    Any value in refurbishing hayes mags?

    Sandwich - I may have some spare parts, let me know what you need. If I am not mistaken, I am relatively close to you as well. I could drop them off at a trail head. Also, if you like the brakes then why not put $20 in them? Hayes Strokers Trails are good brakes. You might need to use a...

    MS Mondraker is official for 2012.

    The last time I spoke to Fabien, he still wanted to be involved with Mondraker and their product development. Fabien, his race program, including his mechanic Paul Walton, helped elevate Mondraker to a more globally recognized brand, bettered their product line up, etc. I am not sure on Fab's...

    evil imperial help

    BikeFan84, Not sure if Wheels Mfg makes any. Just to note that these hangers were made out of stainless steel. So even if you can get a used one that is slightly bent, it might be worth a shot. Dave used a SS hanger because it can take so much abuse, like the frame. Alum hangers... not so...

    Whats a good offer?

    Jeff - I am glad your humor hasn't changed over the years. That is a classic south park line. The first bike - it has a fair amount of wear, so less than $2K, like the others said, re: to William42's comment. The full on DH bike, that sounds like a nice deal. Either way, double check the...

    Generic BB mount Chain guide spacing question.

    Nowlan, From what you have described, I will forgo a lot of other preliminary questions and I would start with this trouble shooting process: 1) I would measure your BB shell width. If you do not have a set of calipers then check the website. I think it is a 73 mm, but don't quote me on it...

    120+20mm does not equal 160-20mm. Or, more to a bike than how much travel it has.

    Mister Dogboy, Thanks for adding this to the mix. I for one have been very curious on how this bike rides. Do you feel that this bike climbs/tracks as well as your older Mark III? how well does it shred the gnar(1 to 10 level?).

    Ola Rose, Think of this response as more of a global response to the originally proposed question. Or, if you are industry veteran you will laugh at my response. yeah, us industry folk have some funny ways..... and if you don't understand then let me know. I will do my best to elaborate.

    120+20mm does not equal 160-20mm. Or, more to a bike than how much travel it has.

    The response was more of a response to Punkassean's general question. It is also a commentary of his question. I agree with Mr. Punkassean that the travel equation needs to be recognized. But then yes, I called out Mr. Punkassean to venturing to the cold and treacherous Northeast. :) If you...

    120+20mm does not equal 160-20mm. Or, more to a bike than how much travel it has.

    Mr. Punk AsSean, 1st thing 1st, THANK YOU for bringing the obvious to some of us and to the rest of the attention of all. I shake my head at the "new and improved with more travel this year bikes!". Awesome sir mr./mrs/ms. product manager, you created a bike with more travel yet the frame is...

    e.13 on sx trail

    Do you already have a wide angle back plate installed? Off the top of my head a W44 ISCG old pattern or W40 ISCG Old pattern should do the trick. Kyle Strait has not had any issues with his LG1 or SRS on his SX frames. Feel free to contact us directly with any questions...

    Awesome Fabien Barel Blog Post

    Fraser, I agree and it is very difficult for most to realize this who have never been to Fort William. The race course is in the wide open and the winds are terrible. I could not ever have imagined the difference until I was fortunate enough to attend this year's event. On a good note...

    OH snap... those links are dynOmite. Dr. Octagon - nice, I own the album. I gotta thank DW for introducing me to them and Deltron 3030. Kool Keith declined sponsorship 2 years ago..... I guess claiming I won the Women's Pro XC race event was too obvious of a false claim..... In all...

    Chris - Glad to see you still have some fire in ya. Sponsorship is a two way street and I am kind of bummed right now about my situation. I typically run my Public Enemy t-shirt. No love from Public Enemy yet.... I'll show Chuck D whats up by badmouthing him at the next race. I think I...
