    Drive Train sort of slipping under Load

    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...

    Is this a common problem?

    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...

    Lake George -- Gurney Lane

    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...

    Will Fox Float RP23 work on an 6" Travel bike?

    I have all the parts to build up a new bike except the frame. I have a Fox Float RP23 Rear Shock, and a Fox Talas 32 RL FIT (150MM) fork from a Kona Cadabra that I cracked. I have my eye on an Azonic Avenger All Mountain frame with 6" travel. Would the RP23 and the Talas 32 be a good match...

    Looking for a 26" FS Large Frame

    I had a 26" 2011 Kona Cadabra that I cracked the frame. Kona gave me warranty credit towards a new bike (since they no longer have Cadabra frames). I ended up with a brand new Kona Big Honzo but now I have all the parts from my Cadabra. I'd love to build up a new bike for the quiver. So I...

    Parking Lot on Rt 27?

    I haven't ridden hear in a while but I drove past the RT27 parking lot the other day and noticed it was all under construction. I didn't stop to check it out but I was wondering if that lot is closed during construction or is it still kind of open. I was thinking of riding six mile next week...

    Anyone Ride without an ACL?

    I ruptured my ACL in my left knee 6 weeks ago. I am 44 years old and had already had it reconstructed about 15 years ago. My Orthopedic Surgeon is suggesting that it is probably not necessary to get it reconstructed again and that other than playing football or basketball, you can do pretty...

    Bike size for 12 year Boy who is growing like a weed?

    Yesterday I took my 12 year son out for his first ride of the season and noticed he out grew his 24inch MTB (Trek MT220). I raised the seat to its max and he was still too big for the bike to the point he complained his quads were hurting him after only 3/4ths of a mile. The problem is...

    Thule APEX 4 Bike Rack Review

    I just purchased the Thule APEX 4 Hitch Bike Rack after some lady crashed in to my Thule Ridgeline 954 (thankfully there was no bike on it and it actually acted as a bumper preventing damage to my explorer. First Impression was asthetically it looks nice and sleek. It can be removed from the...

    Loose spokes?

    I noticed that at least a half dozen spokes were loose on my rear Mavic Crossride. When I spin the wheel there is a slight wobble (between an 1/8th to 1/4 of in inch either way). My question is A.) Would I ruin my rims if I ride with loose spokes. B) Would it make sense to try to tighten the...

    Loose Rotor...

    I have Mavic Crossride Disk Wheelset and I noticed the rear rotor loosened up. I was in the woods so I managed to hand tighten the lock nut. I'm sure it should probably be tighter but it is not a regular nut shape so I probably shouldn't use a regular wrench to tighten it. Its more like a...
