Forum: Mountain Biking

I got a free Giant Cadex hardtail from my coworker who used to race it. It had some really old Marzocchi fork on it, cantilivers, 7 speed Deore, flat bar, decent tires and a real ass-hatchet for a seat. Long story short, I put a 80mm Rockshox SID that I had laying around on it, tuned up the...

I really want to do this! http://www.bikenshoot.com/

but jeez. I am indecisive. You know... i probably shouldn't even start it. Anyways, here it goes. I AM GOING TO BUY A NEW BIKE!!!! (before next season) I want an all mountain/long legged xc machine. My trails have no reall ttf's or anything. Just a lot of climbing and single track. While i...

I bent my rear wheel this weekend pretty bad on a local trail. I doubt the LBS will be able to fix it so I will most likely need to buy a new one. I would like to eventually upgrade my bike to disc brakes, and was wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a wheel that has a v-brake rim and hub...

I'm pretty tall and pretty good on a road bike. I mainly ride my fixie on the road because it's simple and nothin to mess with. I have a nice geared bike I use for longer 80+ mile trips, but it usually just collects dust. I've been on a 26 inch Gary Fisher mountain bike for about 3 years and...

I've been thinking a lot lately about how bicycle transmissions could be simplified. My bike has crappy components and the chain slips often during shifting and the like. I was thinking about using a belt driven mechanism. It seems like a belt drive would be much more reliable. Continuous speed...

Flow didn't work out for several reasons. I took it downtown with the wheelset off the Komodo and noticed that pretty-much anything I'd ride on the Flow, I'd ride on the Komodo...yet the Komodo is much more comfortable for a dude my size. The TT on the Flow was on the short side. I felt like the...

You may or may not recall that a few months ago I was weighing what to do for a neck brace for downhilling. At the time, I was looking for observations on the EVS RC (Race Collar) and the then-new Leatt ADVenture - - both non-adjustable braces. As background, Leatt developed the around-$200...

I have an '05 Epic. Hope to be able to sell it for 1K. Hope to be able to get wife to let me spend another 2K. Want a new race rig. What are your suggestions?

I have been using Panaracer Dart and Smokes for years and it's time for a new set. WTB's Velociraptor looks like a great tire but since I do half riding on street and half in muddy conditions I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a tire that does well in mud and half way decent on...

I have a Cannondale F400 that I purchased used from CL. In the last few months, I've upgraded to Avid disc brakes, a full Sram X5 drivetrain and new wheels. The bike is great, with the exception of the fork. It came with a 100mm Manitou Elite which is a crappy, low-end coil fork with little...
