For Moab, check out Coyote Shuttles. They can give you good advice and shuttle rides. Personally I prefer Moab in September when the leaves are changing. Usually it's a little cooler, but hasn't snowed yet, and the days are still fairly long. Some of the best trails to ride start up around...
I really like the Kenda Nevegal 2.35 DTC as a rear tire. It's got a decent volume, rolls well, wears long, and has really consistent traction. I prefer the Maxis Minion DHF for the front tire. It's heavier but it hooks up a little better, but the Nevegal is also a decent front tire. For...
Good topic. Smooth machine built trails can be really fun to rip down. They make mountain biking possible for more people and increase the consumer base for the sport which then provides more money for land purchases, trail building, R&D. Which then causes the trails to get crowded again...
Sick video. So glad I'm already planning to ride tonight!! Getting stoked. Thank you for taking this thread to another level. What's the last song in the vid?
btw, it seems like your link is broken. When I click the image it takes me to Flickr. Only now when I decided to quote your post...
I feel like I'm really getting to know your crotch better through these videos! If you filmed this without shorts on it'd be like watching a gonzo porn video :p Seriously though I need to experiment with other mounting positions too. Trail looks fun!
Wow, looks like an amazing ride! I think you did a good job telling a story in the beginning. I love how you're riding down all these stairs in the dark and pedaling out at dawn, but the middle seemed to drag on quite a bit, I fast-forwarded a lot and still couldn't wait for the end. I think...
Yeah. I mountain bike for two reasons: to have fun, and to stay in shape. Pedaling this bike to work accomplishes both goals. There's a really fun trail that leaves straight from work and at least once a week I end up riding it home. I suppose the tires will wear out a little quicker, but...
This is my third follow-up review for my 2006 Santa Cruz Nomad. For the first review and follow up check out this thread:

After 6 years of hard riding the bike was starting to get pretty beat up. I recently did a bunch of...
Seconded. Salt Lake City and Park City are great especially if you also like to ski and rock climb. Moab Utah is a much smaller city and doesn't have lift-served, but it does have a 30 mile 7,000' vert shuttle run, epic technical riding, rock climbing, and even some back-country skiing. Oh...
Totally agree. I didn't build it, I just ride it. I donate most of my trail building time to legal trails like the one in Draper, but the trail has been in existence for the past 10+ years, and to have them decide all of the sudden to destroy it seems rash and counter-productive. The local...
The FS is cutting down trees to block off a volunteer built and maintained trail near me. They have decided it is an "illegal trail" and are cutting down trees to block it off.
Here's the local thread with details...
Thanks for the suggestions! I think heading to a bike shop to ride a few makes a lot of sense. I'm hoping to find a used bike though because you can usually get more bang for your buck, and I've got a lot of decent parts sitting around just looking for a frame to hang them on. It's surprising...
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a great used bike for my girlfriend. She's about 5'1" and 110lbs and I want to make sure I can find a bike that fits her well. Ideally I'm looking for a 4-5" full-suspension medium-duty cross country bike. If size weren't an issue I'd look for something like...
I own 3 Cannondales: an F200: Hard tail, 110mm lefty fork from 2002. A Gemini: 2004, Sherman front fork, DHX Air. R800 Road bike from 2006. I really like those bikes and rode them a ton. So, I'm not generally a Cannondale basher, but I have to say, I'm pretty un-impressed with the Moto. The...
I've got a 4 yo border collie aussie shepherd mix that loves to go biking. She did her first ride at about 6 months old. Start with a short, un-crowded trail and plan to take it easy. From there you'll just want to gradually increase the distance/difficulty etc. At this point she can keep up...
Yep, totally agree. They seem identical except for logo and colors. But, I haven't found a place in the US to buy the HT pedals yet, so I don't know if they'll be any cheaper in the US.
Thanks for sharing the info. Does seem like a nice pedal regardless of who's making it.
