    My unprofessional review of Cushcore

    Do you need cushcore? MAYBE. Do you want cushcore? YES. Does cushcore make you a better rider? My recent PR's say its possible. I am a big guy that has made more than one set of wheels into a square. I upgraded to a wider wheelset a few weeks ago and realized that I didn't want to destroy...

    Has anyone stitched a sidewall tear?

    On my ride yesterday I destroyed a sidewall on a tire with 29 miles on it. I was riding an area that was relatively easy compared to my normal wildcat gnar. Shockingly this is my first sidewall tear ever... I was able to put a tube in with some cardboard to hold it together for the ride back to...

    We have lost one of our own.

    I was told this morning that my long time friend and a long time member here has passed away. I was told it was a biking related incident but I will edit this post when I hear more details. @RetroGrouch (Ed) was a great man to be around and rode bikes for the joy of it. He always put a smile on...

    Cushcore... Does anyone run them?

    Recently I dropped my tire pressure to 28 rear 21 front. I previously ran 35 rear 30 front. Now I'm a big guy... around 260 lbs. So my new pressure might be a little low. But I ride so much better with the lower tire pressure. Climbing and descending the added grip is amazing. I took 3 minutes...

    So I crushed my right thumb in an equipment trailer jack...

    Is my riding season over for a while or can I source a left hand shifter for an 11 speed rear shifter? Pics attached for those of you interested... the first 2 are right after it happened and the third is this morning. The nail feels like its separated and pushing my thumb down hurts like mad...

    Seattle bound! Time for some PNW!

    So my buddy decided to get married in seattle and told me I'm in the wedding party... Costing me an arm and a leg but I figured I'd make a vacation of it and could not pass the opportunity to rent a bike and ride. I scheduled a demo bike for a couple days. I went with a pivot mach 6 xt carbon...

    Flat pedal shoe recommendations

    I know you guys will all say convert to clipless or die... But I prefer flats and need new shoes. My 20 dollar wal-mart skate shoes are shot. To be honest the walmart skate shoes lasted me 3 years but where never the most comfortable and are a pretty sloppy fit which I think is leading to my...

    A reminder on what will for sure be a hot topic...

    I want people to remember that WMA lands have rules that pertain to mountain bikers... As a hunter and mountain biker, I am getting really tired of people constantly riding thru while I am legally hunting (disturbing lawful hunting activities is a punishable offense of between $100 and $500). As...

    Recomended trails in the lake George area?

    I'm heading up to lake George next week and I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on where to ride. Last year we hit Gurney lane and north creek ski bowl park. I dont really want to ride any lift service areas as my bike is a hardtail ( and you know free is better). I was looking at spier...

    New guy here

    New member here. My name is Dan, I ride a hardtail. I started my riding career in wildcat ridge (trailhead right out of my back yard), possibly the most difficult area in NJ. So the good part about that is everywhere else seems really easy... I try to ride a few times a week and normally ride on...
