    fork rebuilding

    Make sure the fork is compressed and the springs are out. Piece of cake. Use spectro gold. Check the manual for oil wieght. You can play with the oil hieght a little to change the characteristics of the travel ie more oil will make the fork ramp up more at the end of the travel. Less oil will...

    Watershed thread (again)

    Thanks for the invite but I'm headed to Big Bear this weekend. Can I get a rain check? I found a thread on the MORE board that details the issues out there, so I understand the rather precarious position the 'shed is in. I wouldn't want to jeapordize a riding spot. I just want to ride my bike.

    Watershed thread (again)

    Is somebody willing to PM or E-mail me the inside scoop on the 'shed? I just moved to the area so I'm out of the loop. I tried a search, and found alot of threads about NOT talking about the 'shed. Thanx in advance!

    Having kids?

    Kids are awesome!!! I've got two that I wouldn't trade for anything. More important than money is being emotionally ready. Take a long hard look at your lifestyle, what ever it's like now it's gonna change. If you're not ready to give up a signifigant portion of your time then you'd better think...

    Bike wrench moving to Shepherdstown

    Since then the shop in Martinsburg has closed. I believe for health reasons. I'll probably start out of the house. I'm considering a mobile operation. I may end in Martinsburg. It will be primarily repair with maybe some consignment and used stuff.

    Bike wrench moving to Shepherdstown

    Is there any interest for a small service only shop in Shepherdstown? My wife and I will be moving there by the end of the summer.

    Pot

    You know what Dennis Leary said. Pot doesn't lead to other drugs, it leads to carpentry!

    Pot

    I've never been too drunk to ride. I've been too drunk to drive, and to drunk to walk, but never to drunk to ride. It's my prefered method of travel while under the influence.

    Marzocchi Drop Off Triple (DOT) Mods

    Excellent discussion! Anyone have any information on interchange of the internals between forks? I've thought about getting a slightly used Jr T converting it to 150mm and using the internals out of my Z1. Maybe even convert the left side internals to SL. I'd ride it on the front of my Heckler...

    Yay stupid me ! Er... is stupidity a warranty issue ?

    No offense guys, but that sucks. You shop guys should really be ashamed of yourselves. You're taking advantage of good customer service at a time when it's really hard to find in the bike industry. Thats how we end up with really crappy warranty support. To answer your question, stupidity is NOT...

    FR disc brake suggestions/experiences

    Actually I'm thinking of replacing my hfx 9's with avid mechanicals. I've gotten two fiddly seasons out of them, but they've about had it. I'm thinking with a really nice lever, and some good cables, braking will be on par with my hard to keep aligned, high maintainence hydros. Maybe if I was...

    Pot

    For drilling in glass I recomend lot's of lubricant (I used WD-40), and slow bit speeds. Try to use a bit that grinds instead of cuts. Drill a very small pilot hole and work the hole larger. I made a hooka out of a Crown Royal bottle in college. One tube off each side with a bowl piece in the...

    ? FreeRide DJ (xc) Frame out there?

    KEEP THE SPOT!!! It's not to late is it, you didn't do anything rash did you? Good! That was close. For future reference you dont get rid of a bike unless you really have to. (late rent, friend with no bike, need the money for another bike etc.) It is perfectly exceptable to get another bike if...

    Sealed Bearing>Bolt On

    I would contact Diatech. Alot of people seem to think that if they've never seen it, it can't be done. The manufacturer will tell you for sure. I know for a fact you can do it with an XT QR hub. I ran one in my old Gack frame for a while. Iwas very happy with it, and it was resonably...
