  1. Inching a bit closer to pulling the trigger on a '13 SB66. Anyone have any time on its competitors?

     

     

    That bike is sick..... And on my short list. I'm still waiting on my damn free hub to show up. We have had a lot of rain this year so between that and repairs I haven't gotten out much. My wife is ready to kill me:lol:

  2. I agree with what was said above, read the terrain and shift in anticipation of the trail changes ahead. Has anyone here used an eno hub or excentricker bb to convert a bb30 bike to single speed? I am not really interested in having a new wheel built just to change my gearing setup.
  3. biking is my addiction. 6 bikes in the house. 2 belong to my 12 year old and the rest mine. last several years I've been racing cross. and this last year I've spent more time on gravel grinders vs single track.

     

    Sounds like you have quite the stable! I am down to a two bike house now, well three if you count my old GT vertigo.

  4. ^^^Been to Crested Butte a few times to ride, haven't been to Gunnison, at least not to ride. I really dig Salida + the Monarch Crest as well. You make it out this way often?

     

     

    I lived out there for a couple of years. Went back last summer for the first time since 2001-2 and got to ride some of the old haunts and a ton of new trails. I think I have some good footage from Dr's Park at home, will post up later.

  5. ^^^Yeah, had a buddy blow up his rear-end last week about 6 miles from the car. Chain, hanger, derail, ten or so spokes. Got a ss rigged up, but the chain kept bucking as the rear suspension sucked up the downhill. He basically had to Fred Flinstone a few miles of gnar. No fun...for him, of course! Lesson learned.

     

     

     

    That sucks man! Do you ever get out to Crested Butte or Gunnison?

  6. Yeah I actually ordered two so I can carry a backup. Fortunately I had a couple of links in my pack. I ended up taping the derailleur to my frame and set it up as a single speed. We were able to finish the ride, about an hour with no other problems. This has me seriously considering going ss.
  7. I ride at least once a week. We usually do bigger rides on Sunday morning. Been riding these places a lot, The Wissy, French creek, white clay, Fair Hill, and it looks like Brandywine is going to become a heavy hitter because I drive past it on my way to work. During the week, smaller rides we do Marsh creek, Valley Forge, St Peters and there is some single track in Phoenixville where I live. I am currently riding a Salsa Mamasita that I built up a couple of seasons ago. Will post up some pics tonight when I get to my computer. I have heard good thing about your area. We should do a car meet/ ride.
  8. I went w/ the larger pistons 120-11135

    ebay purchase w/ the pads

     

    You are bidding on a Set of Brand New Wilwood Forged Superlite Internal (FSLI) Racing Brake Calipers & High-Performance Pads (Part #120-11135 x 2 and #150-8854K).

    Forged Superlite Brake Calipers:

    • Fits 1.10" Thick rotors
    • Each caliper features Four 1.75" Pistons
    • Calipers will work on both the left and right side of the vehicle, so you can use this set on the front, the rear, the left, or the right.
    • Great for use in Street Rods, Street/Strip, Rally, Road Racing, Dirt Late Models, Dirt and Pavement Modifieds, Drag Racing, Sprint Cars, Midgets, Off-road racing, and many other high performance & industrial applications

     

     

     

    I cannot wait to have a solid set of brakes on the OB, my Moms Toyota matrix stops better. Seems to me the only difference between the 120-11135 and 120-11136 is the rotor diameter. What offset are you running, did you need wheel spacers?

  9. Make sure the lower bolt holding the konis in is also still tight. Seen a few of these loosen up over time.

    I did this over the weekend and was able to get a couple of turns on the bolt. I didnt have the clunk but was checking bolts after some miles of driving on them.
