I'd just like to cast my 2 cents in on ghetto tubeless. i did the conversion a few weeks ago. I changed tires but kept my stock rims and didn't have any trouble. even took em to lumpy at mooch and put 10 miles on the first day without a single lbs lost. I'd check on the tires but for the 8 bucks...

I figured most places would be "illegal" riding. I was hoping I'd get lucky and find one trial that opened it up. If what the fellas from jorba were saying holds true the newish connected trails at the dickerson mine in mine hill may allow night rides. Whether or not they need to be...

i started riding clipless last year. you may feel like a D-bag on your first couple rides as you topple over for no apparent reason, but I've found the short adjustment period well worth it in terms of efficiency and over all control. A platform clip pedal may be a confidence booster like...

I've been looking to get into night riding. My brother works overnights so its the only time i have to ride with him. I was wondering where to ride(i live in sussex county) and where i could pick up a good light kit.

This event was fantastic. it's the only 3 days i got to have off all summer and they were well spent. I hope this keeps going and picks up more steam for next year. Thanks to everyone who organized this and i cant wait for the next go round. How about a winter trip with snow riding?:rolleyes:

I was digging out my parents shed looking for some miscellaneous camping gear for mooch at months end and i stumbled upon my grandmothers bicycle. i know its pre-WW2 circa 1920's ish or possibly earlier. My father said he thinks its a Schwinn but who knows. Unfortunately anyone in my family that...

i managed to tighten down the bolts. Had to back it off a half turn after i did cause it was affecting the spin. it did resolve most of the wobble. its still off canter by a little but i thinks that a small bend in the bolt. thanks for the input it was helpful:)

After a ride at mooch today i noticed that there was some play in my rear wheel. It seems that i may have bent the area right between the rim and the cassette. It seems more loose then bent in one specific spot. I've never taken one apart but i was wondering if i could tighten it down in any way...

i took em to marty's. they said i was S.O.L. in terms of fixing them . Said i should throw some lube in em and cross my fingers. so i tightened everything i could tighten bathed it in my chain lube and half way throw my ride realized the noise had stopped ...at least for the time being.

thanks for the feed back.. im gonna mess with them a lil n see what shimano says about their warranty

I have a set of shimano pd-m545's. Granted they're heavy but as my first set of clipless pedals i wanted the platforms for reassurance. I've been riding them for about a year and my right pedal is make a clicking sound when i start the down stroke. Its not my clip coming in and out. I was...

-I live in Hopatcong. We happen to have what i would estimate( poorly) to be 5-10 square miles of trails between us and the Byram/Lenape area know as devil's foot print. I ride it somewhat regular even though its much better suited for the dirtbikes/ quads that frequent it. It has alot of washed...

think i may have dropped my gloves at the rump race last Sunday.. cant seem to find em. if anyone picked a pair up pm n ill describe what i lost. i was parked next to a big white van in the second row. if i did lose it would have been right by my car.

Lost my first tire about 1 mile in .. then i caught a pinch at 3miles in on that gravely section by the lake.. by this time the whole dam field was gone. i wasn't willing to dnf so without another spare i took my flat and tied a knot where the pinch was... it managed to hold enough air to ride...

the only thing i could imagine is a shit ton of cross overs. there are a crap ton of short sections they could somehow lace together. and i should be able to make friday.. like u said need some one with some coarse knowledge

im looking for anyone who be up for a social beginner-esk pre-ride at kvsp.. which my dumb ass didnt realize is aeroflex :duh:. I'd like to try for Saturday morning round 10am. Anyone with some previous coarse knowledge would be a big plus if not we could just tool around and get used to the...

sorry to hear about koc n the other downed rider. but im F'n pumped to have finished my first race.. after all those yrs of smoking newports a finish is a win for me... i think i may have even been next to last for 19-29. those first 2.5 miles murdered me. and watchin the juniors that started...

I x-ray people like this all the time in the ER doing clinical.... they're all tough guys till their gettin their domes stitched closed. its kinda like motorcyclists that wear t-shirts, skin vs. pavement guess who wins.:hmmm:

i have a suntour stock front fork that came on my giant... it doesnt perform as well as i'd like and ive actually bottomed it out. made a horrid noise. just lookin for some suggestions on an upgrade. keep in mind im in college, work 35 hours a week for free because of clinical practice leaving...

After a ten year hiatus after a high school sporting injury, in which time i picked up the wonderfully horrible habit of smoking, Ive finally got my shit together and have been making some positive changes. i quit smoking bought a bike and threw myself head long back into trail riding. i'm 3...
