Thanks! I'll check it out. hopefully its still there.

I may have left my Don Joy Knee Brace in the parking lot (or on my bumper) on Sunday 9/17. Please post if anyone has found it. Thanks!

I just came from East Hampton...rode Hither Hills. Place is very unique. About 20 miles of very flowy, Very fast not particulary groomed (a lot of branch debris, thorns) not very technical but fun. As others have said the views are great! Several different echo systems... old woods, scrub...

That could be a possibility...(I believe M3Tim was thinking the same thing)... The smallest 4 or 5 cogs are loose. There is a spacer sits behind the cassette that I may not need. I can't remember if it came with the Sunrace Cassette or if it was always there. I could try removing that. I'll...

Yep... I by-passed the cage, compressed the suspension and added two links. It is an XT (M780).

I didn't think that the M7000 would be so inexpensive... definitely worth thinking about. BTW off the top of my head I am pretty sure I have an M780. It came off a 2011 bike. I think it makes the best sense to get rid of the old derailuer as who knows how straight the cage is. For 42 clams I...

Thanks I considered the Goat Link but it says its only compatible with Derailleurs with a clutch. I did install a longer B-Screw I'll play with that. Just curious... did you install a chain guide when you converted?

After converting a Frankenbike from a 3x10 to a 1x10 with a 30t narrow-wide chain ring and a SunRace Wide Ratio 11-42 Cassette it seems like there is some kind of slippage going when on the smallest cog. When its on the stand, everything seem fine... perfect indexing. But when under heavy load...

About 2 years ago I bought my son who was 8 at the time a new 2015 Trek MTB XSmall Frame - 27.5 wheel size. It was fine for riding on the road but now that he is older I took him on trails and the combination of the xsmall frame and the 27.5 wheel size causes him to wedge his foot between the...

I was counting on getting a 20 miler at Allaire today. One of the few days a year I had enough time to do so. I pulled up to hospital rd lot and saw the tape. I went a little further and parked next to a few other cars on the side of the road. I was just about to take my bike off the rack but...

If anyone is heading up to Lake George this summer and looking for a really fun place to ride... try Gurney Lane Bike Park. It is located in Queensbury NY less than 10 minutes from downtown Lake George. There is not much info on this site so I figured I'd post some. This place is not very big...

Last night I came across a massive tree down on tiger woods. Probably about 2-3 feet in diameter. I can't believe it didn't fall sooner the entire base is completely rotted.

Hey thanks for the Replies. Both are very informative. Its funny...I often hear from others what is is considered technical every where else wouldn't be that technical in NJ. I might now be leaning towards Dupont (as it is a little closer to where I'll be staying then Pisgah).

If that doesn't work...and you don't think its your BB...try checking out your pedals. Try to temporarily swap out your pedals (one a time) from either a spare set or another bike so you can rule them out. On more than one occasion I had went through the whole rigmarole of taking apart and...

I will be heading to the Casheirs/Highlands section of the Blue Ridge Mtns. I will be going with 12 family members...to everyone else this is not an MTB vacation however it is for me :). I may only get 1 or 2 days to ride so I want to make it count. I will probably be riding solo -- I am...
