Damn, Harpo
Looks like you need the steel steerer bolt instead of that wimpy aluminum one. Glad to hear you're okay and hope that you can fix it easily. L8r.

Hmmm, they say 2 is better than 1.
Ohhh Contrare (sp?) I say!!
Not when your "1" solid Nomad is now being dragged out of the woods as "2" pieces.

I don't know of any off hand. I haven't been looking for 29er stuff since I don't have one.
I'm assuming you've tried all the regular places; Bicycle Connection and Mike's. After that I'd suggest Performance in Mountain View or Redwood City, depending on which direction you wanted to travel.
I'm more familiar with the places more south of there like Evolution, Cupertino and Trailhead. I'm sure one of those would have something, but again I haven't looked so I'm not 100% sure.
Try calling around and checking first, as not everyone carries 29er stuff. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful and Good Luck!!

Wow! Glad you're not hurt.
I thought dual crown forks used a steering tube, this looks like it's only the bolt holding it together?

I'm up for some mountain bike rides.
I picked up a new Gary Fisher last year and have only taken it out about 4 or 5 times this season.
I've ridden most of the trails around the bay area and prefer moderate difficulty rides.

Rob, that's a Maverick thing... keeps the weight down... and obviously the strength too.
Harpo, anything to add?

Soquel - Saturday 7/7
Planning on a double loop at Soquel Saturday morning.
We (Dave and I) plan on being on bikes and leaving the parking lot by 8:00 am.
If anyone else is interested in joining us either let me know or just meet us there.
With the exception of mechanicals or carnage this will be a quick paced ride with limited stops. (I'd like to be back home, sitting by the pool and sipping Margaritas by the time Mr. Sunshine starts kicking everyone's ass)

Re: Downieville 7/14
Harpo: Was just up there this past Sunday. hot and dusty!! but fun as always.
This coming weekend is the race, so unless you're entered you won't be able to get a shuttle ride up.
I'm going up to N* with some friends for the weekend. We're going up Saturday morning to ride, staying the night and riding again on Sunday.
You're more than welcome to join us which ever day you can make it. Let me know if you're coming. L8r.

Re: Re: Downieville 7/14
I think the weekend of the 28th or 29th will work but I don't think I'm gonna be able to stay over night. Tristen is doing her half marathon in SF and although she says I don't have to be there, ......well, .... you get the drift.
Let me see which day she is running.

Re: Re: Downieville 7/14
Let me see if I can get someone to drive up with. Don't want to do it alone as I won't be able to stay for more than 1 day.dking said:Harpo: You're more than welcome to join us which ever day you can make it. Let me know if you're coming. L8r.
