it really is going to depend on your riding style and the conditions your riding in. i switched to tubeless last year, 26" wheels - kenda nevegals. i weigh 225, and like to ride anywhere between 40 to 45 psi, just enough squish without slowing me down too much. its something you have to play...

also, if you were interested i have a origin 8 scout 29er that i put a reba race 80mm on the front end, plus a nine speed hub our back. i was debating on selling it. it is a hardtail - wasnt sure if you were looking for duel suspension or not. thanks

honestly you could relace your whole front wheel with a new hub if you wanted, but that costs time and money, especially if you cant do it yourself. my suggestion would be to just sell your front wheel and try to find a matching 20mm front wheel. if not, theres nothing really wrong with a...

i would definately recommend the epic 29er series from specialized. 2012 Epic Comp 29, msrp $3300

def stick with a 29er. look for about 5"-6" of travel. def ust ready wheels, screw tubes. and i say go 2x10 - if the bike comes stock with 3x10, i would replace the outer ring with a bashguard, but thats me

have you since tried the carbo specific grease? another thought could be to try a silicone based lube (like liquid wrench). its a cheap possible solution.

so you are selling this bike. are you looking to replace it? make a change? i have a 2009 khs xc team - very high spec set up. wasn't sure if you would have any interest. thanks.

for younger kids, i have always found keeping it a little simplier makes the riding experience much better. i say go with 1x9. go with an 11-34 cassette in the rear - that should offer a good range of gear options.

hey off topic, but where is "whiteface" at?

8" it much more plus and your body will thank you by the end of the day. how's it been up there this year anyway - kind of unofficially took the year off.

i have light brackets on all my bikes, and just clip in the light as needed. its a blackburn combo set, nothing fancy.

WOOPS!!! That is pretty bad. Fortunately nothing like that happened in the Cherry Hill area. Just some localized flooding - nothing to be up in arms about.

If you have a decent amount of spacers on your steer tube, try dropping your stem/bars a little bit. There is no harm in having spacers above your stem. Find out what works best for you. And YES - go get fitted. I know it might sound weird, but ask the shop to put the bike up on a trainer, or...

I would have to agree with "gtluke". Also, having worked as a bike mechanic for several years, YES use carbon specific grease and make sure you're coating all the surfaces - both the frame and bearings and races. I know it might sound weird, but make sure that its not your cabling...

I guess I should specify, I am mostly interested in performance, not so much cosmetics. Do any of you guys own either of these bikes? Ever riden them? Let me know. Thanks.

Sorry I forgot to put the links of the bikes in. This should make things easy for everyone. Thanks again. http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/singletrack_trail/fuel_ex/fuel_ex_9# http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/trance.x/7321/44095/

So I am shopping around for that "do it all" bike, and I think I have narrowed it down to 2 bikes: 1. Trek Fuel EX 9 2. Giant Trance X1 I wanted to see some other people's opinions between the 2 bikes. Do you guys think these are good "do it all" bikes? Should I be looking into...

arent the pads and armor extra? you can rent just the bike, or the bike and equipment - pretty sure.

yes nj looks like an "s", but that wouldnt make any sense? unless "rsde" means something that i'm not aware of

I hear there is another DH/FD "park" a little closer to Philly than Blue? Its also at a ski resort. Anyone hear anything like that?
