Would like to do a weekend bike trip around May up north (NY, Vermont, or New Hampshire area). Looking for recommendations on trails in these areas that have a decent amount of tech and rocks. Something similar to Northern Jersey riding like Ringwood and Jungle. Most of what I’m finding are...

Looking to replace my lower headset bearings and I haven’t been able to find a proper fitting replacement. It’s a standard 52mm length, however the depth is 8mm. Any info on where I can find bearings in these dimensions? Headset brand is Tange Seike. Company is overseas and doesn’t seem to sell...

Trying to remove my crank so I can clean/service my bottom bracket. I’m able to remove the drive side of the crank, however the non driver side that has the spindle attached to it won’t come out. Any ideas? The crank is a RaceFace affect 175mm direct mount cinch. Bottom Bracket appears to be...

I was riding Trumbull this past weekend when my front brake failed mid ride. During one of the steeper descents my front brake went from tight and responsive to spongy with almost no power. I was squeezing the brake lever down to the grip and getting only about 20% braking power. Took the pads...

I finally decided to attempt to convert my tires to tubeless. After taking a drop at sourlands landed me 2 pinch flats, I decided it was time. My rims are tubeless ready so they were already taped. I was able to get the tire seated well using the Topeak Joe blow pump and used Stans tire...

What type of tire would you recommend that is easy to install/remove? I am not running tubeless. Just purchased a Maxis Aggressor tubeless ready/folding and the tire was near impossible to mount onto my rim. If you’re running tubes, are wired tires easier to remove/mount than folding tires?

Finished a ride this past weekend and noticed there was excessive brake rub on the rotor with the front tire. So at home I go through the usual check list to see what the problem is: make sure the wheel is properly trued, check that the rotor is not bent, Re-align the brake caliper, loosen the...

So I'm having some trouble installing a new fork. The fork is a 2017 fox 34 talas with a tapered stearing tube going into a 2017 intense tracer. When I tighten down the top cap of the headset, the stearing is way to tight. When I loosen the top cap a little, there is way to much play (slack). I...

Brand new (take off) Rock Shox Yari RC 27.5” Solo air, 160mm, boost 110x15mm with “stealth” decals Asking $400

Took a decent fall at Jungle last weekend and snapped my stearing tube. Wondering if this has ever happened to anyone before. Fork is 2011 fox talas 32. Was shipped back to the company to see if it’s even worth rebuilding.

Was to curious to know what is the preference of stem length for some riders? I've been riding with a 100mm stem for a while, but was thinking the length may be a bit longer than I need. I also noticed I get some minor back pain after 2+ hour rides. I was thinking this may be caused from leaning...

Been having trouble with my front wheel vibrating and shaking alot when braking at fast speeds. Wondering where the problem could be coming from? The rotor is not bent and the rim seems to be straight (tru'd it as best as I could). Anything else that would cause such noticable vibrations? Wheel...

I was riding Ramapo on sat morning with a friend. Started from skyline drive parking lot and took cannonball run (great switchback). From there we took blue to orange along the ridge. On orange we came across a group of hikers on one of the lookout spots that made it there point to let us know...

Long time observer of the site and finally took the initiative to sign up. I live in Staten Island and have been riding for a few years. Trails are fairly mediocre by me. Nothing exciting but its where I first started ridding and discovered the love of mountain biking. My favorite trails to...
