I went tubless last year and wanted to a little help on maintenance and general repair. 1)First off I wanted to know how often I should add or change the liquid in the tire? How do you know you have enough. The bike has been in the garage for some time now so I am sure evaporation, etc have...

I had a question about what is "normal" air loss. I went tubeless last season and I noticed this year I am losing quite a bit of air in my rear tire. Seems every time I get on my bike I notice more air loss. I thought it was the weather and evaporation of the fluid with the recent hot spell...

I converted my tires to tubless last season and wanted to get it ready for this season. Not sure what, if anything I need to do. I know you need to add some of the solution over time, but how do you know when you need to do it? Anything else that needs to be done? Thanks.

Don;t know if this has been discussed but it looks pretty cool http://www.gizmag.com/cannondale-simon-electronic-fork-lefty/13711/

This may have been discussed before but I could not find anything from a search of the site so I will ask the question. Do they cleaning tools/brushes work? I have seen these from Park Tool and Pedros among others. I am wondering if a basic brush would work just as well. Anyone have any...

Looking for a repair stand for a MTB. Something that is in good shape. Thanks. :popcorn:

Have 4 tix (section 109) and blue parking pass for the 9/12 and 9/19 games. Both games come with the blue lot parking pass (great tailgating lot). Unfortunately I cannot make either game due to prior obligations The tickets and pass are face $220. PM me with a reasonable offer and...

I need a recommendation a kids trailer. It needs to hold two kids (one being an infant >6mnths). I am looking for something comfortable for them and me (I don't want to feel like I am lugging around a ton of weight) and reasonably priced. I have seen the chariot line but these are like $400+...

I needed some help on adjusting disc brakes. It appears my rear brake is loosing up a bit. The brakes still works fine but previously I would just need to tap the lever to initiate the brake. I now need to press in a significant amount before I get the same results. I assume this is from use...

Just wanted to get feedback on where everyone gets their gear and other items online? I prefer to go to my LBS for certain items, so I can get opinions and "touch" the product, but for others I don't see the need. I have seen price point and hucknroll. Anyone use any of these? Just want...

I went over to six mile this weekend to check it out, for future reference, as I was in the area. I was wondering where everyone parks/starts. A lot of the roads were closed due to flooding but I tried to follow the navi and I have to say it was beyond confusing. I could not even find the...

Ok I had the unfortunate luck of getting two flats this weekend while riding. They were both due to thorns. While changing the flats I realized I need a better option, so my question is is there a difference in tube brands? I am using a Giant presta valve tube. I have seen tube running from...

Quick question - could not find any mention in my search of past posts. I started riding again and have hit a few trails over the past few weeks. Had a few quick questions on gear and wanted to get feedback 1) I now see the need for padded shorts. Looking online I see you can buy a road...

Just wondering how often you clean your chain. Also, do those chain cleaner tools with degreaser work?

I wanted to get feedback on what you consider essentials for a day trip in the trails. Also, wanted to know what the preference was for carrying these items - backpack, seat bag or some other means. 1) pump 2) tube (or two) 3) patch kits 4) levers 5) Some sort of multi tools (any...

I noticed some rattling coming from the front of my bike (almost like the sound of a bearing in the front rim). Its not a constant noise and appears to happen only once I turn at a certain angle. It is driving my crazy and I want to make sure it is not part of a larger issue. Any ideas? :hmmm:

I have never ridden mercer but am thinking about checking it out, as it appears to have a bunch of good beginner sections. From the trails to ride (red, blue, orange) which would be good for a beginner? Also, are the trails packed on the weekends? Just curious, as this is my first ride in...

Anyone rising one of these bikes? I wanted to get some feedback. I went and rode on today long with the xtc1 and the cannondale 29er 2. I have to say I loked the feel of the Giants. I definitely noticed the difference in the xtc 1, but the price range is a bit high which is the reason I am...

I had previously posted about my attempt to getting back into riding after many years off. Based on the advice on the forum I went to halters and met up with a few of the guys, and as everyone stated the shop is great and the everyone is very knowledgeable. I was pretty sure I was going to go...

I am getting back into riding after a long time. I started researching bikes and what would fit my needs and need some feedback/advice. I am planning on splitting my time between road and off road. About 70% road and 30% off-road initially,which will hopefully work its way to be about 50%...
