    Post your dumbest MTB related injury.

    Riding home on my 24" dirt jump bike at night coming round a corner I bunnyhopped a small concrete ledge as I had done many times before. What I didn't know was that someone had put up a metal fence just behind the ledge to stop cyclists from taking that route... Hit the fence mid air. Wen't...

    Post your 2012 Rides!

    Norbar: No. Sadly not that I'm aware of. And now I can't even find the complete bike on the Mongoose website either. :confused: Maybe Dorel didn't want it to compete with simliar offerings from GT... I dunno.

    Post your 2012 Rides!

    Haha, yeah, I'm going to have to look into that... It's a long seatpost, but looking at the picture I'm starting to doubt it's that long. Might have to get used to sitting a bit lower even for the xc stuff. But, as long as the post goes below the top tube everything should be alright. I'm a...

    Post your 2012 Rides!

    My "do it all"-bike this season. Fast on the xc-stuff, fast on the dh-stuff, agile on the technical trail stuff. Perfect except for being a bit unforgiving when I mess up. Mongoose Nugget with Marzocchi Roco LO Marzocchi 44 RC3Ti Mavic Crossmax ST Gravitylight cranks with Gamut (I...

    Vivid Coil shock

    I tried it, won't work. About 1 cm too long.

    US Open Gee Atherton inverted fork

    Interesting fork... More interesting to know what's inside than what the outside looks like though. The intro of Chainreaction 5, classic.

    Sexy TW catalog bike makes another appearance

    Yup, some obvious differences there. I mean, just look at the orientation of the ISCG tabs! :D

    Sexy TW catalog bike makes another appearance

    Ah, yes, the AluMate. What's up with the secrets and marking over the name on the frame? Anyone with half decent google skills and 5 minutes to spare can find that one...

    Aftermarket brake pads

    Been riding Baradine pads this spring to test them out. Nothing to complain about, they perform just as well as the original Shimano pads in all aspects and cost about half as much at my lbs.

    DHX 4.0 bottoming out (IFP-depth)

    I'm very happy with how my rear suspension is behaving 95% of the time, though sometimes when I mess up and 50/50 gaps, smash too hard into rock sections or just land heavy after a drop I bottom out a bit too hard for my liking. Since I don't want to mess up any other settings, I just want to...

    29.76 lbs Trek Session 88

    What the hell? It's a bike, it works for Cyklist. Why the **** do other people have to bash it? It's a light bike. End of story. Be happy someone is pushing the envelope a bit!

    Canon 7D

    Looked in to it, histograms look fine though a bit biased towards blacks. No lost details etc. so really it's a non issue and might actually be user error - that's why I asked about any setting that might cause it (highlight priority and what not...I don't know, didn't spend that much time...

    29.76 lbs Trek Session 88

    Just plain awesome. May I do a lap or two at Gesunda with it? I'll bring my own broom. ;)

    Canon 7D

    Just starting to grasp how mine works, dang it's good. Anyone else suffering from the camera constantly under exposing pics? Exposing after the built in meter causes very dark images in auto, P, Tv, Av and Manual with all the lenses I've tried on the camera. Is there any setting I should...

    Photo critique site?

    Oh ****, I messed up, got som pats on the back on Swedish sites, "good job", very minor things, etc. Posted on ASCartel confident about the pic, holy crap... I was cut down quick. Great critique though. I guess I'll take what I learned, take some pics over the coming months and then post up...

    Photo critique site?

    Damo: Ah, looks like a good site. Not much activity though? But, rather quality than quantity I guess... Might just pay the 5 bucks and join. Posted two pics on POTN and then looked around a bit more, damn, it seems to suffer from the uninspired macro shot and garden shot disease just as much...

    Photo critique site?

    I do shoot Canon so I prefer Canon fanboys over the Nikon equivalents... :D I'll go have a look at POTN now. Any other site I should check out?

    Photo critique site?

    I hope this is in accordance with the forum rules... Anyhow, I'm trying to up my game a bit photography wise, however most photo critique sites I've looked into seem to suffer from the "oh my god what a cute kitten"-syndrome. Hence my question: Does anyone know of a decent forum, or website...

    Post a photo! Potentially NSFW.

    Quite happy with how this turned out, anyone got input on it? Trying to improve my photography...
