    And so it begins.....

    ...the 29er world for me. Picked up a MifitPsycles frame/stem/post with a set of wheels and tires from a local fellow up here in Vancouver for a song - "just not my cup of tea" he said. Found a fork on ebay for cheap, and once it finally arrived (enter Canada Post screw-up extraordinaire) it...

    oryx bikes

    ...when Procycle bought out Rocky Mountain/Balfa/Oryx they phased out Balfa and Oryx. Oryx bikes were made in Quebec, and were a relatively small company. Their frames were very nice (I saw a T-line frame and it was nicely done and light). I believe any warranty goes through Procycle/Rocky...

    Hey married folk, how old were you when you got married?

    20/20 (although she's 6 weeks older than me - haha). Been together 16 years with three sons, who may all be out of the house by the time we're 45. To quote the above poster,"Then it's PARTY time...." Wouldn't change it for anything. Cheers, Mike E.

    24 HOA Owners bans rider for one year because of an mtbr.com thread????

    Yes, 24HOA are definitely on the skids. It was over a year or so ago that they went bankrupt, only to rename themselves and buy back their own equipment from the liquidators.

    Hope Mono M4 Disc Brake Giveaway

    Well, I'm up in Vancouver, BC. Let's see, there are a few good trails around, a beautiful set of mountains in about every direction, except for the ocean side I guess, and lots of recreation areas to chase my 3 sons and dog around in. Cheers, Mike E.

    PICTURE TIME: Post your XC rig

    My Blur in battle mode - Rhinolites/Michelin DH tires. Have a set of XT/317's for XC. Love it!! Also have a DeKerf Team ST that's "my son's bike," which I ride when I want to go old-school. Steel is definitely real.

    Hayes calipers w/ Shimano rotors??

    Just wondering if using Shimano rotors with Hayes calipers is a big deal? Looks like the braking surface on the Shimano's is not as wide as the Hayes. Any loss of power, or will the pads just wear a little funny? Thanks.:)

    Marzocchi steerer on Stratos fokr??

    Hey there, Just got a Stratos Superstar 6, and it appears that the steerer tube may be a bit short. Could I use a Marzocchi steerer tube that I have in the Stratos crowns? Seems like it should work, just checking in case I'm missing something. Thanks.
