    XC or Trail?

    Hi guys. I'm in the market for a new bike. Tried a few Giant Anthem variations at demo days and fell in love with the bike. Went to one of the nearby Giant retailers and he showed me a Stance. Then I got confused. Went online to find that Stance and Trance are trail bikes. Went further to...

    Is this the right section to talk injuries?

    Hope I'm posting in the right area. I couldn't find any other appropriate one. I sustained a grade 5 AC joint separation as a result of a crash and just wanted to know other people's experiences who may have had the same injury. I underwent reconstructive surgery 3 weeks ago. I have a long...

    Riding to music?

    This is not necessarily a complaint but just a puzzling behavior I'd love to understand. Why do some people ride while listening to loud music that others can hear? Every once in a while I'm in the woods doing my thing and I hear music, then a few seconds later I come upon another rider who's...

    Can't adjust rear deraiileur

    Hi guys. I've looked at many websites and Youtube videos and none of them mention my problem. I've adjusted the limit screws and then the cable tension. I got it so that the cable tension is perfect and it shifts smoothly from high to low, then it doesn't want to shift low to high, so I back...

    Wobbly steering?

    Hi guys. This season I seem to have developed this bad habit of sometimes not maintaining steering on the trail, especially at slower speeds. I sometimes can't seem to keep my front wheel straight and needless to say this is a problem with things like skinnies and picking lines through rock...

    JH Memorabilia

    LOL - I found this in a box of old stuff while cleaning out a closet today. My parents took us there when we were kids back during Jungle's first life. It's still in great shape.

    CO2 cartidge size question

    Hey guys. I need 16 gram unthreaded CO2 cartidges. They're kind of pricey on the bike sites and Amazon but less expensive on the homebrewing and other beer sites. Are the cartridges used for beer & soda dispensing the same as those for a tire pump? They say 16 gram unthreaded also. Thanks.

    Where did we get lost?

    We rode at Allaire 2 weekends ago and at one point found ourselves in what I think was Hog Bog, according to the Maprika map. There was a skinny over a swamp and another over the ground. At one point 3 out of the 5 of us made a right turn or something so we all followed and found ourselves on a...

    JORBA in the Jungle - What time?

    Does anyone know what the hours are for the JORBA in the Jungle Jam on 9/21? They're not on that flier that they've been distributing. Thanks.

    Tire Question

    Hi all. I'm riding a 26" Trek 4300. I just replaced the stock tires with a pair of Velociraptors, front and back specific. The tire says 40-60 PSI so I initially inflated them to 55. When I observed the rear wheel spinning in rock gardens and sides slipping on leans I backed them down to 45...

    Is Hilltop Reservation legal?

    Hi all. A buddy and I went to Hilltop Res. in Verona/Cedar Grove? last week since we've read about people riding it, so we wanted to check it out. We were greeted by a sign that said no bikes and that fines were $500. We also saw tire tracks on single track in the park, so people are riding...
