Around 3pm, the store was packed and the store was completely redone, especially in the Camping and biking departments. I came back after work and was bought a box of GU (24 pacs in a box) and Mark came running to...

    FS: 2008 Specialized FSRxc Expert - LARGE

    Hey Guys, I listed my bike originally on Craigslist but I am not comfortable with the buyers since they have limited or no knowledge about mountain biking. I would much rather have someone here have it and take care of it as much as I have. Original link...

    Planet Bike - East Brunswick, NJ

    This store is not that bad. I normally head over there to see if they got anything I need that was not in the other usual stores I go to. Their selections of accessories are limited, very limited but for the size of the shop they do have a lot of bikes on the rack. My most recent visit was...

    Longer Chain Ring Bolts

    I need longer Chainring/Crank Arm bolts. The crankset is a Shimano M-770 XT. I run all three chainrings with a Salsa Toothfairy triple ring bashguard and it worked fine on my XC but due to the way the Front Derailleur (M-770 DMD Top Swing) is setup on my enduro, the derailleur arm rubs on the...

I work in Martinsville, up the street from CR and normally I park the car along Chimney Rock Rd by the reservoir when I take my bike out and had no problem. Yesterday, I see a vehicle parked where I normally park...

    A small story to start this. Yesterday, I went to Chimney rock for my very first snow ride. From the moment I hit the snow with the front tires, I knew its more than I thought it would be. It was a pain and a half finding balance and traction. The following incident sparked my eagerness to...

    Okay, I know this many sound like a very dumb question, but bear with me please. I run presta valved tubes on my bike. As of late, i switched to specialized think walled tubes. The problem I am having is the stupid unscrew-able stopper on the top keeps braking. First time I broke it, it was...

Tried on my winter leggings, underarmour cold gear compression shirt and the new Zone 3 "pitch"-something jacket I bought at Campmor yesterday.
