Has anyone run into issues with mounting the new M820 Saint or Zee calipers on the 2011 Fit RC2 forks?
Fox was running that 51mm IS mount that took a 160mm adapter to work on a 200mm rotor in 2011. The issue that I have with the Saint/Zee caliper is that the new calipers now use 2 very large...
I've got an RC4 hanging out here from a previous bike that I'd like to set up on my current trail bike.
My RC4 is 7.875x2.25 and my current trail bike uses a 7.875x2 shock.
If I remember correctly Specialized Demo 7's used a .25" spacer on the shock to limit the travel. Does anyone know...
This might seem like a bit of ridiculous idea but I'm after a single-speed hub that is 142x12 compatible.
I have a NOS all aluminum 8-speed cassette that I've pulled apart and had new spacers made to make that of a 10-speed spacing. I also pulled out 3 cogs to give me a total of 5 gears...
6 months ago I bought a Santa Cruz Blur TRc. I've never been a fan of VPP but after riding a friends tall boy I figured I'd give the VPP2 a try via the TRc.
I hate it. Geometry is spot on but the suspension is way too "wallowey" in the mid stroke. I try manualling and pumping rollers and...
I'm having a hell of a time enjoying cycling lately. I can't hold onto the bars. It doesn't matter if it's trail, DH, BMX or road. I cannot find relief from intense pain shooting from my finger tips to my biceps. I've tried all sorts of pain killers and anti-inflammatory meds to get through a...
My Shimano XT M765 brakes with dual 8" floating Hope rotors have finally died. They've been a good and faithful brake but I'm in need some something stronger. Unfortunately... I'm not made of money and I've got some heavy investing to do this coming year so I have to watch the funds hard.
A...
I realize theres a giant tire thread and I've gathered a good amount of information from it. However, I'd like to learn how to read tires better to get an idea of how they are going to perform prior to getting them on the trail.
I think I have a basic idea already, however... I find myself...
I know this is a long shot, but after searching Pinkbike and Ridemonkey and not finding much that fits the bill real well, I thought I'd turn to the locals.
I'm trying to get a couple of new guys into the sport. One of them is a really good friend who lost his job. I've got a spare trail bike...
So Being on the injury list I've got more time than money.
I've got a Rockshox Pro Deluxe from my 2004/5 GT DHI that I would like to get up and going. I'll end up buying a new shock eventually but for now, I want to try to get this rear shock running.
Here's what I have:
Left to...
It's time for another set of goggles. I'm looking for something that doesn't fog. All my current goggles fog up pretty bad. We ride year round in monsoons, snow, sub-freezing temps, whatever.. and with this comes fogging up.
My big issue right now is that I can't see at all and my glasses got...
Is it too early to start planning and asking for time off?
Are there any set even dates yet?
I've never done a Super D event so are all the turns and trail intersections clearly marked in the events? Are some of them the lemans and some gates?
What should I work on/plan for?
I'm looking for a fork to go on my 2010 Giant Reign.
I really want to stick with an air spring and 150mm travel.
Easy enough, the hard part is trying to find a fork that also offers a travel adjust option(even bumping down to 130 would be enough) as well as a 20mm through axle.
I'd really...
Perhaps this is a newbie-question, but I think there are a couple different theories and ideals that could relate to this subject.
I've decided to drop weight from the drivetrain on my downhill bike and upgrade at the same time.
I've never really been one to think too heavily about gearing...
I've got a 2010 Demo 8 II. I like the geometry of the bike. I'm not liking the suspension.
Everything I've been able to read has said to run a 50lbs lower spring rate than spring calculators suggest. The fast guys around here have said they;ve found the same thing on their Revolts as well...
I know that land use, trail building and ways to keep kids off trails has been discussed many times over on here. I am looking for advice on what I can do to kids/adults that are riding my pump track, tearing it up(whether with a shovel, razor scooters or rc cars) and generally thrashing my hard...
I'm looking to add a solvent tank to my garage.
I'd like to find something about 15-20 gallons with a motor that provides a pretty solid amount of pressure to help clean parts.
Seeing as this is a bike based forum and many guys here have worked in shops, are there any specific tanks that...
This build had no intention of being built "light" but I'm taking it in that direction now.
I did the current assembly with parts I had laying around or things I could order on the cheap.
As time goes I will continue to update this thread with my weight-loss progress.
Frame: Foes ProLite...
I've finally made the jump into the "ghetto tubeless" world.
I bought small bottle of Stans and set up on of my DH wheelsets with success.
I'm looking to convert 4 of my other bikes into "tubeless" setups. Stan's is a couple weeks away and I'm impatient.
Has anyone used and (with what...
This isn't exactly downhill racing specific, but rather an interest in improve my endurance and performance on each of my bikes be it road, cross country or downhill.
I'm really not sure how to use the information my heart rate monitor gives me. For example today, I did a 25mile road ride, max...
