    Fluidride Enduro is on!

    Any idea what the plans are for 2011? Is there going to be another FLuidride Enduro series?

    replacing all my spokes

    The only thing your method will do is replicate the lacing on the wheel. The truing is all in the tension of the spokes so you do need to re-true it, either yourself or a mechanic.

    Shoes???

    If you are running skater shoes means you are using flat pedals. If you are staying with flats get some 5.10 shoes. There is no other way to go. The benefits from regular skater shoes is the rubber, super sticky. You will be glued to your pedals. They also have really good padding that gives...

    Hey is there somewhere to watch and follow what is going down at Sea Otter? Looked at freecaster but they don't have anything.

    Pitch Pro or Reign 2

    Both seem like great bikes. I am a big Specialized fan, but in this there is one thing that drives me towards the Giant and that is the fork. Fox FLoat with the 15QR is really nice. On the Pitch the specs don't say what the axle is so I am guessing a standard QR. That being the case the 15QR is...

    Looking to buy a roof rack for the new car

    If REI has it why not get it from them? If you are going to buy new any store will have pretty much the same price. Besides with REI's membership you'll get back that 10% next year. I also got mine off CL, and saved a bunch of $$$

    here seems to be a good and inexpensive option http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?sid=10P.AllMTN&eid=4348&menuItemId=9252 The P bikes from specialized came out as dirt jumpers, but now they have this one that has the same ideology but has a much better geometry for trail...

    Lets see you xc bikes

    My AM ride, that I love and ride 95% of the time is my 2007 Specialized Enduro S-works. And my XC race bike, that just came in 2 days ago, 2010 Specialized Epic.

    Upgrading First All-Mountain Bike

    One of the best noticeable upgrades are the wheels. Getting a lighter yet strong wheelset will really improve your ride. You will not only loose some overall weight but you will loose rotational weight. Maybe a Crank Bros iodine? Some other people know better on the subject and can probably...

    Trying to decide on a new XC race bike

    I test rode the HT, liked it but I am not sure my back or my kidneys can handle it. Trails here in the PNW are not smooth at all. Lots of roots and rocks. I know I want the Epic, because with the brain is like pedaling a HT but absorbs bumps, but is a huge difference with the HT in price.

    Trying to decide on a new XC race bike

    I need some help trying to decide on a new XC race bike. I could get pretty good deals on them so it comes down to which bike. What I am looking at is on a SPecialized Epic, or a Stumpjumper HT, either a 26" or a 29". Never really ridden a HT so makes it harder to decide. THis will be...

    what tires are you running in 2010

    I decided to buy the Minions DHF for the fron and the Highroller in the back. Loved the DHF in the front, awesome grip, but same thing I wich they were wider (I bought the 2.35) I knew they run small, but they are smaller than I thought. I didn't go with a 2.5 because since this is my AM ride...

    AM Wheelset choice

    So, I've been looking into the Crank Bros Iodine wheelset. Read really good reviews about them. I currently have the DT Swiss that came on my Specialized Enduro S-Works, with a Specialized hub in the front and a DT Swiss Custom SL in the rear. I do everything on this bike from DH to XC...

    what tires are you running in 2010

    How do you like that AM set up with the Minions and the HR? I was planning on doing it. I am in the PNW, so we get from dry to wet muddy trails. I want something grippy, that gives me confidence on the turns but at the same time that are not crazy slow.

    Tire Choice for the NW?

    I was planning on getting some 2.35 Minions for my all mountain ride, but I don't like the idea of them being narrower. What do you guys think? I want something with lots of grip but good rolling resistance, I know you have to compromise on either side but what would be the closest thing.

    Colonade

    Dang, I had no idea the nade had this problems with the homeless, that really sicks because is an awesome and unique place. I agree with them being people, and I am not going to discuss my point of view as far as them, but I don't think is cool for them to use this place as DBirds2 says. I know...
