I'm still using a front mech and I'm pretty sure I'm the last one. From the reactions I get you'd think a front derailleur was reponsible for mass genocide. I never throw a chain, I ride as hard as 41 year old body will let me and it shifts perfect. Even better with one shift i can cover half...

I've been spending the last week vacationing in Plumas county, North of the tahoe/truckee area. My wife and I have been staying with her brother in law in Graegle.
I've been to Downieville many times before and knew there was much more to ride in the area. Monday I decided to get the obligatory...
I have a customer needing some new rims, she wants tubeless and has trashed her DT FR 6.1d's.
As far as dedicated tubeless rims is Mavic 823's it?
How do the Sun MTX 33's do in a tubeless setup?
Stan's Flows are NOT an option, not tough enough.
Any suggestions?
After a year and a half on avid code r brakes (and a dissappointingfew 2 years on the origina codes) I decided I wanted a change. The code r brakes had done a pretty good job, but after switching to xt trails on the am bike felt wooden, with no modulation.
The install was straight forward...
I'm going to Whistler for a week in July w/ my wife. Flying LAX to Vancouver.
I turned this up on my research. It helps a little.

Trek Demo for the Santa Barbara area! It's been a little while since I have been in this area and looking forward to it! Bikes that I will have on board are Trek Madones, Top Fuels, EX's, Remedy's, Scratch's...
So I'm getting married pretty soon here and its time to figure out the most important component! So I'm contemplating what to get for 75-100 guests.
One 13.5-15.5g keg.
One case of red wine, probably a Cabernet.
One case of white wine, chardonnay?
Here's the beer options I'm currently...
It looks like I have found a buyer for my 6.6:)
So it's time to upgrade. I've been pretty happy with this bike overall but I'd like improvement in a couple areas: Stiffness and geometry and weight. It was a little flexy, I'm 160 and could feel some flex in hard cornering. The BB was too high...
Its time to retire my CRT Sony 36" and get a more modern TV. I just got a PS3 and would like to take full advantage of this thing. It will be for gaming and movies, I don't have cable but will probably setup the Netflix streaming.
So.... I don't know much about this stuff though.
LED or...
I've got the jones! The Intense banner is calling my name again.
I've been on a 2006 Cove Shocker DH since Nov of that year. It is a sweet bike, pedals pretty good, corners pretty good, decent braking habits and flawless reliability and quality. I ride DH a fair amount, 4,000 to 8,000'...
The LACB draft http://www.lacity.org/ladot/bicycle/ was recently released and mountain bicyclists should be concerned with the direction it has taken. We need comments not only from L.A.-based riders, but from anyone who has positive stories about relationships with equestrians and other trail...
I've been recently considering dipping into the dark side. I've been mtb riding for almost 15yrs but have only been on 2 or 3 road rides. So I'm looking at road riding as a nice way to mix up my riding and better my fitness for mtb's. I'm kinda thinking of a cx bike (Spec Tricross) I figure its...
Well I just got out of the company meeting...
Subject: Doom and gloom, continued losses.
End result?
10% paycut across the board
Insurance went from 90% covered to 65%
No more free gym.
It could be a heeluva lot worse.....and it still can be in the months to come.
I need a drink.
