    Specialized Pitch experience?

    Yeah the pitch is at the top of my list for trail bike frame for this year, I'd love the spitfire but gota watch the $$$. Reason the pitch has won out over other frames is that you can get a complete for the same price as a "good" frame, its pretty stout, has great geo and it takes a 7.875"...

    Suspension setup and spring rate survey

    This is kinda crazy. Pretty much exactly the same bike/rider weight. I have maybe 10 pounds on you (190ish). the frame came with a 450lb spring which felt super plush but I was also dragging my pedals on the ground. Running a 550lb was much better, but had to run a lot of preload to get the...

    Duno, I enjoy working on my bike or building trail almost as much as riding, to me enjoying mtb includes everything needed to make it happen, you need a trail, you need a bike, and then you can go ride. Nothing quite like shredding trail you dreamed up on a bike you built :)

    29.76 lbs Trek Session 88

    Only one 4 wheeled vehicle has won the overall baja1000 since 1973 :thumb: Not sure about other desert races... I guess it depends on the course... I like dirt bikes :) (ps all my desert race info is from dust to glory, since that movie running the baja1000 in some way has been added to...

    29.76 lbs Trek Session 88

    Unless you ride your bike with your arms rigid and your a$$ planted on the seat, the whole bike is "unsprung mass", attached to a secondary set of unsprung mass (bikes suspension). Its pretty simple... pros and cons... no right or wrong...unless you race, then the clock is right. A heavy...

    10 Speed X7 anyone?

    Bit late, but if SRAM wanted to get the OEM's to move to 10spd, that's easy, make it cheaper than the 9spd. $$$ is king and kids will still buy the bikes and the 9spd is so 2009, 10spd is the money peaty is riding it marketing will beat the 10 people e-arguing here... (gona keep reading...

    Helmet cams on race runs banned?

    maybe its less to do with safety (as mentioned what about chest/frame mount?) and more heading toward who has "rights" to the resulting video footage?

    Specialized SX Chunder on 08 SX Trail I

    I would say he sent him the right tires, since he only had one pair to send :) He may however have not provided accurate information, but if pix of labels were included in transaction then buyer has little recourse. IMO if dude had said straight away that they weren't what he was expecting...

    Car problems, battery keeps dying!

    If the alternator is dead and not charging then you would notice it most when driving, since thats when the most load is on the electrical system (ignition, DRL, stereo etc), the battery would die pretty quickly, esp driving at night. If the battery dies when the car is not running there is...

    can hardtails downhill

    I just saw this thread, I never knew about the HT law!!! Is this provincial legislation in BC only or is it Canada wide? I'm asking because I was about to ride a HT, but we all know that ignorance is no excuse when it comes to legal matters so I don't want to risk it. I'll call my lawyer...
