    Any alternatives? Or is this the right bike for me?

    What's your budget? Money no object I'd say you should go with the Scott Genius LT 20.... that would make me need new pantaloons.

    Frame life

    That's like asking how fast will it go. The answer is 7. No but seriously that's not too terrible of a frame for pure xc. That was the first bike I really rode and its still the backup/loaner bike for our group. It went from having the ****ty dicks sporting goods components (low level shimano)...

    Worst Trends in biking

    When I say "road biking spots" I mean designated paved bike paths and places where it is safe to ride. It sucks to hear but I really do think its necessary. When it comes down it it, motorists will always be idiots when cyclists are involved, people just SUCK with operating motor vehicles in the...

    Worst Trends in biking

    My personal hated trend: road biking. It should only be legal to ride in bike lanes or on roads with a shoulder more than 4ft wide. Those spandex dickheads should have to do what us MTB guys do, load your bike onto the car and go to the riding spot. I mean really, when it comes down to it even...

    Bike gifted to me, what do I have?

    I have one currently (still running great from 02) and have replaced everything on it besides the raw frame components. They are pretty nice bikes, especially when you get them for cheap haha. I only run mine in the 6" travel mode though.

    Putting a flatbar on

    Yeah you'll just need to make sure you get a right-handed wrench or else you won't be able to get the correct torque.

    How close is close enough (shock hardware measuring)

    Ok cool, thanks guys. I figure worst comes to worst I just send the dimensions of the hardware that I'd optimally need to the machinist and just have him make me some custom shiz.

    How close is close enough (shock hardware measuring)

    Ok so this is my first time putting a new shock on a bike; so if i sound like a noob at this, I am. I have a giant ac1 and am trying to put a dhx 5.0 on it, having a bitch of a time getting the hardware for it. I called giant for their opinion and they basically told me it would be easier to...

    Why SS?

    It's just a vcompletely different riding style then with gears, you gotta pay a lot more attention to the trail when you ride. It all comes down to keeping your momentum; never using your brakes, pumping every little hill, making sure when you jump a log your back tire boosts off it as your...

    Question about atomlab pimp rims/hubs

    I bought mine secondhand from someone and they are set up for qr right now but my new rig has 20mm front. Just wondering what I need for the conversion up front, atomlab's website is not very helpful and google searches haven't really been productive. Thanks!

    Your most-hated recurring injury?

    My knees are always ****ed, I've walked off stress fractures in both of them and my ankle so every once in a while they just kinda go crazy with pain when I land off of a jump a little off. That any my left shoulder seems to be a tree magnet, cool looking scars and bruises though.

    Anyone from DC/Baltimo heading to Ray's?

    I live in the baltimore area, I've been trying to go to rays for a while. Though I'll probably just rent a bike there, they have some nice ones for pretty cheap (plus then i don't have to worry about my bike on the rack for 6 hrs up there and 6hrs back). If anyone else is going I'm down to split...

    Motorcycles at the trails

    are you talking about 7 courts? I noticed you said suburban md, I was back there today just seeing how they survived the winter and noticed some dirtbike tracks. I second the booby trap notion. Edit: if it is pm me I'm definitely down to stomp him next time hes there, I live pretty close...

    Les Stroud vs Bear Grylls

    les stroud for real and useful survival strategies, grylls for badassness. Though I think they should change grylls' show to him getting chased across various terrains by commandos/terrorists/police/bears/penguins to see if he can get away.
