    Questons about Jungle Habitat

    Wow, I can't believe my account still works... When I moved from NNJ about 10 years ago there was a rumor that interconnecting trails between Ringwood and JH (and some other parks, maybe Wawa) were approved. It sounded so epic at the time and I longed to come back and ride. Did these...

    what to do when brakes get soaked??

    I got a good tip from Cycle Works. When your brakes are squeeling stop and rub some mud or dirt on the rotors. Works for me everytime.

    I was robbed :(

    That last post isn't going to go over well. The fact that tools were stolen would lead me to believe that the bike wan't necessarily the target. So the chances of seeing someone riding on a trail is slim. I would also guess that theif was over 17 years in age, because they wouldn't really...

    Mountain Lion Sighting

    I have been reading about the rumors of mountain lions on the boards here for years with the problem being that there is never any hard evidence other than people just seeing them. Well supposedly someone in Central NY got a photo of one. If they are in Central NY is it very feasible that they...

    Pedro's or Parktool, what do you like to use and why?

    I do not recommend the Sette Kit. I got it cheap but everything except the allen key set has broke. All the metal on those wrenches just bends when used under pressure. My Sette tool set just slowly dies off. It is good for an entry level and all because it is cheap. But if you are going to...

    Jungle Habitat Sat or Sun?

    That's funny. You hit the line right but went down much more gently. He pretty much went over it at the worst spot and he went down face first pretty hard. He didn't even get his hand up. Wish i knew how to use his camera better.

    Localish (new england maybe?) vacation ideas for late october.

    I would do Portsmouth NH over Newburyport MA, and i would do Newport RI over any other New England tourist town. Portland ME, and Lake Placid NY are pretty areas as well.

    Jungle Habitat Sat or Sun?

    I most definitely did not challenge you to hit that. I passed up on it, and you were all "i'll do it." If anything i should have tried harder to stop you. But like when you insisted on bringing your cyclecross bike for an Allamuchy North ride, i felt you needed to learn some things on your own...

    Loud "clang" on steep climbs

    So basically something is causing it to shift and that isn't good when under a heavy load.

    Loud "clang" on steep climbs

    Did you feel anything too. The jumping rear derailleur will make a noticeable skip. Many times rear derailleurs only misbehave under higher pressure.

    Music

    Wow, some people on here actually talking some music i'm into. Whatever weird genre Yeasayer falls into i'm really into right now. If you like them i highly highly recommend the album 'Ganglians - Monster Head Room.' You can check out some of the tracks from the album here Lost words, Valient...

    Jungle Habitat race course?

    I used to think that shorter bars would make situations like Jungle easier and i rode them narrow for a while. I recently started riding wider bars and the increased control I have through rock gardens is well worth the times i have to finagle my handlebars through tight trees. I rode Jungle...

    banking: am i old skool?

    You can send checks via your online bank. They get deducted immediately from your checking account. The check may not get sent out for a couple of days though and it is mailed. So it may take up to a week to receive. The person or business you send the check to gets a bank check essentially.
