Do You Mountain Bike?

I might not be an expert on the whole "Christmas Thing", being as I'm a Jew and all, ... But didn't it pass quite some time ago.

Well you might get gifts for 7 days but us Commies get 'em all year round

Tracy - the gal from from my triathlon club - is looking to carpool if anyone is interested. Either shoot her an email at tracyhall_fun@sbcglobal.net, or PM me and I can forward you her phone number.

DT Swiss EX 5.1 rims, Industry 9 Hubs



Yep, got 'em as a Christmas gift

I9's have got to be the best set of hubs I've come across. I wouldn't have even thought about buying a set but I got hooked up so I bought'em. I'm running a set of Mavic 823's and the I9's on my SOCOM and after they broke in and the occasional retension, they rock....

Good looking bike!! And good luck with the DTs, they seem to be pretty soft from what I've seen and heard. Hopefully they've gotten better.

A-dell ride Monday...

Great ride to day everyone. It was good meeting all of you. Hope to do it again soon. Did someone say D'ville?

 

[roxy]

Awesome ride today!

Annadel was a blast

We did a loop of China Camp on the way back to burn off those burgers

So, when are we going to D'ville!

Sorry I had to jet so fast, had some other things I had to get back to do.....like Tri-Tip, Chicken, and baked beans

That was a lot of fun!

Fun ride yesterday!

+1 The Stan's site has the best instructions and even some video at the link Mike sent. Scott, hit me up if you have any trouble when you get to it. I also have a Stan's injector if you need to borrow it. L8r.

I had trouble airing up the first tire I did. Messy!
We have a box full of syringes perfect for fork oil and adding stans through the valve stem.

stans sealant not forever ? I witnessed Ryan flat with a hole, because he did not have enough in there, check it often. (I use 2.5 scoops in a 2.0-2.3)

Anyone have a 2.24 mutano? shredded the sidewall on one and need a decent one for tubeless

 

[Yody]

All I keep seeing are 2.4's at all the stores? Let me know if you find some cheap online after talking with you (and Mike) I'd like to try them out

 

[sjensen]

only deal ive found.

sonny had stock in WTB tires at one point, dunno if that still holds true. i kinna wish the mutano came in a 2.5, as the weirwolf if dropping down my list of front tires.

 

[Yody]

Peformance over near my house has the 2.4's for %25 off if you want me to grab you one?

Hey everyone,

I'm a total mountain bike noob but recently helped stimulate the economy by picking one up. I haven't done anything crazy yet but am really excited to try something new. I rode BMX when I was a kid but haven't ridden a bike in about 12 years. Bike riding is just as fun as I remember!

I'll keep an eye on this thread while I learn more about this sport. But like I said, I'm super excited and hopefully will see you guys out there.

Found any fun places to ride down there yet? That'll make all the difference.

It's a safe bet that rides like the one we just did at Annadel yesterday are why lots of motorcycles that belong to BARFers are collecting dust right now. That was a freakin hoot

Garrett, which trails did you end up riding? I thought you were gonna come along with us, but I didn't see any sign of you after we left the lot.

 

[HeavenzJai]

why do you need lockout suspension for?

Is this okay?:
