Some interesting changes... add Whistler, but no MSA? World Championships at Val di Sole Aug 26-30. When I first saw Soldier Hollow on the schedule, I looked it up and it looks like it will work out well for XC. The area doesn't appear to be set up for a true DH track, so understandable why...

I work from home, so I don't drive that much these days - quite a change from the 30K+/year I used to put on my cars when I worked in Somerset. Other than weekend trips - usually to ride - my driving during the week consists of one or two grocery store runs and 1-3 drives to Nesh to ride -...

Hello all... As some of you saw in The Not BIYF Feb thread, I lost the front wheel on ice this past Sat and landed on my left shoulder hard enough to break my collarbone. After 40+ years of doing stupid stuff on bikes, this is a first for me. It's completely broken and crossing over itself...

Let's start things off with a Redbull Hardline Tasmania - GoPro course preview. Live broadcast on the Redbull YouTube channel on Friday, February 7 at 10 PM EST.

While we have quite a while until the race season starts, we do have some early season events to look forward to - Hardline down-under, for one. More timely, Sam Reynolds and the Darkfest crew are a bit early this year. Perhaps to beat Fall (in S. Africa) rains? He's started to drop videos...

https://www.bikereg.com/bike-doctor-sheduro#Register It's pretty much sold out for the men's categories (I managed to snag the last 45+ Men Sport entry), but all of the women's categories are still open as of this posting, as well as the Waitlists and the JR classes. Should be fun. I know...

...is happing as I post this. One of my Philly friends is up there and has been posting pictures and videos to his Facebook page. Looks like a fun event. 5 Days, tent camping, 4-6 enduro stages per day. All raced blind. Not a cheap event at $1950 (will probably go up next year), but does...

I'll try not to make this too wordy, but if you've read my posts over the years, I'll know I'm not very good at that... Basic stats: 50 year old male (51 in July), 5' 10", reasonable weight (~175 lbs.), average to thin build. Past tests: normal/average blood pressure; slightly high...

My company's NJ office has an administration assistant position opening. The office is located near I-287 Exit 10 but would probably be a combination of in-office and WFH at this point. Good MS Word skills required, along with other MS products and a few other programs. If anyone knows of...

Vassago VerHauen steel hardtail. Size medium - 18" ST & 24.2" TT. 142x12 thru axle, sliding drop-outs for adjustable chain stay length (17.5" to 18") or can be run as a SS. I'm located in Lower Bucks Co, PA but willing to drive to meet in NJ. It fits me at 5' 10" well, although I do tend to...

On lap 4 as I post this. Anyone else watching these? I have to admit, watching the European pros race makes me want to try cross racing in 2020.

https://phillybikeexpo.com/ Anyone planning to go? I think I'm going on Sat.

Yoann Barelli is a nut. But an entertaining nut.

I have four of these. Unfortunately, they don't really work for my space. Two are still new in the box. Two have been assembeld and mounted. $25 each for the boxed ones. $20 each for the used ones. Negotiable (I'm tired of tripping over these...) I'm headed back to NH for a couple of weeks...

Is it too early to talk about 2019 yet? Hell no! Why? Because the US is getting a World Cup event next year! :eek: :banana::thumbsup: Snowshoe, WV - September 7-8!! https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-2019-uci-world-cup-downhill-calendar.html I have already reserved a condo for most of the...

...starts next weekend - April 22. Women start at 6:45 AM EDT (ugh...). So who's excited? I'm excited. :D I saw a preview video of the venue in Croatia by a local team. Apparently a rocky tire and wheel killer, which could shake up the results. Schedule: April 21/23 - Losinj, Croatia June...

Take off wheels from my Primer. Front wheel never used, rear wheel used for one ride. Shimano hub body and spline rotor mounts. 180mm front disc and 160mm rear disc included. Rear hub is 148mm Boost spacing. Front is "supposed" to be Boost 110 as well, but measures as 105mm. Not sure why, but...

Take off fork from my Primer. Removed during the build and not used. 140mm travel. 29" wheel. 110mm boost axle. Crown race removed with a Park CRP-2, so no scratches or marks on the crown from screw drivers. Not "like new" - it basically is new. Asking $300. I'm tired of looking at this...

After some last minute negotiating, this will be on RedBullTV after all. Originally, the BBC bought the rights, but then it became known if you were outside of the regular BBC broadcast area, you were screwed. However, because of the last-minute decision, it's not known who will be presenting...

Wow... what a race. The 29er DH bike cometh.
