    Should Trek / LBS get into the rental business ?

    Is there anywhere in NJ (other than Creek) that rents mountain bikes ? This also talks to the Trek connection...if I knew Trek stores rented bikes I would know where to go when I travelled to get a solid rental bike. I am not suggesting seasonal, as I don;t think there is the same synergy with...

    Should Trek / LBS get into the rental business ?

    This is biased by what I am reading about inventory gluts, etc and coming back from a ski trip where I demo'd skis. There are people still out riding bikes that are 10+ years old, because they used to ride and don't want to bite the bullet on a new bike just yet. You could have a group of...

    Lewis Morris Conditions

    Go to Tourne... It is much rockier and drains well. It will take weeks, not days, for Lewis Morris to dry.

    Recovery is the new Black (The Sober Thread)

    10 years sober. I actually had a dream about G&T's the other night. The thought of going back terrifies me..not a healthy relationship.

    Mia Meets Bike

    Umm... Your demographic is 50 year old men... Who happen to be the one buying all the mountain bikes and parts. Seems like a great fit. I also find that i have very little to say to people who don't ride.

    Brake service lesson learned

    20 min at 400 degrees did the trick. I put the the pads/rotors on aluminum foil to avoid contamination. Definitely worth a try.

    Flat tv wanted. (for a friend)

    It is crazy how many perfectly good flat screens are at the recycling center. If your car has a plug just bring an extension cord to test them.

    Brake service lesson learned

    Hate to disappoint you all...but i went for a long ride today and the brakes were great. Night and day difference. They went from squealing like crazy (and bordering on dangerous) to dead silent and powerful.

    Brake service lesson learned

    Tried to bleed brakes... Got mineral oil on calipers. Cut braking effectiveness in half (at best). Annoyed me endlessly. Out of frustration i pulled the rotors and pads...baked them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Seems to have done the job. Much better.

    So out for my weekend ride on Sunday the 5th. Fall off a rock roll-over with a steep downhill bank. Land hard, look down, and my pinkie is at a hard left. While lying on the ground tangled in my bike I say "oh no no" grab that sucker and yank. Hop up, adjust my jank'd brake levers, and...
