    Best flow trails in North Jersey?

    its all relative right, i have never ridden anything in NJ with that many switchbacks, it was fun. That being said I am going to visit my sister in Tahoe and will be riding out there which will be a problem for when i get back to jersey

    Best flow trails in North Jersey?

    just rode lewis morris was pretty damn good, last time i rode it was with a beginner rider (a friend) and it was muddy as hell so we didn't make it very far. The yellow loop has some nice switchbacks and that blue run was pretty sweet

    yeah I actually emailed raceface customer service, they said the smallest i could run on their 40mm rims was a 2.4 so I'm definitely thinking of going down to a 2.6

    Tire combinations for rocky North Jersey

    yeah I definitely want to try the park out but it won't be a regular thing. I've been impressed with how well my recon's exo casing has held up, I feel like i have really beat them up and they've never quit on me. My major concern with putting the DHR2 on would be it slowing the bike down on...

    Hey everyone. First post here would appreciate the input. I'm riding a santa cruz tallboy with 27.5 plus (2.8) maxxis recon tires currently and need to make a change due to tire wear. Curious what other people run Maxxis wise (or other brands) to ride the rocky trails up here in the north...
