    Home brew stout

    So me and a couple of buds decided to brew some beer last Friday. We went with two stout recipes. 1st is an imperial and 2nd is oatmeal. The imp should ring in above 9% when done and the oatmeal will be somewhere between 5.5 and 7. We used more malt then called for on the oatmeal, so I'm...

    Loose Headset

    Hi All, I have a Scott Scale 29er I purchased brand new in December 2011. About 3 rides into owning the bike I noticed a vibration up front. I held the front brake and bounced the front tire and realized the stem/headset was loose. I took it back to my LBS and they concurred but were...

    Bash guard

    I want to replace my big ring with a bash. This is probably going to be the worst n00b question ever but .... I have a Scott Scale Elite 29r with Shimano FC-M552, 2-piece Design, 42Ax32Ax24T crank set. When shopping for bash guards I want one large enough to cover the 32A ring, so 34...

    Ride today?

    So, I was going to try out the infamously wet 6 Mile Run but the board has advised against it. I'm pretty sure a hanging was discussed if I rode there.I have never been to Clayton before either and wanted to see if it's ride-able today?

    Tomorrow at 4:30 PM

    I have never been here and may have an opportunity to get there Tuesday 2/28 for about an hour and a half before dark. I have read about the poor drainage so I wanted to ask, it will have been sunny warm and windy for 3 days, is there any shot it'll be ok to ride? And if it is ok to ride...

    Rear Brake pulsating

    So I am new to hydraulic brakes and have an issue. I have a NEW Scott Scale 29er Elite with Avid Elixir 3 brakes. I have 4 rides on the bike. The other day I noticed a "pulsating" affect if you will while braking (rear brake). Nothing appears bent or loose. The wheel spins freely with no...

    Movie Review - 127 Hours "SPOILER alert"

    I watched this the other night and give 5 out of 5 mountain bikes (stars). This is a dramatization of the Aron Ralston story. He is the hiker/canyoneer. (there's a brief MBing scene) who got his arm trapped between a boulder and the canyon wall and survived for 5 days before finally...

    So went for a ride last night, wheels down at 5:20. Started fine got about 50 minutes in when all hell broke loose. Panicked attempting to get out and took a wrong turn. Lost. Then in the rain everything started to look the same, more lost. Finally stumbled on a trail I knew and was able to...

    Turning 40 soon "wake-up call"

    So I can't figure out what has propelled me into this sudden desire to get in shape but I am happy about it. 40 is -34 days and coming like a "bitch on wheels" (no offense intended to the ladies). Several years ago I ballooned all the way up to 305. I stepped on the scale at the doc's office...

    I ride therefore I am

    Jumping into the fray. So I have recently gotten back into biking and just upgraded from my big (21") old (circa 1997) rigid to a new Trek 4300 hardtail. Last week I rode Ceres twice and I'm starting to get the lay of the land but have a long way to go. And so do my legs. I work in West...
