JDD, I know it's a bummer to hear someone harshing on your ideas and I'm sorry about that, but the reality of the situation is that as far as I can tell everything I said is true, and I have heard no answers to the contrary. I know you care about this sport, I am friends with some of your...
The Pro GRT and the USGP are both nonsense. They are not race series', they are meaningless titles bestowed seemingly at random to plain old regional races. Last year the Crested Butte MSC race (where I am right now) was a GRT and this year it is a GP. Why? Beats the **** out of me, this...
I know for some countries you can still do priority, but 2 of the countries people have asked about on my current bike sale were GXP only. The recent one was Hungary, the other was Brazil I think. With the 79" limit you cant even ship a frame with the swingarm removed and stuck inside or...
Anyone know why USPS is now offering only their most expensive service, the GXP international service, to most countries? All of 3 or 4 years ago you could ship a frame to Europe for about 100 or a bike in two boxes for 250 or so. Now I can't find any way to ship a bike to Europe for less than...
Thanks for all the props guys, it means a lot to all of us at Sol Vista. Probably the best thing about working here is seeing people just buzzing with excitement about their own progression, it can be an elusive feeling when you've been riding for a long time and being able to facilitate it for...
I run mine farther forward than most, I like a lot of upsweep and rolling them forward turns some of the backsweep into upsweep. I can't stand bars without enough upsweep, call them "sad bars" because they feel like they are bending down to me. I also run my moto bars rolled forward a bit, it...
You're high, the 08 track ate balls, pedaling sections at Mount Snow? That stupid little uphill root thing in the woods that you came through at like 1 mph? BS. The 06 track on the other hand... that was the ****. G-ing out the road crossing at mach speed was horrifying.
Someone wise once said "there is nothing new under the sun". No matter what you do, you're going to be able find someone else who did something roughly similar. If you can build a better mousetrap and get your name on it and make some bucks, there's no reason you shouldn't just because you...
Always a good idea. Or just ride outlaws all the time and spend the extra money on hookers and blow. If you do want a high end wheelset, split the difference between those two choices and lace up 823s to your Hopes, which is the rim you get with deemaxes anyway. It's a tough rim. Don't get...
They're both pretty much junk. We have seen nothing but problems with most of the available models. ATA is garbage, coil springs are almost completely unavailable, air springs feel overly linear and sticky on top. I have felt RC3 forks that felt pretty plush, but either way I would get a...
As I heard it DW and Trek came to an agreement in which Trek would steal the design from DW and pay him nothing in return for him going and f-ing himself because he doesn't have a team of lawyers on retainer and what's he going to do about it. I could be misinformed, just what I heard on the...
We were just having a conversation about continental championships in general today in the shop. It seem like these races go largely ignored, but they pay out about as many UCI points as a World Cup race. What's the story, low prize money? Inconvenient spots like Guatemala? Scheduling? What...
