Short, med, long cage? 9 spd?

I've got a new Easton Haven bar and stem that I unfortunately don't need. The stem is an 85mm, 0deg rise, black. Bar is 711mm with 20mm rise, polished mag. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff but I sold the bike they were going to go on and I just don't have a use for them. Pics below. Bar - $80 and...

oops, this was all based on 26" experience.

I ride mostly in the Lehigh Valley here on the PA side but very similar terrain. I've had very good luck with Maxxis High Rollers and most recently set my bike up with Specialized Chunders (2.3 front and 2.2 rear). Both seem to roll relatively well for a big tire, good sidewall strength, and...

I'm taking a random shot with this but here goes: silver swingarm from a 2003Suzuki GSXR 750. Should fit 600, 750, or 1000 from 2001-2003. It is in great shape. I haven't had the bike for several years and I have posted this thing all over the place with no luck. Anyone ride track or know...

Moosic Mountain As matty said, you'll have to go a bit further north and west but Moosic is a great place to ride. It is well marked and very easy to navigate if you've never been before. Check out hubbardbikeclub.com for a map. There is also a kiosk at the trailhead which is right off of...

Had another of these last night and it is sooooooooo tasty!

Then you definitely don't want to try this: half a pint of cherry wheat + half pint of Youngs double chocolate stout. ;)

The AM = all mountain. Race Face also has an Atlas FR (freeride) series that are a bit burlier

Does anyone have an opinion on any of the dual ring guides out there? I'm looking at the E13 DRS, MRP LRP, and Blackspire Dewlie right now and wanted to see if anyone has any experience with any of those in particular. I've read a few online reviews and right now I'm leaning toward the MRP...

If you're in the Scranton area check out Merli Sarnoski Park or Moosic Mountain. Both are a lot of fun and have a bit of everything. Cool slick rock sections, big fast wooded descents, and tough technical riding too. hubbardbikeclub.com has maps for both and you can't go wrong with either place.

How much time do you have for the trip? I hit both places this year and the Kingdom trails are absolutely amazing. There are two distinct areas there as well - Darling Hill is XC with some killer downhills (tap-and-die, sidewinder, tody's tour) and Burke Mt is a lot more technical with some DH...

This is the last weekend for Blue Mountain in Danielsville, PA and they are having a Super D race on Saturday to compliment their final DH race on Sunday. Super D is a mix of cross country and downhill - basically the kind of riding most of us do all the time. Course should be between 8-10...

Durability is very good. I rode mine for two seasons and they still had a little life left in them but I switched to clipless this year :)

Went to Iron Hill Brewery this weekend and they are making a pumpkin ale right now which is very tasty in my humble opinion. Turtle - thanks for the heads up on the Smuttynose. Although I think I'm the only person that doesn't like their IPA so maybe I'll like the pumpkin :hmmm:
