Went riding up at the Trexlertown game preserve today. For those of you that live near enough I would definitely suggest getting up there. It's easily one of the best places around to ride! They have some really awesome downhill sections that run through big banked berms and rollers and all kinds of fun stuff. If anyone is going up and needs directions, where to park, or what parts of the trail to ride, let me know!

I'll just leave this here
That was awesome!! (not that I would expect much less from redbull these days). Trials biking has always blown my mind, the amount of body and bike control is just ridiculous!

I am actually also curious as to how these 27.5 (e.g. 650b) perform..
Chalk up another person wanting to know how the new 27.5's ride. The idea of them is very appealing, kinda get a little bit of the best parts of the 29 and the 26. I saw the release of the 27.5 Santa Cruz heckler on pinkbike.com, boy is that think sickkk!!

^^nice! Starting them out young, that's awesome!
I keep bending the larger cogs on my rear SRAM cassette.. would an XTR cassette be any better?I would be interested in knowing how do you bend the rear cassette cogs too? I would imagine this isn't the easiest thing to do?

Ahh. Good old Lake Nockamixon...where some 50+ Legacies all got pulled over at the same time.
How does something like this happen??
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.and a car meet up/ ride day sounds like a great idea. We'll have to see how much interest we can generate from people in the area. I've been hiking at french creek but have never ridden there although it looked like a good time while i was hiking. I haven't really heard of many of the other trails, I'll have to do some research and look into them.

Hey guys, relatively new to the forum here. Just wondering if there is anyone else on here in the South East Pa area that mountain bikes. If so what do you ride and where at? I've got a 2012 Giant Trance X4. I ride the Nockamixon trails in Bucks County alot as well as the Trexler Nature Preserve trails. The Trexler trails are some of the best around, very unique and fun terrain. They have a lot of flowy downhill sections with great berms and even some jumps. Heres a picture of my bike:

We can even expand this topic out to anyone who mountain bikes and feels like chiming in!

My guess is your front brakes need to bled (assuming they are hydraulic) either that or maybe some new pads. Both are super easy to do.
As far as the pedals are concerned I personally go with platform pedals. I have a set of clip in's but I find for the stuff I like to get into (rocky, fast, downhill) I feel more comfortable having my feet unclipped. If your riding easy single track clip in's might be the better bet just to get that extra dig. If you buy a set of good platforms they will provide pretty damn good grip though. I'm currently looking at getting some new pedals, possibly the crank brothers 50/50 pedal. I liked them when I rode them on my friends bike but they seem to get mixed reviews online.
