    How is Mongoose with warrenty claims?

    just so you know, most companies only extend the warranty to the original owner. i only know of one bicycle company at all that doesn't care. best case is that they sell you what you need really cheap.

    Yeti DJ frame impression as do it all hardtail

    you may have some issues getting anywhere near leg extension, the seat tube is pretty short. i can't on my short and i am 5' 10". also the 2008 frames do not have guides for a front derailleur. other than that it would be a super fun bike. i got a 2008 frame a month ago and it is the best...

    POLL: How many derailleurs have you trashed this year?

    i have been racing mountain bikes since 1992 and downhill since '98 all but the first year have been at the expert level, maybe i am just lucky, but that is a lot of luck. i think part of it is the persons riding style, i do not plow through obstacles. i don't crash very often, but when i do, it...

    POLL: How many derailleurs have you trashed this year?

    never broken or bent a derailleur in 16 years of racing all kinds of bikes. i have mostly run shimano but i have one bike now with x9 and i have had 4 or 5 bikes with sram in the past. i prefer shimano as a mechanic but sram definately has a few good ideas. i like the shifters and the way the...

    Do the atomlab pedals worth the money they cost?

    atomlab pedals do not have c clips any more. they all connect with a bolt that goes in the end of the spindle so that the pedal cannot fall of of the body ever. all atomlab pedals have bushings and no bearings. i have been running their pedals since the late 90's and i have never had a bushing...

    fully 29er

    it is an SE BMflyer, just a basic aluminum frame and fork, but i had the 26 inch version and it was really close, the 29er feels a little faster in the rough, but not like suspension. the trails i ride are really rocky with lots of step ups and downs and a 4 inch 26er feels good there , i just...

    fully 29er

    Uhh NO. they roll over stuff better, but they do not make up for a lack of suspension. my single speed rigid 29er is just as rough as my 26er, it is just faster.

    fully 29er

    Chrome Plating Evil Sovereign ???

    chrome would be very cool. i would not worry about the chrome cracking or affecting the tollerances, hundreds of thousands of bmx frames are out there that work just fine. 75 percent of all bmx frames from the 80's are chrome and they held up fine. if it were not for environmental issues i think...

    FSA DH bb question

    just to make sure, the versus frame uses a 68mm bottom bracket, are they selling you an 83mm bottom bracket when you need a 68 or do you need an 83 and they took a 68 off of a bike to let you use it. they are not compatible, you may just need to wait for the right size.

    Anybody had their hands on one of these?

    i still have a strike from 2005, it rides pretty decent, it is a little more suited for tight slow stuff, but the quality of the travel is very good. the headtube is pretty tall, but everything else feels good.

    Wrist Brace Suggestions
