Mountain Biking - That Time of Year, What is on your Wishlist?

What Parts/Gear/Bike did you put on your wishlist?

Only thing on mine is road bike related. I'm hoping for a new Campagnolo Chorus Carbon Ultra-Torque crankset (http://www.speedgoat.com/product.asp?part=121817&cat=110&brand=41). Other than that a new jersey and a pair of bib shorts and socks would be nice. I have everything else I need.

My main wish is for pending sponsorships to be wrapped up so I know what I'll be on next season.

Oh, I forgot, I test rode an SE 29er Single Speed. I want it!

Frame: Santa Cruz Chameleon frame medium size in dream silver color....dusty orange would also work

Frame: Rock Shox Revelation 426 with 100/130 mm travel

SRAM X.9 build kit.....

oh....almost forgot....a new Jeep Wranglar...in army green color.......just to carry the bike back and forth to the trailhead.....

Umm a few new parts to build up my new frame...

Headset: FSA Pig Dh pro

BB: Truvativ Gigapipe DH Team

New Chainguide: E13 SRS

Tires: Maxxis Larsen TTs 2.35 Kevlar bead

Grips: Lizard skin lock ons

and a whole bunch of cheapo tubes.

my wish list was a big fat bonus at work so i could get my new ride on the dirt.

christmass came early, as in this morning, and i already spent it!

now i'm just waiting on Santa (aka, UPS).

obligitory OCP shot to follow.

Lets see:

-Manitou Travis 150
-Truvativ Holzfeller Oct
-Roco TST R with a Ti spring
-Juicy 7 (203mm, and 185mm)

Chance of getting any other these...about 0.01%

All I wish is quick and safe delivery of my current orders. :o

GPS for the vette
new SPD shoes from sixsixone
Gift certificate for Sears for tools
a couple of Park Tools
.....and maybe more, muhahaha

Giant XTC2 is the only thing on my mind :love:

But I'd happily have a camelback too ;)

Oh I forgot, it would be nice if Santa would happen to get me in the right place at the right time to find a Playstation 3 for sale in a store. I know I don't need it, and would probably only play it a few times but darnit I want it!!!! :D

Socks and a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel.

Axiom Roadgap pedals, sealed.
And I almost have enough money for a new dj bike. :)

Let's see. I already have the frame I want waiting to be built up so for mountain bike I'm okay. I am building up a road bike but wish it was a cyclocross. So I suppose I wish for a CX bike.

Other than that I've asked for a small food processor. Ummm, a nice new tie, preferable Italian. A nice scarf to go with the new big-boy coat I bought to look presentable during the winter months. That's it, I think.

Also, I wish that Halo 3 was made for the Xbox. Barring that I wish for an Xbox 360 but only after I get the HD TV. As I don't feel the need for a big tv right now, I'd rather wait so let's see about making Halo3 for the Xbox.

Fox 36 Talas RLC
Fox DHX 5.0 Air
Chris King hubs
Chris King headset
Brooks saddle
Niterider Minewt
SDG I-Beam system
SRAM X.9 groupo

God, new builds suck :(

A knowledge of how to adjust a front derailler, effing hate the front derailler. Just spent 30 minutes adjusting cable tension and limit screws, and I can't get it not to scrape in all the chain rings. Feck.

I'm so mechanically ********.

As our trusty Trek rep Kevin says, "There are two things I don't do: front derailleurs and bottom brackets"

I hate FDs also.

I hate FDs also.
I had the deore LX front derailler, and the mechanic tells me it's a bottom pull.

So I get an x9 off him for 20. I line up the derailler 1mm in the inside of the chain which is parallel to the cage. I do everything parktool tells me, once the chain isn't scraping in one chain ring, it's scraping in the next. I've adjusted everything under the sun and can't get things running smoothly. I hate FDs. I can do Rds, but not Fds. Damn I'm pissed. I don't want to pay someone to adjust a derailler.

Just some jerseys and lots of socks. Unless something breaks.

Ya I hate em too!
Thats really the only reason I run 1x9.;)

My wife says this year we should limit ourselves to stocking stuffers. So how big a stocking do I need to hold a new Fox Vanilla fork?

a quick return to dryness on my local trails.

for wheelhot to stop starting completely inane threads.

the rest of my family to get a clue and stop getting me useless cr*p.
(even though i appreciate the thought)

A Crown Special on the rocks.

A MAF that lasts more than a few months.
A Walker F18.
Someone that wants to buy my Fly.
Whirled peas.

Funny. What's your 3rd wish.

Heres a new one...

I don't have any. I am actually very satisfied with my fleet and everything with it.

Don't you want whirled peas? (I must be tired, I still think that's funny.)

haha...no...not really. although a storage spot for mashed potatoes would be nice.

ok, now seriously, I google whirled peas (no I have no clue what it is...)...what the hell is it...is it like the british Mushy Peas? :D

I think I'm going to take the Highline.


That ought to be a good choice. I'm having thoughts of a replacement for the rubber bullit, now that I'm getting a better idea of what I want in a squishy bike. Tough call; so many choices in the 6-7" travel range right now.

for christmas the only thing I was looking for was new wheels, I just got my SC Shiver and my King headset in green. NOW I have a set of Bontrager King Earl wheels on the way.

I just got a new girlfriend too, so I really don't NEED/WANT anything.

so we'll see what the season unfolds

Sweet, was she ordered through jensonusa or pricepoint?

Hey also just noticed your avitar, I went to his concert in chi town about 3 weeks ago.:p

I want love. Losta love. :)

My wife just kinda let it slip that I'm getting my wish...a new Demo 8...she's awesome!

This is on my wife's wishlist, so I think I am getting socks.

Nice. I have a wagon fetish.

You know there are strong rumours of an E91 M3 version.

We drove this car over thanksgiving, '07 328i wagon, which is now up to 230hp, 6spd manual, 255/17 tires.. This thing almost drives like an m3 of 5 years ago.

They selling 328i variants in the U.S.? Here in Canada they're restricing it to the 328xi model unfortunately.

Errr, the Touring is butt-heavy and the E46 M3 of 5 years ago had 333hp and is a much better balanced car. But I hear what you're saying, this new 3.0L engine is more powerful and more efficient than the previous one.

For '06, only the all wheel drive was available, but they brought back the rear wheel drive for '07. I was exaggerating a little when I said it drove like an m3, but its pretty nice for a wagon. Weight is 3527 lbs for the manual 328i wagon, 3415 lbs for the m3.

Sweet. I'm a bigger fan of the RWD as the xi just adds weight and increases the CG.

What options you going with?
