    Disc brake adapter for post mount frame

    Thanks, so a Shimano SM-MA-F180P 20mm Post Mount adapter should work even though it was designed for the front?

    Disc brake adapter for post mount frame

    Been many many years since I got a new frame and now I have one with rear post mounts for the disc brakes. Frame designed for 160mm direct mount but can fit a 180. What adapter do I use? I can't seem to find a rear post adapter that converts 160 to 180. Do I simply use a front 160 to 180...

    Old vs new downhill bikes

    I picked up a 2013 Glory 26" and it's perfect for me. Modern geometry and was extremely affordable and the Glory aluminum builds up very light. Riding mostly bike parks the wheel size doesn't matter as much to me. If I was riding extreme gnarly terrain with massive holes and roots I think the 29...

    Colorado downhill scene - been 10 years

    My son and I are heading to Summit County next week and looking to ride. It's been a decade since we've been out there riding Trestle, Keystone and Copper. Much changed in the past 10 years? I assume Trestle is still well maintained. For reference we're New England Highland riders, haven't...

    Yes they are not accurate!

    We're both probably wrong. I said "often top 20" which was an exaggeration and you said never which is not true. She definitely would have qualified for the men's finals many many times though, not sure Rachel is in that category.

    Not Schladming WC thread

    A lot is said about how much tougher the competition is for men today than when the Alien dominated but I think the opposite is true for women, ACC had some real competition where I'm not sure Rachel has as much of that right now. Few years ago there was more but who really challenges her now on...

    Best DH build on a budget!

    Getting back into a real DH bike this year and knowing current DH prices I decided I had to go used early on and been looking all summer. First DH bike since 2006! Finally found a 2013 Glory frame in good shape but needing some TLC for $700! Had to replace all bearings and fine a shock and upper...

    Thunder mountain

    Finally made it to Thunder yesterday, great day. Lift line was nuts early on with the ESC but once race started no lines at all so ended up a great day to be there. My son got hooked on Gronk so we didn't ride much else but did get one run down Billy Badger and that was a blast too. So much fun...

    thoughts on 2012 demo 8 and 2013 trek 88

    I considered a 2-4 year old Demo or Session for a long while this summer but never found a good deal on a used frame. Most guys seem to want to sell them complete which was more than I wanted to spend and I had enough to build a 26r up. Finally gave up and opened my options up to any aluminum 8"...

    WORLDS

    And as much as I like Gwin that downplaying of Worlds is simply because he's never been able to win it. He has had bad luck at the Worlds with some injuries and mechanicals but he's also mortal when it's slick where he's apparently immortal in the dry, I'd say that he's had more than his share...

    WORLDS

    Add in 3 Jr World Champs for Nico and ACC each plus 1 for Bruni and up to 27 DH World Champs plus ACC added 4 more in Dual Slalom/4x bringing it up to 31. ACC with 16 total rainbow jerseys (13 as a Senior) is a number that nobody will ever surpass. Crazy frenchmen;)

    Paring down a bike stable

    Been through the bike reassessment several times in the past 14 years. When my son was born the DH bike was the first to go as I had a 6" FR bike at the time which was burly enough for DH when/if I ever went. DJ bike was fun to keep around as he learned to ride and got into bmx racing and DJs. I...

    Marz Moto C2R?

    Can't find much info on this shock other than it's what Danny Hart runs on his Worlds bike. Can get at pretty good pricing due to Marz unknowns. Anyone have any experience with it? Just a next gen Roco or something different?

    Decent shock for Glory?

    Most I've seen for sale don't state the shaft diameter, are all the Kashima ones the smaller shaft?
