    iPOD cable

    I use a PCMCIA laptop card with a firewire port and it works great. Definitely the next thing for you to try is reinstalling the latest ipod software.

    Adjusting in-line housing adjusters

    These things are necessary for front gear lines when you can't have a barrel adjuster at the housing stop near the head-tube. No front derailleurs have barrel adjusters, so you gotta put one somewhere.

    Manitou Gold Series Fork

    It's way lighter than a Marzocchi DJ, talkin' pounds baby. I just put the 100mm one on my Banshee Morphine. The fork is made in USA and comes smooth, stiff and progressive out of the box. But because I have a 24" in the rear the front rides a little too high. I want to get the 80mm one now...

    Out of town MTB stoke (warning: LONG and LOTS of photos!)

    Quality pics, and narration, almost like you're a travel agent trying to book trips to BC & OR. You got that 6th sense with the lens.

    Anyone here have a PCL injury?

    In Marla Streb's book "Downhill" she mentions she's got the PCL of a cadaver in her knee. I keep meaning to email her with questions about her injury. If your knee is still swollen maybe you should take it real easy. Controlled PT is necessary to get the remaining ligaments/muscles...

    Anyone here have a PCL injury?

    I had a full PCL tear 19 months ago. The doctor didn't recommend surgery, just PT, which I did half-assed. The pain goes away soon but I'm guessing your whole quad/knee area has gotten a little smaller/weaker. Clipping into pedals and pulling up is good for rehab. Good luck.

    Idiot with a SRAM chain and a question

    Forget the Shimano pin. If it's an 8-speed chain get the silver SRAM PC link. If it's 9-speed, get the gold one. Don't take chances with your chain.

    Extreme scootering

    blt2ride, there was a lot more scoot-trickery than that! 360s, grinds, flatland stuff, and something that might be considered part of the knack-knack family. The manual to scoot-whip to manual at the end was smooth. Anyone who's bashin' these kids are probably the same people who constantly...

    This Weeks Redskins thread

    Loco, Sanjuro you guys love this thread. Another chance to drop your two dirty pennies. If you don't think this thread is interesting and welcome, then how would you classify your comments in it? Go Skins.

    In The movie Dodgeball....

    Don't put Dodgeball in the same category as Envy, it was way funnier than that. Then again I thought Zoolander was funny. Turns out that's only true the first time you watch it.

    Manuals?

    Manualing comes relatively overnight if you learn to wheelie first. (Killer advice huh?) I set my rr brake lever tighter than usual for immediate, one-finger actuation when needed. The more you lean back off the bike, the bigger your "sweet-spot-of-balance is." The humping part is pretty...
