    Southern Super D Series - 2015

    Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I will have some traveling involved, which is expected. I live near fayetteville. Not a lot of elevation here. I was hoping that The Uwharrie was back on the schedule. and hope you take a look at San Lee Park (Sanford NC). It may have some...

    Shuttle access DH at Uwharrie

    I guess I'll stick to XC/AM when possible and race some BMX...DH isn'thappening this close to the coast Uwharrie sounded hopeful before but...

    Shuttle access DH at Uwharrie

    I wondered if something hapened to the organization of this effort. Everything seemed to stop. I live in flat Fayetteville, I guess DH will always be something that happens too far from the house.

    Shuttle access DH at Uwharrie

    I just thought I'd dig up an old thread. So I imagine Daughter #2 is keeping you busy. I have experienced some real world along the way too. Is this project still happening?

    BMX Racing Elite/AA Pro barry Nobles wins his First ever 4x Race

    Sorry Gus, no vids....Unsure about a Clayborn 4X bike bt I hope they do come up with one. Their BMX bikes are top notch, I'dlove to see RB make/market a 4X bike too.

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    That's cool, Thanks! It helps understand to some degree what I'll be riding. I don't think I'll be making a carbon frame anytime soon, I'll rephrase and say I wish to "assemble" a carbon hardtail. :D But that is awesome!:thumb:

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    Cool, babysteps... Thanks for the answers! I'm not sure if it satisfies the original question but it answered a few others that were on my mind. :)

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    Yeah that's how I understand it on road bikes. although there are still a few diehard steel riders out tere...very scant few but they are there. Litespeed Ti bikes...what can I say? Awesome! My biggest concer with carbon is not so much the punishment, but that one instant I hit a sharp...

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    No not fishing...just what it says, whats the diff in a MTB and Roadbike as carbon standards go? As for no name Ebay brands, no thanks! Don't get me wrong, I'm open to giving small boutique companies a try...I've seen some pretty trick stuff come from the little guys over the years...

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    Thanks, I've been looking on google, bing and haven't really found what I was looking for. Yeah, I understand the trade secrets attitude. That's why I was hoping someone else may have heard something. Its not that big of a deal really...Like I said, I like to know what I'm riding...

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    It is the process or the amount of materials that make the difference in weight. and I do know what carbon wrap is but thanks your response is pretty decent No, not calling carbon too flimsy to ride hard but I appreciate the head cam video of Lopes. As a BMX racer I'm not unfamiliar with...

    BMX Racing Elite/AA Pro barry Nobles wins his First ever 4x Race

    From another message board: Barry went down under to race some BMX and 4 cross in the land Down Under..... After weeks of BMX racing and clinics, Barry got to race his first 4 cross and showed them that he is a threat on any bike..... We at Clayborn are proud of him.... Great job, Barry...

    Hello, A Q about anodizing frames...

    One more consideration: If there are any steel inserts of anykind you cannot annodize the frame without removing them, i.e steel inserts used to mount waterbottle cages, tire pumps or any other type of peripheral items to the frame, or mounts for brakes, lines, cables that are steel or have...

    carbon XC Frames...What material? Durable or non Durable

    I'm on the fence about carbon. Not sure if I'm ready to cross into that realm yet or just keep riding Aluminum. I have a GF Hi-Fi Deluxe 26 in trail bike and considering a 29 inch carbon hardtail to add to the fleet But I'm not entirely sold on carbon yet. So my question is; what are most...

    Do You Have a Bash Gaurd or a 3rd Chainring?

    My trails here get pretty flat so 3 rings. However, when I was in Korea I never used the big ring on the trails. Heck, I used the granny gear there maybe even more than my 32. Heres a thought; have your cake and eat it too. what I mean is if there are places you ride a lot that need the...

    Is a Lefty Fork Worth Having a Little Bit Less in Components?

    Not knowing enough about Leftys I can't say good or bad about them. I run Fox forks whenever I can, not sponsored by them or anything, just a preference. Not too high a maintenance requirement, keep them aired up and maybe serviced with oil once a year for the most part. I'm not sure what...
