    HELP!!! frame size session 88 2011?????

    RIDGIDHACK please elaborate on how a medium with a shorter wheelbase and shorter reach would be better for wide open fast trails for someone who is taller than me? There is no substance to this point. I don't know why most people on here think someone over 5' 10" should be riding a medium...

    HELP!!! frame size session 88 2011?????

    Large all the way! Unless you ride slower, tight, not steep trails the large is a beneficial size at your height. It allows more stability as well as better cornering due to more even weight distribution. I am 5' 10" (5.83 feet/1.78 meters) tall and rode a 2010 Large all season long. The...

    2011 US National Champs - DH/4X Venue ??

    Schweitzer Idaho has always been a killer venue. Definitely a legit track, but maybe not the best preparation for Champery? I think whatever it is needs to be as similar as possible to world champs for that year. It is used as a qualification for worlds so it should be similar. Never been...

    Which DH fork should i get?

    I have had the privilege to ride/race on the 2011 Kashima Fox 40 since the beginning of the race season so I have more time than just about anybody on the new fork. I rode it HARD in Europe for a month and a half, Whistler for 4 weeks, Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara multiple times, and Colorado...

    So...I now have a rental vehicle. Looked into the train, but I needed transport all over for 6-weeks plus a place to sleep. The Mercedes Vito should work out quite nice for this! Thanks to everyone who responded! -Evan

    I am looking for transportation from Munich Airport in Germany to Maribor, Slovenia for the first World Cup. I arrive in Munich Tuesday May 11th at 10 in the morning. Does anybody have any room for a bike box and myself? Any suggestions? I would pitch in on gas and cost of a vehicle...

    V10 spring rate

    For reference: I am 165lbs with gear on a 2009 V-10. I run a 550lb spring on my Vivid which is the stock V-10 "C tune" shock. I also run nearly full compression. The reason for the 550lb spring is to balance better with the 8 inch travel fork in the corners and make the bike more...

    4th Annual Mob n Mojave info

    About Logan... He 100% deserved a re-run at this race. He literally had a mechanical right out of the gate. No more than 10 feet. I was right there waiting for my run. As previously mentioned, EVERYONE agreed that he should have a re-run. Don't post any more babble about it being...

    4th Annual Mob n Mojave info

    Hey People, Does anyone have a some space to put up another downhill racer for the event? I just got the time off work, but the place I thought I would be staying has since filled up. I want to make it out there but I don't have much to spend on a place to stay. This was a last minute...

    Aptos PostOffice Jam

    I just rode the jumps yesterday. The jumps are in pretty good shape themselves. The roll-in though is a mess. We need hoses to bring in LARGE amounts of water to eventually turn the dust into hardpack. If Jesse can get permission to tap into the Antique Shop's water supply legitimately (not...

    why DECLINE doesn't cut it for me

    To be honest most dirt jumpers could really use a front brake FOR THE DIRT JUMPS. I have seen so many kids at the local dirt jumps skidding up or off of lips out of control when they screw up. This works wonders for the lips and pisses me off. Route your front brake through the steerer tube...

    09 Fox 40.....

    So I have been riding the 09' fork since before Fontana this year and all I can say is WOW! This is without a doubt the best performing fork I have ever ridden! I have used full travel multiple times, but not once have I felt it bottom. I'm 170lbs plus gear and I ran a blue spring most of...

    Gamut, any good?

    WindowLicker: The reason the logos are rubbing off is due to your single-speed set-up. I have seen this happen when people try to run wider than normal BMX chains single speed and their chainline is off. This does not happen on a normal multi-speed set-up. I have been running Gamut guides...

    Vermont, MSA, Bromont

    -Alf I have no plans yet for an airport for vermont. I was told Albany was closest? I will book my flight according to when I would have transportation available. -Lee I would definitely be interested in staying with you in between and at MSA and Bromont since you are loc-dogg. Would...

    Prayers and healing vibes for Steve DeLay (SWD Racing) and family

    Wow! This comes as a complete shock to me. Steve is without a doubt one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I can still remember back when I first met him at the Schweitzer, Idaho National 3 years ago. We sat down and talked bike design for a good chunk of time and he knows his stuff...

    Dual Slalom Rides

    Here's my 15" Iron Horse MKIII slalom bike. The rear shock has been reduced down from a 7.5" eye to eye to a 6-7/8" eye to eye. This drops the bottom bracket and allows for a shorter fork. rear travel is approximately 3". My BB is fairly low at a hair under 12" but I can still run 170mm...

    fun with auto cad

    There are a few things wrong with your bike design. First off your wheelbase setting is wrong since you are forgetting that there is axle offset from 42-47mm on most 200mm forks. You also will have to have a pulley system for the bike to work properly. There would be a massive amount...
