    Now Oficial: 2009 UCI MTB World Cup Calendar

    Yeah, throwing it down the back side of the mountain, away from all of the facilities might not have been a great way to get crowds either.

    best saddle for dh

    I have been quite happy with the i-beam i-fly. Pretty comfy light, super adjustable and has been durable. What more can you ask for?

    Looking for a 2005 GT DHi

    I have some old welded up frames in the basement if you are really desperate. I also have some spare parts, shocks and MRP guide peices for the DHi if anyone needs them. Willing to send them to a good home for next to nothing.

    08 glory

    I am also 6'1 amd am riding the large. I generally like longer bikes and find that it is a very comfortable size. I have also put in a fair bit of time on the medium and find it a little short for me. My suggestions to you are if you want a very stable bike for racing or high speed rigding...

    SLR Saddle ...How's my ass?

    I rode for a couple months on an SLR, super comfy saddle, but the nose did dig in a bit on crashes, etc. The biggest problem that I had with it was that the rails are really not designed to stand up to DH level abuse. Snapped a rail half way through the season. I spent this season on an...

    06 reign 2 for downhill?

    I have put quite a bit of time in on a 2007 Reign 1, which is quite similar to the 06 Reign 2. Here is a review that I did of that bike. 2007 Giant Reign 1 Review It is very capable of handling downhill terrain, but is truly an all mountain bike. If you are planning on doing mostly...

    new e 13 limited color

    Interesting choice in color for the second offering. That certainly won't be going on my bike, but hey, at least it is trying something different. Just curious why you would credtit Sicklines in the thread when they credited Matchvideozine for the content? Why not give the credit where it...

    glory sizing. help me quickly please

    There is a large difference between the top tube length of the large and the medium. I have spent several days on the medium, and found it far too short for my 6'1 frame, and raced all season on a large, which felt perfect. With that said, one of my teammates who is almost my size likes the...

    Giant Glory

    Here are my thoughts on the Glory. I really liked the Glory and felt that it really felt lighter riding it than the scales suggested. http://www.asilvertouch.com/features.php?feature_id=116

    07 Sunday Factory frames

    Small road cassettes don't give you any harder gears, they just take away some of the easy ones making everthing tighter spaced. The smallest cog on the back of a road or mtb will both be in the range of 11-12 tooth.

    Road Cassettes for downhill?

    After riding road cassettes on my DH bikes for the last couple of years, when I switch back to a MTB one, I really notice how big the jumps are. True, I often need to change more than one gear, but with the MTB cassette, I very often would find my gearing too easy, shift once, then it would be...

    list your set up-tubeless

    Mavic EX823 with various Maxxis UST DH tires. I had a lot of problems at first puncturing the tires. It seemed with all the rock I typically ride, I would put at least one puncture in a tire each weekend. After a month I started running half a scoop of stans in each and have not had a problem...

    maxxis uts problems. anyone else in the same boat?

    I have had the same problem with some of my Maxxis UST tires. I was a little worried at first, but just kept riding them and checking frequently. I found that they split so far, and that was it. Never had any real problems with them, and I rode a couple that split until the tread was gone. I...

    narrow tire/wide rim combo

    Pinch flatting less of a problem, denting and damaging your rim might be your bigger problem.
