    N+1: I can't make up my mind

    OK, here's the long of it...I've been going through this "thing"; getting rid of everything (or trying to) and streamlining my life. But, I've had a-hankerin' for a mtb. I have my eye on a used one right here on this board. It's inexpensive and what seems to be a decent entry-level ride...

    Cleaning Out the Drey-Pt. 1

    I've been wanting to do rid myself of "stuff" for a long time. The thought of a n+1 has finally motivated me into action. I'm in Jersey City, but we can arrange a meeting as far south as 6MR on the weekends or a mid-way point in North. This will be the first of a few. FSA Omega Shallow Drop...

    Rental/Demo-Trails combo

    So I got this friend, we'll say his name is Quirrels. Quirrels rides road and CX, but Quirrels is interested in maybe trying some single track in Jersey. What would be a good recommendation for a shop that rents/demo's decent mtb's and is near some trails that Quirrels might be able to handle...

    The View From The Drey

    Since I joined last year I’ve lurked on this sub-forum. I’ve found all of the threads interesting. I’ve thought about starting one of my own, but I’ve had a bit of apprehension. First, I’m sort of new around here and still making my way around. Second, I’m just not sure I have the stamina to...

    My new Idol

    I watch CX races while I burn away on the trainer at 5:30a. For me, the men's pro euro races are starting to become a lot like pro tennis. Those select few who are big engines (power hitters) who just seem to dominate with sheer force. I decided to start watching the women and see if it held...

    Jaamarktcross: Spider web...Brilliant or not

    I caught the end of the live stream of Jaamarktcross this morning at work. I didn't know what to make of the new "spider web" feature. Opinions? In case you didn't see it: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/jaarmarktcross-race-organisers-hoping-spider-web-attracts-the-fans/ गिलहरी

    Dear Brain Trust: Hand Up Etiquette

    Dear Brain Trust, This is a two part question. 1. What is the consensus on Halloween candy hand-up's? I got two bags and NO ONE at work needs more candy. Period. 2. If Milky Way's and Three Musketeer's are fine, then what's the rule about unwrapping it before it's handed up? My mother...

    Dear Brain Trust: Mixing Tire Treads

    Dear Brain Trust: I'm racing Bubble on Sunday, CAT 5. I've watched the videos and I know that there is a beach, some solid flats, grass and wooded areas. I'm on clinchers this season and I have to make my choices early according to what I'm seeing in the forecast. It looks like it will be...

    Attaching my number

    I'm losing my patience with the whole pinning my number thing. I don't want to rely on someone to "tighten" me up anymore. I searched online for tips and came across spray glue. I happen to have a can of 3M 77 in the basement and I'm thinking of giving this a go. Is this an acceptable...

    Please school me on the One Day License

    There are 5-6 races I'm interested in doing this season. When I raced last it was the USCF and I don't remember a One Day License option. Can I get a ODL for each of these races or is there a limit that I'm not seeing in the fine print? The extra $10-20 won't kill me. I'm really just...

    Here I am.

    Hey, New to CX, hoping to get in a few races this season. Live in Jersey City. I'm hoping to glom the finer points and maybe find a practice group in the area. I'm looking forward to making a fool of myself this fall.
