Bike specs: http://www.konaworld.com/09/09_one20_en.cfm 18 inch frame. I'm not super bike savvy yet, but in the 2 years I've owned my Kona one20, I've never used the large (44t) and small (22t) center chain rings. I've only ever used the middle (32t) ring. According to...

I finally get another free day off and would like to ride tomorrow morning, providing the weather holds off. Alas, we had a bit of a storm up here and was wondering how it typically drains overnight after a storm. I figured with the heat we've had, the ground would soak it all up pretty...

Long story short: Weighed 145 in middle school. Weighed 200 as a senior in high school. Dropped to 180 by 2009, was steady, picked up mountain biking. Hovered 170-175, still had a large gut. I'm now 1.5 months into my diet plan, and weigh about 165. The past 2 weeks I've had absolutely...

I'm going to be ditching my Kona one20 squish bike for a few months when the weather warms up, for my Kona Unit. It's a rigid, single speed, 29er. Is there any way to really prepare my wrists for the shock abuse they are going to be taking up at Jungle? My legs and back hold up fine, but my...

Just got my new bike from the shop, took off the front wheel, loaded it up, brought it inside and set to work fine tuning the brakes. After uninstalling and installing the front brakes at least twice, I'm still getting rub on 1/10th of the disc. I took it out for a ride, maybe to see if I...

This is NOT my bike. This is for next year, as I'm strapped for cash at the moment. $240 for both Large Marge rims ~$70 for the front fork. ~$250 for the tires ~$22 tubes ~$$$ Hubs/Spokes ~$$$ Labor Would this even work with a 2011 Kona Unit frame? He has an older Unit frame, but the...

Christmas is coming up and I'm looking for a new toy. I figure a 2nd "back up" bike would make a nice addition. Both of them have pretty outstanding reviews. Although, once again Kona is having a head tube issue when it comes to medium/aggressive , and the P2 29er fork the Kona comes with is...

I remember when I went up around rhino on the sides of the trail there were some rock formations (obviously man made and meant to see) right next to the trail. Doing Warthog yesterday I found this gem. Right under a hole in the tree. I almost missed it flying through. Any info on the guy in...

I must've hit something real damn hard to put a dent on there and crack the paint. No cracks in the metal, though, so that was lucky. (Ignore the chain, I was in the middle of cleaning it when I noticed the chunk of paint missing.) I looked all around online and couldn't find what people use to...

I was so skeptical about going clipless that I kept putting it off, and off, and off... because I thought I couldn't do it. .....WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS ONE OF THE SIMPLEST CONCEPTS EVER!? I finally put them on today and put my shoes to where I felt comfortable, took them around...

I dug it out from under some branches somewhere in the middle of Rhino and left it in plain view on the rocks.

They are Hayes MX4 Mechanical Discs if that even matters, but my front disc has a wonderful splotching of rust, whereas the rest of my bike has none. The rust always rubs very lightly on the left pad, but the non-stop "shhhhhhhhhhhh" of it moving is driving me insane. Is there a quick remedy to...

We've got Gatorade... Any who, it was nice seeing so many people up at Jungle Habitat this morning! I got up there around 10:30 AM and there were quite a few cars by the gate, 2.5 hours later at 1:00 PM there were even more. I figured with West Milfords Autumn Lights Festival it would...

I can't exactly remember where it was she is moving to. I'll be having dinner with her tomorrow at 3 PM before she leaves for good. But I do know, it's about 45 minutes from Crested Butte. Never have I loved family so, so much.:D

My Maxxis Ignitor has a nice tear in the side from riding behind my house. There's a ton of glass (hadn't been back there in a while) and it's ruined. Replace with another Ignitor? I primarily ride JH in my free time, so it's pretty hard packed most of the time. Also, the bike shop I went...

Can you guess where I was from these two shots alone? I know it's an easy one, but I was having some fun.:D

...yet. I've had very little trail time due to work, and am just getting used to the bike itself. But my feet seem to keep slipping off when I have to bear down and peddle hard. The normal everyday rocks and logs seem to jar my feet off sometimes, too. I have Wellgo LU-A9 pedals which came...

It's been one hell of a journey to finally get a ride on my mountain bike. Since I was 9, I spent 7 grueling years on a much too small for me Dyno BMX bike, hitting a wooden 1 foot ramp, right on a paved road. 16 years old, invest in my first (Wal-Mart) mountain bike. 4 months in it's...
