My bike has Nobby Nic’s on it and I ride at about 32 psi. 30 psi causes premature sidewall wear. The tires have tubes. Over the past years I have noticed wear on the sidewalls of the tires (sidewall threads are starting to show) at even 32 psi, and felt it necessary to buy new tires (tubed)...

Has anyone had a chance to ride Lewis Morris since last night's downpour? The town of Cedar Grove, near me, had numerous trees down. That storm just did not "like" Cedar Grove. I’m wondering if the LM trails are even open, if the trails are too muddy, if trees are down, and if it is beyond...

My bike needs a new rear tire. After a season and a half, the back tire is starting to show sidewall abrasions and the threads are "just starting" to show through the sidewall. The front tire is still in very good condition and the tread is fine. Should I rotate the tires from front to...

What brand and model of winter riding gloves do you wear/recommend for weather in the low 30's? I'm basically a strong beginner and I'm just starting out now with winter riding. The gloves I have, though insulated, just don't cut it below the mid-40's, frozen fingers. Also, if you can tell me...

I just bought my first full-suspension bike, and was told by my LBS that the bike did not come with a shock pump. The bike is a Giant Trance X 29er 1. The LBS told me that unlike tires, the shocks should keep their pressure for a long while (almost a year). When you buy a FS bike as of...

I was looking for anyone with experience at Allaire who would be willing to lead a beginner around the park. This is the first time I would be out on my bike this year (so it's to see what kind of shape I'm in) and I've never ridden Allaire yet. Also I have read a few threads that say that the...

How well does Allaire drain off in weather like today? Anyone interested in riding tomorrow (Sunday)? I’m a beginner and this would be my first time out this year. I’m looking for a slow to medium beginner ride. It would be my first time to Allaire and I’ve been told that the white and...

Is anyone interested in making a beginner type ride at Lewis Morris this Saturday? I haven't been on my bike in over a month so if you don't mind a guy who would probably have to walk most of the higher ascents, I would appreciate the company. I was looking at some time on Saturday afternoon...

I'm a beginner looking to find a group or two that have beginner rides on the weekends. I've ridden in a group at Lewis Morris but we had to stop because of the lack of daylight during the week after work. I live up in northern NJ so I'm limited to anything south as far as 6 mile or allaire.

Is there a way I can delete an older thread I started once I get an answer to my question? I don't want to load up the site with my old threads that aren't being answered any more. I'm new to the site so I can use some help deleting my old stuff. Thanks.

I'm just starting out and was wondering if there are any groups in Northern NJ that ride together, either during the week or on the weekend? If so, when and where do you ride? I'm totally new so any help would be appreciated. Directions to your meeting point would be great. Thanks.

I went to some LBS last night to look over their models and most are pushing the new 29ers with shock "lock-out" for climbing steep hills. I mentioned that I was looking for an intermediate-type of bike that can handle beginner trails and also "maybe" some intermediate trails if needed on a...

To me (being a newbie) buying a mountain bike is a real "science" based on the various components and upgrades that are preferred on this site (which I have no understanding of). I'm looking for a good, relatively inexpensive starter mountain bike that might be able to be used on "some"...
