Who said $7000???? My bike is worth around $4,000, so the repairs are just under $2,300. I purchased the bike for 2000, but my wheels are custom built and are over 700, upgraded to all Ultegra 6700 for another 1500, so the value is about 4000. But then again if you remove the value of the...

Last weekend, I was hit by a car while cycling through Chester Borough, NJ by a 17 yearold traveling south on rt 24, I was traveling north on 24. He made a left turn into the Chester Mall just north of Alstedes Farm and did not see me. Luckily, I was NOT seriously injured, but my bike was...

I am sooo grateful I was able to walk away without any serious injury. If I had been going just a half a MPH faster, I would have gone right in front of him and would have received a direct hit. Then there is a possibility I would not have survived it. So, I have alot to be grateful for...

It was a very frightening experience. Luckily, somehow I didn't have any injuries. Just some soreness and a couple of scrapes. The bike shop said they would get back to me on Monday and let me know the situation. Thanks for the help all!!!

Was hit by a car today in Chester. Was riding north on Rout 24 and was in front of the Chester Mall when a car that was traveling south on 24 made a left turn to go into the mall. I was crossing the entrance . Kid was going fairly fast. I hit his front passenger side fender and went flying...

I am just curious about LM and if it has recovered from last week's big storm. Has anyone ridden there this past weekend. I figured with about a week of nice dry weather it has improved. I have stayed away figuring it may take a couple of weeks. Anyone know if the trails are ok to ride...

I have also looked at some Formula and Hope brakes. They also look REAL nice. I really don't have much tolerance for noise, howling etc. I spent a lot of time making sure my XTR 965 calipers were bled and shimmed properly to avoid any and all noise. I like the wheel to spin freely without...

Yes, they are the disc brake version. I originally used XT 756 Brake levers with the XTR Calipers and used the older 952 Rapidfire XTR Shifters. I did that for a few months before I purchased the DC's.

I want to replace my aging Dual control XTR 965 shifter/brake lever. I am thinking of getting either Avid Elixir CR's or a version of Hayes Stroker Brakes. Which would you guys get and why. It looks like the Avid's would be much easier to bleed, but I really don't know. I am also looking ate...

LM Conditions Thanks for the info. I will try to get there later today. I know the spot where it is usually a mud pit and takes awhile to dry out. I will avoid those areas. Thanks again, Kevin

Anyone been to LM the past couple of days? Is the whole place mud? Any sections OK? Thanks, Kevin

If you look around, you can probably find the GPSMap 60CSx for around $300. Then of course, you need software.............It is a compact GPS with GREAT GREAT reception.

The reception with the 60CSx is fantastic. Even under full tree cover it is tremendous. I personally love to train hard, but I don't worry at all about HR and all that stuff, because I just love to Mountain Bike not matter what. I know how I feel when I ride and know what is going on with my...

I own both the Garmin GPSMap 60CS and the newer GPSMap 60CSx. The 60CSx is leaps and bounds better than the 60CS because of the Sirf chip. With the 60CS I had to use a small antenna attached to my helmut, but with the CSx I just place the unit in a back packet of my camelback and NEVER lose...

Stockton, How did you manage to ride through Jockey Hollow?? I heard stories that they would come after you on ATV's and confiscate your bike if caught riding in there. I would love to try it, if the route you took goes around Jockey Hollow without really violating the space there. I am...

I have to try and figure that out (labeling the trails with colors). I have thought about doing it, but that is about it. It really shouldn't be to difficult to do, I know which trails are which, I just need to sit and do it. You won't see me with my little antenna anymore. My GPS is...

I use a Garmin GPSMap 60CSx. I also have a 60CS, but the 60CSx is far superior. At least in terms of sensitivity. With the 60CS I would have to use a small antenna attached to my helmet. It worked but even with the antenna, there would be times when I would lose the signal. With the...

Today it was 31.29 miles, yesterday 29.81, Wednesday 29.61 miles. Sometimes I will add the rest of PP to Speedwell lake. But that ride is outright boring, so I don't usually bother with that. Here are the kmz files from Wednesday and today.
