Do You Mountain Bike?

Look good but we'll see if they're as durable as the A Frames.

I've had the Azonic A Frames on my all-mountain bike for years now and have not had a problem with them. They've been good to me at Northstar and D-ville. When the crappy stock pedals on my downhill bike became loose, I replaced them with the Wellgo B37 -- $20 (closeout) a set were hard to pass up. Check out www.universalcycles.com for a good assortment of pedals. Just look for something with replaceable pins and a low profile so that you don't go rock bashing all the way down the mountain.

I use those little guys with Vans to keep the feet comfy :teeth

So any of you guys wanna take your bikes off some wicked jumps at calabazas this friday?

Two reasons I can't.

1) Too far

2) I'm skurred :)

Have fun though! I think I'm gonna practice at Pleasanton after work a few times...
 
Here's Harpo dropping into the last section of Karpiel at Northstar. With a sprained knee. And a sprained ankle.

When you wanna go to Pleasanton, I am always down to ride whenever and I love that place.

I work pretty close, so one of these days. I want to get a aluminum bar for my Stumpjumper first - I've heard of bad things happening to people who jump with Carbon Fiber bars.

I chickened out on nearly everything at Northstar - I'm hoping I can work my way up to it at Pleasanton!
 
I think that rock has dropped some

Harpo look's like Darth Vader

That was a fun trail.

I really enjoyed Live Wire trail with that raised tree obstacle

I would not use CF bars for jumping

Well, I don't have to bug you guys about opinions on MTBs anymore! I stopped at Cal Bikes today and they had this selling for basically wholesale price... I couldn't pass it up, and they added Avid Juicy 5's for me for a good price. Wootz!

Looking good I may see you guys a Calabasas on Friday
