    Advice: Race Face Aefect Straight Pull Wheel Set - Keeper?

    I need to have a rear Race Face Aefect wheel repaired or rebuilt, it has straight pull hubs and double cross lacing c. 2016. I suck at wheels so I will have to pay a shop to fix it. The only shop I trust to do it charges $45 an hour, one side will have to be completely re-laced, the other side...

    XC Light Trail Tire du jour? Fast & Grippy 2.4 / 2.6 27mm Inner Rim 27.5"

    I blew out a Specialized Fast Track today and have decided to try something with a better balance of speed and grip for the hardtail XC bike. My everyday rollers have an inner rim width of 27mm, I am considering Maxxis Rekon 3C/EXO/TR 2.4 front and rear. My spare set have 19mm inner rim...

    Help me do something stupid... replace Sid with more travel anything

    I have become dissatisfied with the 100mm of the Sid RL on my hardtail, everything else about the bike works well for me but I want more travel or a smoother fork that resists bottoming out at full sag. If I run 15% I only get about 80% of travel, 20% will get 100% of travel but bottoms out...

    Garmin Edge Users?

    I am looking to replace my 20 year old Ergo Brain. It's dead. I have been using my Garnin Fenix5 for 2 years and I like it. My basics are speed, cadence and HR so thinking about the budget Edge 130, also thinking about 530 because of all features. Most likely would not use on mountain trails but...

    New Bike Bitches.

    Complete with 4ft sissy bar and sparkle seat. As close to my first bike as I can remember. We had a plumber for a neighbor who bent me a huge sissy bar because I was the only kid on the face of the planet without one.

    Five Ten - Still the best evah?

    Its new shoe time. In the way back days of 2016 you all convinced me to go with flats . For me it was a good move. Five Ten shoes were also highly recommended so I got a pair of Free Riders which are fantastic except for the durability of the soles. About 75% of the contact area adhesive has...

    Hello Campers

    I have decided my thermal rest pad is no longer adequate or comfortable. While it does keep me warm I want something different. I know most of you are so hard core you sleep directly on the ground with no pad at all, for the rest of you, any suggestions? I'm also considering a 2 man cot tent...

    Morning Monkies! I have nothing particular to do today but up early because I ate a full pound of cherries yesterday. Not the tasteless California ones, the movers and shakers I ate were grown in Wenatchee, Washington. :thumb:

    Morning Monkies! I wasn't expecting to ride yesterday but the weather gods presented the opportunity of 55 degrees and virtually no wind, the trails were dry with only a few easily skirted mud bogs, so far as I know I was the only rider and didn't run into anyone else. I owned it, had a late...
