    Does anyone have experience with either SCHWALBE Ice Spiker Pro HS 379 Studded or Hans Dampf Snake Skin tires ? Trying to decide what works best on a 29er this time of year on North Jeresy trails.

    Youth Baggy Shorts

    My 10.5 year old daughter just inherited her brother's old mountain bike. Her entire attitude about riding has changed and begs me to take her every chance she gets. WooHoo! I'm trying to find her quality padded shorts. She's a youth size 14. She's starting to get curves and refuses to wear...

    Carbon Post slipping

    I have an Easton carbon seat post on an aluminum Superfly. The post slips as much as an inch each ride. I'm using the stock collar which is not quick release. I already degreased the seat tube and am pretty sure I am tightening the seat collar too much as it is now. Any advise ? Is Tacx Carbon...

    New Superfly & learning how to ride it

    Mike at Town Cycle built me up a Superfly AL 100 Pro with some custom wheels. It rides like a dream, but a longer stem and some bars with less sweep are in my very near future. Are there any bike skills videos/books that really explain how riding a 29er is different and what to do to...

    Smallest 29er Frame Sizes ?

    I'm looking to move up to a 29er FS in the next few months for XC riding. Problem is I'm only 5'6" with an 28 inch inseam. I looked at the specs from Specialized, Turner, Santacruz & Giant but they all have 29 inch standover heights in their smallest frame sizes. I found the Trek Superfly AL...

    Camping with kids ?

    Anyone have advice on tent camping with a 5 your old girl and 8 year old boy ? It's just for the weekend, but I am committed to making it technology free - no phones for me and the wife and no Nintendos for the kids.

    How long to wait for the goo ?

    I have a ZTR rim and replaced the blown tire with a Kenda UST. I added 2 cups of Stan's and heard a nice pop when I inflated the tire to 40 pounds. How long do I need to wait before the goo does what it is supposed to and I can ride on wheel ? I put it in the bathtub and saw no bubbles in...

    Questions for the roadies among us

    I've been riding off-road for most of my adult life. I like to consider myself more of a "large and fit" type as opposed to a couch potato. I love my baggies and would do anything to ride on tight singletrack. The ZEN of getting outdoors and in the woods keeps me sane. I've noticed that...

    Google maps petition

    I came by this last night and thought it was harmless enough ... Ask the kind and benevolent folks at Google to add 'bike there' as a choice to Google maps along with 'drive there' and 'take public transportation there.' http://www.petitiononline.com/bikether/petition.html #425

    Lopes Signature Knee Guard

    My Fox knee/shin guards are barely hanging in there after about 18 months of use. I'm thinking about the TLD Lopes Signature Knee/Shin Guard despite the $70 price tag. Does anyone have any experience with these ?

    Fall/Winter Clothing

    What do you folks recommend as far as fall and/or winter Tights. I saw the earlier post about winter gear, but it was mostly about jerseys. I use shorts and leg warmers today, but find that the warmers tend to slip. I am thinking of something heavier - like tights from either Craft or Pearl...

    Greetings from West Milford

    Great site ! I've been riding a hardtail since the late 80s back in the day when neon was all the rage. I thought I would be a hardtail bum forever, but finally gave in and bought a dual suspension this year. Don't know why I waited so long - I feel like a kid again on the trails. I tried...
