    Easton Haven Carbon 29er wheels on Chainlove for the next 15 min

    Seem like a really good price for carbon rimmed wheels from a reputable manufacturer. Hope this helps someone out (I am still on my archaic, 26", aluminum rimmed wheels).

    Qr15

    This carnage is pretty crazy but I'm guessing (based on the number of loose front wheels on the ground) that this could have been avoided if they were using QR15 wheels...

    RS Reverb

    Anyone know what the black alloy piece that comes with the new Reverbs does? It was in the same bag as the "enduro collar". Kind of looks like you could use it to guide the hose but I don't see why they'd make it out of metal. Thanks.

    Revelation RLT Ti vs 44 RC3 Ti

    Hey guys, Looking to get your opinions on a Pushed 2011 Revelation RLT Ti versus a 2010 Marz 44 RC3 Ti. I currently have the Marz mounted but only get like 4, 4.5" of travel (it's a bit oversprung for me with the stock coil and replacement coils are PRICEY). Obviously I can get the spring...

    Commute Thoughts

    Hey, Trying to figure out whether or not this CAR commute makes sense and thought I'd solicit and help and thoughts of some monkeys: South San Jose (near the south 85/101 junction) to Oakland (probably drive to Fremont, then BART it in, guessing 1.5 hours each way). I used to do...

    2010 Marz 44 rc3 ti...

    Hey guys, I have the opportunity to pick up the above fork for a good deal. Wondering if anyone has any ride time on one, or any 2010 Marz stuff in general. Haven't heard too much about them lately. Is it a good upgrade over an older Pike dual air (which has been a good fork to me for 3, 4...

    Fibrax line issues?

    Hi guys, I replaced the hydraulic lines on my Avid Juicy 7's early this past summer with Fibrax SS lines. I have since been to Mammoth and done a summer's worth of riding. I haven't been riding this winter but once in a while I give the brakes a squeeze just to keep things moving...

    Can someone tell me why

    This is a bit of a rant and a bit of a question so here goes: Driving back from Montana de Oro after riding. The road is quite narrow, twisty, trees on both sides and hilly. So basically visibility sucks. I come up on two road riders riding double. Okay fine. No problem. I've ridden...

    Just curious

    I'm really hoping I'll get all sorts of super sarcastic remarks and responses about how dumb this thread is. So everyone is always talking about bike weight but I was curious how the bike weight related to your body weight to see what kinds of ranges people run and for what sorts of bikes...

    HEL Brake Line Installation

    Hi, I just got a pair of HEL brake lines to upgrade my Juicy 7's. There are two fittings that seem like they might fit into the lever end so I'm not sure which one I should be using. The instructions are quite vague and the website is no better. Anyone happen to know if I should be using...

    Specs for Soul Cycles Loki?

    Hi guys, I'm looking for the geometry specifications for the Soul Cycles Loki. I remember that it had a 69 degree head angle and a pretty low BB but that's about it. I've checked the Soul Cycles website and they took the info down since the frames sold out. Also, what do you guys...
