    Clavicle breaks......

    Yo Tim, I broke my collar bone, but didn't bother to have anyone look at it. It felt set, so I just let it heal. The next crash I took, the two ends collided, shattered, and put a small puncture in my lung. That is, if any puncture to a lung can be small. At that point, surgery was the only...

    What really counts on a downhill bike?

    It all starts with tires. As they say: it is where the rubber meets the dirt.

    Shimano Saint Free Stroke

    I've been running Shimano SLX brakes for the past 2 years (on a trail bike, not DH), and have had great luck. No Free Bleed screw on the SLX Levers. I have a set of Saints on my new DH bike, and can't wait to ride them.

    Broken Collarbone That Won't Heal.

    I broke my clavicle for the first time three years ago, and didn't go to the clinic because I had no health insurance. It healed partially, but then separated when I was doing dips during my off-season training. I didn't know it at the time, but that separation compromised the union. The next...

    Anyone running Mavic 721's tubeless?

    The 721's don't have an ideal internal shape for tubeless set up. It is a great rim, but it doesn't allow tubeless set-up very easily. The FR600, or even the FR500 from DT make better options. The most common rim we have been building lately is the Stan's Flow rim. Build those rims to Hope...

    New Transition TR450 Pics

    The last I saw, those frames were selling for $2399, but I haven't seen anything on frame weight yet. Has any one gotten a chance to put that frame on a scale? And because it's winter, I have to post this as well: http://www.go-ride.com/SPD/ventana-el-cuervo--13F50000-1116899930.jsp...

    I could never figure out why that guy was so damn fast. Now I know: he's Canadian.

    "tired of being slow?"

    Gene Hamilton at Betterride.net is one of those guys who can both do and teach. Granted, he can't corner as fast as Blinky (no offense Gene), but he gave me some advice that I still tell myself every time I ride: look ahead through the corner. Looking at Blinky's eyes in that video, they are...

    beginner downhill

    Downhill is the most fun you can have on any bike anywhere. It is also the most expensive and logistically complicated form of cycling. Where do you live?

    whats the deal with the 2010 boxxers right now?

    We've been selling lots of Boxxer Teams, and a fair amount of World Cups. We just drop the lowers, slick up the seals, and put the correct amount of lubricating oil in the lower assembly before shipping them out or installing them on any bikes. Some forks have the correct amount of oil, others...

    Fox DHX 5.0 accident

    While your in there, change the oil. If you've never done so, the oil is probably mud by now. I am always amazed how seldom people change the oil in their shocks. Mtb shocks use such a small amount of oil to do such a huge amount of work, it is very easy for the oil to get old, tired, and...

    2010 Pro Gravity Tour - ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    2009 was a great step forward in bringing U.S. gravity racing back from the grave. Using a collection of regional race promoters to represent a National Race Series was a brilliant idea, and we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to those who worked so hard to make it happen. Keep up the great...

    Dhr vs. 303r

    Neither bike is a big plow bike. Both are very fast in the corners, and quite "flickable." The 303r is far more linear in the way it uses its travel, while the DHR is going to be more progressive as the bike moves through its travel. The 303r is more adjustable in terms of geometry without...

    4X/Slalom tires? Maxxis..

    Kenda Small Block 8's work really well. I think they put the Larsen TT to shame.
