    Stripping paint of frame

    Thanks everyone. I will try this. Probably do it myself first, but if it doesn't work will take it to a paint shop like mentioned by 'thad'. I think I am going to see what it looks like just 'raw'. I assume polishing is needed - which is fine, but what about 'clearcoating' or something? Once is...

    Stripping paint of frame

    Yeah its new. I know it voids the warranty, but I am ok with that. I was given it - and have ties to the company so no worries in that regard. Just hate the color... Will leave it raw or maybe have it painted some normal color and put manufacturer stickers back on.

    Stripping paint of frame

    Hi, Maybe this has been covered recently - but I am just checking for updates. I have a new Aluminum frame I want to strip the paint off. I love the frame - HATE the paint (yes silly I know). So once all the headset cups and pivot bearings and stuff removed - what is the best process to...

    Eastern DH Road Trip Help

    Group of guys from Ontario planning a short trip. Plattekill-Mt Snow-Killington-Whiteface. Now I have ridden Plattekill and Whiteface, and loved both. I am the only one. Are Mt Snow and Killington worth a day each, or should we just do 2 days Plattekill-2 days Whiteface? Anyone make...

    '12 Avid Elixir 9 VS '12 Shimano XT Brakes

    I know these are 2012 brakes, but think they were available last year. Anyone have opinions/experience on either and/or both?? I know XT has new ICE rotors and finned pads that supposedly work, and Elixir 9 has new bladder in internals to make them more reliable while still remaining...

    One Ghost Musashi

    Hey blackohio. Sorry for your stretch of bad luck - would love to see what your final build looks like and how it rides as I am stil undecided. Can I ask what size you are building up... Is that a large?

    One Ghost Musashi

    Hmmm. Mixed thoughts/reviews... Although really few on mountain ride reviews. How about issues/breakage/problems. If not alot of riders with seat time - any friends say they have issues?

    One Ghost Musashi

    Anyone with ride time on these? Looking at the new one, the green/white/black. So difficult to find information. The owner of OG (DM) has been great and answered all inquiries - but can anyone independant give a review? Really like the idea behind it - but how does it ride? Thanks

    Ontario DH Endurance Race

    Hi, Last year I managed 29 total, with a major mechanical... Just shy of 3 an hour. Just about 22000ft total. This year I am going to be better prepared, gunning for 34 runs this year! That would give me the win!!

    '09 VS '10 Boxxer Team

    Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the '09 and '10 Boxxer Team? New bike options (same model), virtually the same spec's other than the fork. Only slightly more for the bike with the '10 Boxxer, but the bike with the '09 Boxxer looks better... Thoughts, worth the few extra...

    Mongoose Boot'R Romo

    Hi everyone. For those who like the 09 and 10 Mongoose line up - I agree! I live in Canada, and SportChek up here is carrying some of the high end Mongoose stuff! It is so incredibly priced for the spec's you receive! The 2010 Boot'r Team is around $3000! Thats a steal when you compare part...

    Endurance DH Race

    Hi, Last year several of us got together and had this race... What do people think? Any interest in trying to do this again this year in Eastern Canada or NE US? 2011 Eastern Canada/North East US DH Endurance Championship?? Sounds good! It was awesome fun - but very very draining. Easy...
