking for the clearance, Clarence for my AM/Trailbike needs. Logs/Rocks Can't seem to find them anywhere in this size. Would love a Turbocharger, but would...

    POC Sports gear...

    Saw an ad for them in Decline. Swedish company crossing over from snow to two wheeled sports. Anyone know anything about them? Price points that the gear will be focused? I took a look at their site and I really dig the fact that their stuff is fairly "plain" as far as solid colors and...

    Hub question....I know it's been hashed over before but...

    King vs. Industry 9? NOW, mind you, I'm NOT interested in I9's alu, straight pull spoke hub design. I'd be interested in their Classic line with traditional spokes. I currently run King Classic hubs on an EWR Woodsbike hardtail (old school "V" brake set up...Cane Creek Direct Curve 5's on...

    History rooted in trials....EWR

    Eastern Woods Research is back. Jay DeJesus relaunched the brand. EWR Bikes. Just putting an FYI out there for all of you that remember Jay and EWR's stock and mod frames of days past. (I'm still riding my Original Woods Bike frame as my main bike. Vintage 1997 and it's set up as a 1 X 9...

    Death Trilogy Trials Videos?

    Anyone remember them? Anyone have a copy (copies)? Would love to see them again! The whole Eastern Woods Research resurge got me thinking about these early vids. (Some of the riders on EWR's in the vids.) A lot of it shot right around my home area. (St. Peter's Village...St Pete!) Some of...

    Threshold Designs trials parts?

    Just wondered how many of you may have a part or two from Threshold? They're local to me here in PA. My bike isn't trials specific but it is an EWR Original Woods Bike frame (old one, not the new ones currently being made and soon to be released) and is built up burly for log/rock grinding...
