Mountain Biking Thread

W.I.P. · Jan 18, 2009

I wish I could afford a nice Bike. For now I will have to stick to my other money pits. For now, I guess I will just have to live vicariously through this thread and the videos on youtube. If you guys get a chance, check out my dirt sports site and post up in the Biking and Pedal Power section. http://www.dirt-unlimited.com/viewforum.php?f=40

She must be really hot for you to pass up on your "man-time". :redneck:

No worries, I know how the priority thing goes. Wife>Kids>Biking/Skiing>paying bills>going to work> in that order.

I don't know, I'll have to check with my, ahh, mechanic! :;

bushings are fine......the bike doesn't really know she's on it

We bought it from a chick who barely rode it and the wife has ridden it a bit but she's pretty small and is not (yet) throwin it hard into/through corners so it's not seeing any lateral loading of the pivot.I figure that pivot has another ten,maybe fifteen years before it needs replacing:flipoff:

She does rip pretty good just that she's small:awesomework:

That bike is 7 and 7 and weighs in at 35#'s +/- ..........crazy for a DH rig....it's really small in person....I'm not really allowed to ride it around.

I TRY to get him to ride it around, but he squaks about bein' gearthy and breakin' ****....so I don't push it!! (that's ok, more ride time for me!) :cheer:

It's true, I don't beat on the bike, and there hasn't been the riding opportunites there used to be. Man, I wish I had pictures of my "starter" DH bike....picture the Bomber fork on a beat to **** old Cannondale Super-V :cheer: Whoop-pah did I beat the **** outta THAT bike! :awesomework:

Well, maybe "beat to ****" is a relative term... apparently I won't ever do the damage of a 200# boy

But I DID learn to do drops on that thing-

Riding at the nade on Monday, well, I was not on my game at all. I guess I have been strictly in ski mode, despite the rain and ice. I was all over the place making mistakes like a kid on his first bike. I rode everything, but just sucked on the hips.

Boonie, you really missed your chance to totally inundate me with skillz. I plan on putting the hurt back on next time I ride. :redneck:

Oh yah, I tossed cookies down the relatively mundane rocky thing (the waterfall?). No biggy, but I felt like I had been in an fender-bender accident the next day. Guess that tells me that I am in the office too much!

jeepmauler · Jan 21, 2009

I'm not hatin on yer mad skillz GANGSTA.....just sayin it's good to be small when beating on expensive aluminum things

...ps....I'm eating a large Fillyerbelly deli beef and onion right now:flipoff::011::011::011::011::heartpump:
