    Morewood Izimu shock recommendation

    I weigh 225, ran a vivid air on my izimu and loved it, though I bet the CCDB air would be even better

    230lbs rider...Fox40 or Boxxer WC?

    I'm 225+ geared up, 2010 Boxxer WC, rebuilt once per season with 'proper' fluids, 2011 Vivid Air, no rebuild yet. Plenty of rocky NE downhill and no complaints about servicing or performance. My buddies with 40s service just as much or more, though my Boxxer does 'give' a bit more in...

    Hey I'm stupid and I need help

    Mine is Reba sl 2009, even when I was at 230 lbs, the guidelines seemed way too high (i.e., 50mm travel, terrible feel, worse than rigid). Regarding JonKranked's reply, I pressed button so I should have expected the stupid :D

    To get collar bone plated or not?

    I work in the medical field, as a doctor, though not a surgeon. In my observations, metal does not usually make the body better, though there are occasions when it is the best option. My advice is to get three opinions: If there's one thing two doctors can agree on, it's that the third one has...

    I'm gonna have to hang up DH.And I know I'm gonna be scared about what to do next.

    .........so, back to the original question My two cents (since you asked): If your own competitiveness is causing you so much trouble in terms of injuries and other issues, maybe its time to get a better understanding of why you need to be so competitive that you're willing to risk so much...

    Bulging disc - outcomes?

    Talk to your doctor about using an inversion table regularly to decompress, gradually, of course. It worked wonders for me, along with yoga and core strengthening. Also, if you have any weight to lose, it only takes more pressure of your spine. Stay Positive and Be Patient! Good luck!

    What? How? Colors? What do you want?

    I think the dark grey color would be sweet and offset the bright yellow nicely.I wouldn't do more than 2 colors with that frame color. Have fun!

    Diablo rumor

    No offense, but how do you know for sure? Are you yourself directly involved? I'm just wondering why there's been no official announcement about the future of the bike park. I've ridden there for years and I'm too lazy to travel any further.

    Diablo rumor

    A few monkeys have commented "don't worry" and "they'll be there next year" but does anybody know for certain what's going on as far as who will be running the mountain next season? -signed anxious DHer

    29er HT for a DH guy...

    I have a Morewood Izimu and a Banshee Paradox, both size large. They feel very similar in terms of fit, but clearly different rides. The Banshee lofts the front wheel very easily and is very "playful" to ride; it rides stiff, but does not transmit the usual aluminum vibration, been loving mine : )

    Is my SX trail scratched or cracked? Hmmm.

    I've cracked a few frames and those "scratches" sure look suspect to me.

    Are All Rigid Forks Created Equal?

    My two cents: It may be "only" rigid, but the type of material will certainly affect the fork's amount of deflection under stress (braking and rocks, etc) and level of shock transmitted to the rider. Personally, I like rigid carbon forks on my singlespeeds, exotic cycles is about $175, 215 lb...
