    Riding in the rain - inspired by socks

    I had to share this short story. Today, my opportunity to get some exercise came at about 1:00PM. It had rained overnight and it was threatening to rain again this afternoon. I went out to take a look at the sky and got a couple little "spritzes" of rain on my face. I shrugged and said to...

    Help finding this hub...or preferrably its "guts"

    Hoping someone more tech savvy or Google savvy than me, might be able to help me with this. I have a 2011 Trek Gary Fisher paragon 29er. The front hub has the ever so slightest play in it. It is barely perceptible at the hub. It is amplified when grabbing the top of the wheel and moving side to...

    Another use for Stans

    I have this miniature football that my nephew loves to throw around with me. Every time he comes over, its: "Can we have a catch?" The darn thing started to lose air at the seams lately from being left out in the sun, floating in the pool, etc. It dawned on me that maybe some Stan's would seal...

    Wildcat route recommendation

    I feel like I've found a good loop at Wildcat, but as a result I'm always doing the same thing when I go there. Here's the route: Park by Bat Cave, Beach Glen Trail (blue) south, then up the switchbacks and all the way out to Meriden Rd. Take the road over to Righter Mine trail (green). Follow...

    Freehub compatibility question

    My 2011 Trek Paragon has an FH-M525-SL rear hub. It's got a 10-speed cassette. I'm looking to replace the free-hub as opposed to the whole hub to avoid re-lacing wheel. Strangely, when I look up that hub it only shows as 8/9-speed. I'm pretty sure I've replaced it before with this...

    Quick question about Fat Bike Tubes

    I am running tubes on my fat-bike. I may convert at some point, but I have read that my wheels aren't real conducive. Anyway, I have been carrying around a 300+ gram fat-bike tube when I ride this bike. Its heavy and bulky and forces me to wear the Camelbak - which I have been trying to get away...

    Fall in the Jungle?

    Went for a morning ride today, starting around 8:00A. Temps were high 60s to low 70s. There was a breeze. Things had drained well from the rain yesterday. It felt like Fall and it looked like it too (see pics). It had been since late June that I had been there. You can forget just how great...

    Raystown tips

    I am traveling on business next week to Pittsburgh and have the chance to stop on the way out. Last time I did this I hit Roth Rock, so this time I'm leaning toward Raystown. Anything special I need to know for a daytime visit in the middle of the week? Looks like the main parking is on Seven...

    SSAP GPS file??

    Does anybody have a GPS file of the SSAP course. I read of "new trails" and wanted to see if I knew of them already. I've ridden there so many times, I think I know them all. But, maybe I'll be surprised. I know sometimes races inspire new trails to be blazed. Thanks in advance!

    Inspired by "The Dirt"

    First, a little background... I finally got a fat bike to get more winter rides. I went the BD route (Boris the Evil Brut, Sprung) so I could afford the components I wanted. Yeah-yeah, whatever...I'm happy. Waited far to long for it to arrive. It finally delivers in early Feb. That very night -...

    Route recommendation?

    I have only hiked at High Point SP. I have never ridden there, but would like to give it a shot sometime soon. I don't really know when I'm planning to take this ride, so I just wanted to gather this intel first. I have a NYNJ trail conference map. It indicates which trails permit biking...

    2013 Mukluk on Craigslist

    Not my bike, and not my size, but thought someone might be interested. I imagine the price could be negotiated down. I also would say that you should never take a picture of your item for sale in front of a storage facility. Kind of indicates that it is just taking up space...

    Devil's Staircase

    I've only ridden MDR about 5 times (including today) and every time I have not gone down Devil's Staircase. I know where it is, but I just love that south section of the yellow trail and hate to skip it. I'm just curious if I am missing a better trail by not taking this? I know it would be a...
