    Carters Lake pics?

    Sam, Glad your better. WTF is a broken transverse process?? BTW, Here are a couple of complilations videos from Carters Lake DH #3 that Tracey shot. http://www.vimeo.com/2170819 Race runs. Mix of 1st half of 1st run, and 2nd half of 2nd run, Intermediate & Open only...

    Carters Lake pics?

    Thanks, Mike. Sorry to hear the arm is bad, Jeremy! Tracey was worried about you all day, and even Monday, she was asking if I'd heard anything. Hope it's just some muscle soreness. Go straight to an ortho and have them check it out!! Brandon

    Crow's Foot Lacing for DH?

    I completely blew up a set like that on a SS 29er. Started popping spokes (to the tune of 1 or 2 every 40 miles or so) after the first 500 miles. they'd break right at the center. The wheels are NOT any stiffer than a properly tensioned wheel, FWIW. Looked cool, started conversation, but not...

    Good day

    Yep, that'd be her. I think I'll hold on the suggestion. Looks like she's gonna be putting in a ton of miles on the trainer over the next few months!

    Good day

    Thanks man, and thanks for the tips! We're finally back in the ATL. The ride SUCKED, but I'm glad it's behind her. She's not thrilled with joining the "collar bone bump club". She's feeling better tho, and still stoked about her new (to her) Demo. B

    Good day

    Thanks for asking. The little lady, my lovely bride, suffered a broken collar bone, 2 dislocated fingers, and probably a mild concussion, based on the nausea and headache she's been suffering for a day or so. They admitted her to the hospital, and still haven't released her due to the nausea...

    LBS close to Diablo?

    we're in Oak Ridge, and like to check out LBS when we're vacationing. Since Diablo isn't gonna be open until Sunday (if at all....), thought we'd check some out. I'm in need of some padded DH shorts, but generallly, just wanna look around. Cycleworks is where? B

    LBS close to Diablo?

    Hey guys, What's the best LBS close to Diablo that's open on the week days? Would prefer a Gravity-oriented one, not a roadie shop. Thx.

    Thanks Diablo. Where on the diablofreeridepark.com page will it be posted? Any thoughts of opening Friday PM? :-D

    Snowshoe DH #3 pics - BW HOG

    The wife and I drove up from Atlanta for our first DH race at Snowshoe this weekend. I guess it was my second DH race, if you count the first Carter’s Lake race, but that’s a 1:40 run time vs. a 6+ minute ride time... We got there Thursday LATE and rode Friday, Sat, and raced Sunday. We...

    Enduro Fork Seals?

    Did you put them in the freezer before installing them? You may want to try a long PVC pipe just larger than the stanchions to "gently persuade" them to seat.

    A LBS Mechanic's Ranting

    None of the LBS in my area carry DH gear, and I work on my bikes almost exclusively. Still, given the chance, I'll buy stuff from my fav LBS first over online stuff. Most of the time, they'll do price matching, but they don't usually have it in stock. If they don't have it in stock, and I...

    New Bike and I'm a Noob

    What they said, but it looks like you have too much of a gap between the headset and the lower spacer. Make sure to tighten the top bolt prior to the stem bold.

    MMA fans: What is the deal with TapouT?

    Ah, Tapout's good stuff. They're promoting product, sport, and their fighters quite effectively (as evidenced by the discussion on a BIKING forum). Personally, I like seeing the up-and-coming fighters fighting in the little hole in the wall places more than seeing the bigger names fighting for...

    Rim recommendations?

    Thanks for the vote. Others? Now I'm also thinking Stan's Flows, and if I destroy them, rebuild with 729. Should use the same spoke length and nipples.... Thoughts?

    Rim recommendations?

    Going to be building a rear wheel for my Bullit on an CK 150 hub, and am wondering what rim recommendation you guys have for ATL area riding. Mostly planning on heavy XC / All Mtn / lite DH, so I want a lighter weight wheelset. Thinking DT Swiss 6.1D or Mavic 823. The web shows the 823 as...
