Mountain Biking - Wish List for Upcoming Season

I want a heckler frame by santa cruz, and maybe a fox 36 talas.

I'm pretty much set for this year.

My wishes:

I want some top three finishes. Anyone know where I can order those from?

I also want to have fun at the mtbr gathering in WV and do a lot of riding with new and old friends.

i want to move to cali soo bad

contact Walter Mayer he may be able to help you ;)I hear he's busy for the next 6 years.
My wishes to get a frame like my 2003 Jamis Dakar , only a half a size larger . My 19" frame feels a bit short for my legs , but the 21" is too long for my torso and a bit too tall . Maybe a Custom Titus Racer X-100 or Moto-lite .

Wait, there's a season?

My season runs from January 1st to December 31st.

New Wheelset
New Crank/BB
New Frame to build an SS commuter.

i would like:
crank bros 50x50x
avid bb7's
new helmet
new bike shorts

A place to store my bike while I'm at college (dorm rooms are small...) so I can get some good quality trail and urban riding in.

Haha, the riding here is pretty good :)

But my parents complain about the taxes... Oh well, the riding is good!

I just wish I won't break any bones this season.

I wish not to get hurt above all, and for products, I really want a Stinky. I tried my friends stinky and after that I couldent believe im still riding a hardrock. As soon as I rode his bike, it gave me the confidence of dual suspension and long travel to do anything. The only set back is that its 2000$ yikes.

these are some bikes i want to build up over the next 2yrs maybe...of course that might change. i want to see if i can build a bike per tuition disbursement...tehehe :D

1) KOT trials
2) BMX (a kickass bmx if i can do what i want)
3) Soma Juice ? 29'er (that midnight purple color one), or maybe a different 29'er
4) Surely Pugsley (i love the pics that Joe1946 posted--see below)

oh...and i want a Rolhoff hub on something above

yeah the stinky looks nice... real nice. for 2000 it seems like a good deal too, for that kind of bike

For my urban bike:

24" Mavic 729's.
Hope Mini Mono Dh.
.243 bar and stem.
50/50's

Trailbike:

some tripple crown
Fox Vanilla RC
Shinburgers
Gazzi's

Get a job as a mechanic at a lbs
Build a FS trail bike

some tripple(sic) crown


Please explain the reason for having three crowns.

Thanks.

If you are going to run that tall of a fork, you want all the support you can get.

Great answer!

Can you name a fork that has three crowns? Maybe post a picture?

Thanks.

Sorry to get off topic :(

Technically, they only have 2 crowns: an upper and a lower.

Exactly.

I am waiting on another 400$ and then I am getting a transition dirtbag frame and a new wheelset.

I think he meant triple clamp. And instead of trying to make him look like a dumbass you could have just taken what he said and let it go since you obviously knew what he meant.

He meant tripple crown. You think he meant triple clamp. Both terms are incorrect. Others are obviously confused about the proper terminology also. Despite the pedantic tone of Hank's reply, he was trying to teach you guys something.

But I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness, so here goes: The part of the fork that attaches the stanchions to the steerer tube is known as a "crown." Some forks have only one. They're known as "single crown" forks. Some forks have two, and they are known as "dual crown" forks. The term "triple clamp" is (I think) a carryover from motorcycle terminology, and is synonomous with "crown." To avoid confusion, I have found it is best to avoid the term "triple clamp" altogether when referring to mountain bike forks, but if you must, "double triple clamp" is technically correct when describing dual crown forks.

Hope this helps.

Crown does not equal clamp.

A typical DH fork has two crowns. Each of these crowns has three clamps. These clamps clamp, clamp, clamp away at the two fork stanchions and the steerer tube.

Most lower crowns have only two clamps. That's why I try and avoid the term.

[total hijack] How many crowns does a Maverick fork have? [/total hijack]

What is the U shaped section that connects the legs called, or does it even have a name? (just curious)

My wish is to get my new\used frame\fork here so I can build it (2 weeks).
And that I dont wreck it or myself whan I start pushing it a bit more in the freeride vein of riding.
@ 40, I'm taking WAY longer to heal from injury. :cry:

The arch?

I'll sometimes call it the brake arch, a carryover from the old days when brakes used to be mounted there.

Two crowns.

The lower is welded and has no clamps. The upper has three clamps.

Oh the arch :o
Thanks :)
