    Shimano Deor LX Cranks

    Non-drive side crank keeps falling off. Ruined two of my rides. Are they toast? Didn't even last a year. :(

    Road Riding in the Dark - Questions

    Since the trails are too wet to ride and it's dark out after work, I found a 12 mile road loop that I am considering trying at night on my mountain bike. The first half of the ride is on a terrible road that has pot holes, loose gravel, ravines, Deliverance house, no street lights, desolate, no...

    Year-Round Kid Sports Overdose

    Wondering if you folks will weigh in on this situation because of your athletic backgrounds and it appears that many of you have kids. My daughter is 12 and 5'10". She's played basketball since second grade. In sixth grade she played about 75 games in AAU and travel teams from October...

    From Kids bike to Adult bike

    My 8 year old daughter is currently riding a couple year old Giant girls mountain bike. We feel that the cons about the bike are that it is really heavy, has a kind of useless shock and grip shift. I'd like to take her on more challenging single track and have her learn to clear logs and...

    Vegetables

    My 12 year old daughter decided to become a vegetarian yesterday. I handed her my vegetarian cookbook last night while she watched us eating pasta and meat sauce. She flipped through the pages and said, "yuck...there are vegetables in everything". This is going to be fun. :rolleyes:

    Ridin' Solo

    My riding partner didn't show up for our regularly scheduled Sunday morning ride this week. I was worried that I would have a crumby ride by myself. I always ride with a group or one other person. I actually really enjoyed riding solo. Just went exploring riding stuff I hadn't ridden before...

    Widow Maker and others?

    I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what are all of the names that people call the various features on the Kittatinny trails and where they are located. I know of Three Sisters, Grave Yard and Marble Shoot. Someone mentioned Widow Maker, but I'm not sure where that is. :hmmm: Thanks.

    Single Speed NooB

    Going to take out the SS for the first time at KV this weekend. Any advice on how to ride it? Just keep up the momentum? I guess it should be pretty simple, right? :confused:

    Reba Race Lockout

    I've primarily done all of my mountain bike riding on a rigid bike and finally splurged on a luxury item. I bought a Reba Race shock and it has a lever that you put on your handlebars to lockout the fork. Since I'm so used to riding without a shock, I generally keep it locked out and unlock it...

    Building my first SS

    I really want to start riding an SS. Not just because all the cool kids are doing it :p. Looks like it may be a good option for snow riding, building strength fast and because of its simplicity. We have everything in our "parts inventory" to build up my husband's (Chris) old Fat Chance...

    Stitches Removal

    For those of you that have had stitches, would you ever take them out yourself? I have about a half dozen stitches and I really don't feel like going back to the doctor to get them removed. Is this no big deal? Thanks. :hmmm:

    Multi-vitamin recommendations

    I don't take multi-vitamins because they hurt my stomach. I've tried several of the types that you find in the grocery store or GNC. I did have some success with Atkins vitamins that you had to take a couple of times a day. Does anyone have a similar problem and are you able to recommend a...

    Bow Hunting Sundays in NJ

    A hunter told me that there is now bow hunting and small game hunting allowed in NJ on Sundays (I didn't have time to fact check this). Probably unlikely that a bow hunter could shoot a moving cyclist. They can also use crossbows. A friend of mine heard the arrow going by in WayWay once. May...
