    Need a shop recommendation for Encinitas/Carlsbad area

    I'm looking for XC style as it's the first ride since my injury and I'm on a new bike (to me). I'll stop by Leucadia tomorrow and see what's what. If they can't do it (or won't do it soon enough) then I'll call up Amazon. Tks for the tips

    Need a shop recommendation for Encinitas/Carlsbad area

    Clipless for DH

    I have a tendency to hang my right foot out in corners so I use a tow-clip and duct tape to hold my right foot on the pedal. I also run no pedal at all on the left thus allowing me to properly Flintstone through rock gardens. Oh... and I use these:

    How do your local gas prices compare?

    Gas at my local pump was $4.02/gal today. Oh... and Canada is supposed to be a net exporter of oil. We export crude to the U.S. then buy it back in refined form... which makes the cost of gas at the pump even less reasonable. But at least the government is happy since they're making tax as a...

    any one here ever organize a DH race?

    dhkid, even if you get everyone to sign something like that you can still be sued for negligence, i.e. someone impaling themselves on a metal course marker.

    My 2008 Turner DHR (Hopefully)

    I've heard terrible things about those rims for DH, but I've always been partial to frenchy rims (Mavic).

    DH racing technique tip

    I usually make the decision based on the terrain I'd clear and what sort of terrain I have to look forward to once I get the wheels back on the ground. Also, if you're gonna try and "jump" a rock garden you better clear it otherwise you're in for a good rattle when you make contact.

    Racing Toolkit's

    Anyone know of a good soft-style tool box for a race weekend? As for your topic, I base my kit on a few questions: 1. How far away am I going to race? 2. What is the weather supposed to be like? 3. How close is it to bike shops? 1. If a race is really close to home I usually don't take much...

    We rode Rainbow in 2005, can't vouch for whether it's still open to riding or not... someone else would probably know better. Sorry, but I can't remember how much it was.... there were 10 of us that went and it wasn't cheap but it was an awesome experience. I think it may have been near...
