Do cr-mo or stainless. It's the DU bearing that's supposed to wear out...not the bushings/top-hats. I like the old "DH" version which is not a top-hat design but a hollow pin a couple of spacers on either side. Look here at the heavy-duty kit for ideas...
Around here, we'll have idiots out the day after a pouring rain jonesin' to ride and end up rutting up the place. Signs get ignored and torn down. Even if they stay off the takeoffs and landings they'll ride thru the flats in between and rut them up. And if someone does'nt fix the ruts-they...
1st of 4 meetings -- be there or kiss your trails goodbye.
During the community meetings, a brief presentation will be given on how to access the Charting Buffalo report and how to provide comments. Visitors will be encouraged to listen to the presentation and then tour the exhibit area where...

Part of what will be turned into a freekin' detention pond:
Deluxebmx.com - Ant Hills Trails Jam Edit
The best single-track trail system and associated bicycle terrain park in Houston is slated to be destroyed and turned into flood control detention ponds (with questionable effectiveness). Many of the nearby homeowners associations are against this as the plan will destroy the remaining wooded...
You give the shuttle/me-me-me/youtube/facebook/i-do-whatever-i-want crowd way too much credit.
I'm no way a local and it sucks I have more respect for the neighbors and the trails than some of the "locals" do.

No DH bike needed. Your AM bike will be fun to ride. Plenty of XC trails--mostly tame pedal-fests. Jack Brooks has some technical features. AntHills has some fun ups and downs. Closest lift is in New Mexico or Colorado. Arkansas has some DH trails. Dallas has...
Turns-n-berms, rollers, camel-back jumps, landings into berms, nothing straight in a row, features-to-manual and pump are what I'm likeing these days. More stoked on the the g's and flow than the big-hucks and scary-gaps.
Chronsy and TT got it right--steel is a thinner wall thickness than aluminum which is the problem. I have an '07 P2 and wanted a QR on it. I tried the "off-the-shelf" sizes but they were either way too big or way too small. I took a small one and bored it out on a metal-lathe to the proper size...
I like the coil air combo. I also like the disk brake tabs. From all the skid marks I see F'ing up our trails--a lot more "riders" should invest in a front brake (some of 'em need a rear brake too).
