what did everyone think of today's race? i think the course was faster than last week. I managed to not crash, thanks to whoever decided to sweep the gravel off that corner between the first and second barns. once again, skylands and bulldogs did a great job. and how about that parking! :popcorn:

I heard a few people talking about going to this race last Sunday. I'm registered and could be looking for a carpool buddy. What I mean is, I'm taking my van and have room for another person. Any takers?? Preferably someone who's NOT in the Beginner Category so I won't have to leave so early...

This is a shot in the dark, or perhaps just a PSA for you guys. My car was parked at my business on Rt 22 in Bridgewater and during the night, some pieces of human filth stole my Thule Sidearm carrier from my roof racks. They managed to do it without damaging any other part of the load bars, ie...

A new velodrome is proposed to be built in the town of Hillsborough, NJ. So far, the plan is in the opening stages of being brought to the municipality's attention, but what is most important right now is that enough people actually show an interest in it so we're taken seriously at the...

Anyone know about an accident that occurred in the last month where a mountain biker crashed at Allaire and got a massive head injury and needed to be airlifted out? The guy happens to be a customer of mine and I saw him a couple weeks after the accident. He had a major dent in his forehead...

Anyone going for a ride Easter Sunday?

What are your feelings about racing on an SS 'cross bike? I can see the obvious advantage; less chance of mechanical failures and disadvantages; wrong gear ratio for the course. But there must be a way to dial your bike properly. What is a good front chain ring, 38t? cog? The bikes I ride are...

I have Crank Brothers Candy SL pedals that I want to re-grease. The instructions state simply that you remove the End Plug, screw in the included Grease Adapter, and apply grease to the fitting. Problem is, the tip on the grease gun that fits most automotive type zerk fittings is too big for the...

So, I haven't been into longer-distance riding or competitive cycling until this year and I have never succombed to purchasing spandex gear. My friends have busted my balls because I dress like a "freerider" when they're donning their kits. I really couldn't give a turkey what I look like as...

So this afternoon I was tooling around on my 29er near my house, happy that it wasn't raining, but knowing full well a thunderstorm was forecast for the afternoon. I was marveling at the sky while pretending curbs were log crossings when I realized, "hey, it's getting seriously dark...and that's...

Does anybody know if a Karate Monkey has enough clearance on the downtube for the knobs on a Fox F29 fork?

It pains me to do it, but I'm putting my big bike up for sale to fund another build. It's an '06 Iron Horse 7 Point 3 with a brandy new Marz 888 RC2-VX fork. Other bits include Hayes Nines, Deity bar and stem, Funn pedals, WTB wheels, SRAM drivetrain, Ethirteen bashguard. Frame size is 15" and I...

I'm new to this forum, but am familiar with many of the places we ride. I live in Hillsborough right by the Sourlands, although I ride mostly in North Jersey. My background is in dirt jumping and freeride, but this year I decided to boost my fitness and do some XC riding. I decided on a SS 29er...
