So took a fairly long hiatus and have found myself with a minor “behind the times” sort of issue. Recently installed a new set of G2 brakes, and despite my plans I had to shorten a hose. Figured no big deal, just bleed the brakes. Only hiccup now is that after watching a refresher video I...

Generic radius brake calipers. Picked up for a simple errand running bike, but don't need these. $5 for the pair? Park Tool 1" x 24 threaded steerer saw guide. Ended up with 2 somehow, so this one is unopened. $20 Truvativ 3x crankset minus chainring bolts and pedal washers. Used...

Trainer picked up back in 2014, used maybe 3 times. I’ve updated the pictures to provide a more detailed view. Some surface rust on the leg hardware was noticed after I moved it to the new place (probably from the time I was using it out on the back porch). All else still appears to function...

I only come here about twice a year or so even though it is close, but went ahead and set up the park trail map last night. Had some friends that don't get out often on the trail for probably the first time this year, so took the opportunity to test the accuracy. As far as I can tell it is...

Anyone know of any organized events at allaire this weekend? Stopped in on the way home from the mtbnj ride, and very quickly started noticing powdered chalk or flour markings on the trail. Only been thru airplane so far, but have seen a few arrows, dots along the trail, dots on every log along...

Had this thing sitting around for a couple years now, so time to part with it finally. Bought in spring of 2012, but ridden sparingly since I had been putting more ride time on the other bike. By November I picked up a new bike. This one has been sitting back in the original box since. 26"...

In the process of some winter maintenance, and happened to notice what appeared to be a scratch. After cleaning the spot with some alcohol it now appears to be a hairline beneath the surface. Would love to think I am being paranoid, but almost positive I haven't noticed it before. Frame is a...

So finally getting around to putting this up here. This is the follow up to some questions i had about training however many months back. Our boy (Darby) is of age now so about a month ago or so i finally stepped him up to going out with the bike. Only a few rides so far, but he took to it...

Finally got this video online despite my computer's best attempt at pushing the process on as long as possible. By the time i finished this thing i was just plain tired, so i'm sure one of the segments is mislabeled or something. Definitely a crash or 2 somewhere in there, but i hadn't...

With everywhere being wet today I am looking for some alternatives. Prefer to stay off the road, so I'm thinking gravel paths and whatnot. My total experience with the canal path is driving by in the dark and riding 6 mile. I've read that some is natural surface and some is gravel. Being...

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet. Just came across it last night and hadn't seen it posted yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0jmSsQ5ptw

Hopefully I won't find many more issues after this. Anyway, happened to notice a ding on the inside of the left leg this morning on the Raleigh's fork. Overall the dent is probably a little smaller than a dime. It is on the lower half just about even with the top mount on the disc caliper. I...

Currently running a 20T that feels ok, but may want to drop down a bit. Looking for an 18T cog that will fit on a Shimano HG style mini free hub if anyone is looking to get rid of one.

Have had a hard time parting with this despite never really using it. Stuck to the notion i was going to learn, but i am pretty much resigned to its not happening now. Have the bike and kayak though, so i've already got a way to fill my free time. Anyway, 7'9 Bic surfboard i bought used a...

Have a few things sitting around unused that i'm ready to part with. At work right now so i'll double check the items and get pictures when i get home. Normally off midweek, so it might be hard to meet up to change hands. If possible though i am willing to meet up as far north as Allaire...

Seeing the raleighs pass through the marketplace recently has got me thinking about picking up/setting up a single speed. Kicking myself a bit for not hopping on the opportunity earlier, but oh well. Anyway, i happened across this GT Peace 9r on CL the other day that i am thinking about...

Not much out of the usual to report for here today. A day removed from the rain, so things were pretty well drained. Wind did take down a smaller branches, and a dead tree just to the left of the fork by the trail head. Had my saw in the truck so ran back up after the ride, and cut it off...

2 part question 1. I have read what Sheldon Brown had to say about open vs closed, and it makes sense to me. That being said, i had a stock open cam on my front wheel for 4 years with no issues, and am considering swapping back to a hope skewer for a bit of color coordination. Question is...

Been thinking about upgrading my fork (Dart 3) recently, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with/opinions on the Hope Head Doctor? Mostly looking at used Fox and Rockshox forks on ebay right now, so if i find one with a star nut already i'll just use that. I've also seen some...

Out for 8-9 miles with a couple friends this past saturday. Pretty slow paced ride, so i just threw together some of the quicker (and stable:)) footage. Changed the mount every 3rd of the ride. First 3rd with the chest mount, 2nd was mounted just above the bottom cup of the headset, and the...
