First ride today, WHOA......
so went biking today, on a Giant Reign 3 actually, not FSR XC Pro, not Rockhopper, but a Reign 3. So went biking around campus and than to a state park with some friends, took a couple 5 footers or less.......all i can say is......this is better than sex.......anyways, probably will be upgrading the disc brake to a bb5 from the hays s0le. also, the wtb saddle became loose after like 2 hours, its out of position, anyone know how to fix this??

Nice bikes. But you're not doing the whole sex thing right if the bike is better than sex.

Throw the stick!!!!
Glad you had a good time. If you are doing 5 footers on your first ride then this is definately the sport for you.

Is there anything else I should know about Hayes such as brake failure? I don't want to be going really fast and have something break.
