    Local Condition in Pisgah

    Well its time again for spring break and I was wondering what the trails are looking like in Pisgah right now. and if the parkway is open? figured it would be since no late season ice storm like last year. But anybody got any info on the trails, which are runnable, etc...(am/dh stuff)

    Riding conditions in Pisgah

    wow. wasn't expecting snow. usually when we ride for SB, its shorts and tshirt weather. I guess that'll just add to the adventure. so your saying stay away from anything on the bent creek side? What about avery creek, trace ridge, pilot rock?

    manitou swinger 4 way coil

    i got a 4way on my preston (cant remember the lb spring). as long as its in the short travel setting its fine, but when i switch it into the long travel setting it seems to blows through the travel and compress alot when just sitting on it (im 160 lbs) only bottoms on hard hits but still alot of...

    Bike Recomendations/Ideas

    Transition Preston all the way!! awesome for all mountain stuff becasue its not a long travel frame but beefy enough to take one hell of a beating. i live about 45 minutes away from pisgah so i build mine up to be an awesome "all mountain" bike. it wouldn't second guess any up or down on this...

    Great Dupont Route

    ive ridden alot at dupont and id have to say the new burnt mountain is sick! the flowy section is so fast and fun while the other side is techy and is also lots of fun. short trail but deffiently worth riding. good addition to the trails out there.

    Question about suspension

    not sure. never actually seen anyone put them on a AC. i used mine for mostly AM and some freeride so i couldn't really justify having that much travel. but if i see any ill let you know. but just a thing to check first: inspect your chainstay right behind where it pivots on the frame. thats...

    good AM/FR wheelset

    only problem with the AM wheelset is that my fork is 20mm thru axle. the AM set is only QR.

    Question about suspension

    i had the same exact bike and put a 150mm manitou travis on it and loved it. raked out the front just a bit but still ran it on xc stuff all the time and did great. way better thant he psylo. i say run something 150-160 and stay single crown.

    good AM/FR wheelset

    I finially blew up the rear hub in my rhynolite xl's and now im looking for a new wheelset. i mostly ride AM stuff so i need them to be light (atleast lighter than my current setup) but i do alot of weekend trips to bigger, gnarlier trails so i need something strong that i dont have to worry...

    Black Mountain/Swannanoa/Asheville?

    i teach mountian biking at a camp in black mountian and usually ride kitsuma or other stuff in pisgah on my day off. its a great trail as long as you dont mind hike-a-bike for the first dozen or so switch backs. climbable but id rather save my energy for the down. which is sweeet. love the...

    2006 Preston Riders - how do you have your rear shock set up? (Swinger 4Way)

    i love my coil. it so much more plush than the air. like mike said, run the 4" setting. the longer travel setting is just too squishy and bottoms easily. good luck dialing it in.
