Here's my first race report!
Whoa, that was intense! I finished 2nd out of 31 in the Beginner's race, so I felt like a sandbagger. There was a lot of technical stuff (logs, rocks, steep cliffs,...

Thanks. I thought maybe lower pressure would be better. I've been running 60psi and I don't seem to get enough bite. Should be fun! :D

First Race Questions

I have my first race this weekend. I have a good base from riding my tri bike, but I've only got 60 miles on my new MTB. It's hard to put in a lot of miles when I'm also tri-ing to swim, bike, run....

Pressure should have been good---I think I had 50lbs or so. It just seems odd that both tires would crap out so quickly. On the road bike, when I have a flat, I know it right away. These seem to...

I haven't changed the tubes yet. It must be a pinhole leak on both tires. I might see if I can patch them just for now and then change tubes and tires once I have a chance to research this. I...

Why do bike companies do this? My tri bike is a Cervelo One and it came with Kenda Koncepts. To me, it doesn't make sense to put $15.00 tires on a $1500.00 bike. I had 3 flats in 200 miles. It...

2 Flats in 12 Miles!

I bought a new Cannondale a week ago and have only managed to get out twice so far due to other training and the weather. I can't seem to keep air in the tires. They are Hutchinson Mosquitos. I...

Hell, I've got a basement full of real bikes including a 1986 Specialized Rockhopper, 1982 Fuji Del Rey, 2001 Cannondale R500, and a 2002 Cervelo One. I haven't ridden the Rockhopper in years. I am...

New Kid in Town

Actually, I'm not a kid---I'm a geezer (39) but I am looking forward to doing some MTB racing. I've been running off and on since 1979 and started doing triathlons (8 sprints so far) in 2001. My...
