Hey everyone, 

im looking for either a single non-drive side 175mm square taper crank arm, or a square taper crank set for a road bike. trying to help out a friend. Its a TRUVATIV crank set if that influences compatibility for the replacement crank arm but I imagined Most square taper crank arms are interchangeable  

please let me know asap!

thanks!

With the COVID 19 stay-at-home-order being lifted effective May 1st, lets celebrate and get back into gear with a fully shuttle serviced enduro race at BBP Bandera Bike Park on Saturday June 27th!

Victory Racing and staff will implement some precautions to keep our shredders as safe as possible. Probably no jumps, gaps, or drops smaller than 6 feet! haha jk.

DISCOUNTED REGISTRATION UNTIL MAY 15TH

Mine is a 22mm x 6mm so probably not the right size. If anyone needs it I can leave it out on my porch.

ill take those DU bushings

contact me if you'd like a tour, I also run/steward/build the trail system and can answer any questions about it. cat mountain is a very special place that can be enjoyed by different types of riders and skill levels, as long as you know your limits, ride within them, and walk around/b-line any feature you are not ready for. there only  a handful of trails with mandatory advanced features, everything else has b-lines for the most part. 

steep and rocky technical gnar with possible high consequence falls is the main deal at cat mountain. there are definitely some good jumps and drops there, but the steep gnar is the star of the show. the climbs are demanding too so it will also test your fitness

with that being said, there are some blue rated trails there also. just go with a guide or someone that knows their way around, stay off the trails above your pay grade, and you'll have a great time

and do NOT santitize anything other than your underwear while you are there! 🙂 

take trades or $30?

Hey everyone, 

long story short im waiting to receive my own bearing tools to service/extract & press in frame and linkage bearings, but need my intense primer back in action before I’m going to receive the stuff to do it myself. 

The whole point of me buying the tools was to stop paying $6-8 per bearing for a shop to do it for me. 

Does anyone already have all their own bearing tools that would be willing to replace about 6 bearings in some suspension linkage for me in trade for beer or something? I have a pretty good amount of sponsor beer left over from my enduro race last weekend and would be very happy if I could find someone willing to take care of this for me. 

Please let let me know asap! 

SATURDAY, MARCH 7TH!

get signed up and lets do this!

There's a clash of philosophical worldviews playing out here that is bigger than bikes. Some of us see things in the context of ideal forms (thanks, Plato). To me, a mountain bike is an expression of a form, just like a cat, or a a game of baseball. You can vary the manifestation of that form to some degree, but when you tweak that object beyond it's horizon, it ceases to represent that form. It's now something else. If a cat starts laying eggs or grows wings, it's no longer a cat. If people on a baseball field start tackling one another and kicking the ball around instead of hitting it with a bat, they're not playing baseball anymore.

In that thread, when you put a motor on a mountain bike, it's "no longer a mountain bike." 

I am not saying that this perspective is superior to anyone else's. I have a pretty strong sense that categories are important, that compartmentalizing my perception of reality is what keeps me sane.  It points to an explanation of why some people think e-mtbs are sacrilege and others shrug and say "so what?"

exactly. THIS ^^^^^ kinda like how a penis defies you as a man, and a vagina defies you as ... you get it.  but we already know enough people this day in age have tried to blur those lines also.

but yes, categories are important.. dont let anyone convince you otherwise. 2020 people logic is very questionable to say the least

Wow those are nice! I've never attempted to stage any cool biking pics, but when you're the last one in the group sometimes your friends are standing by to get a nice shot. Here's one from Buff Creek in CO. What ya'll got?   

 

this has always been one of my favorites - jumping over a group of my friends

so they removed the drop or the tree gate or what?

I've used both. Rouge is not worth the extra price.  Go with the one in the link below.

This! ☝️

I avoid wooden handles. they always break. pick axes and mcleods with poly handles last exponentially longer. also make sure you get a pick axe with the long skinny nose pick and not that stupid Little Rock axe thing

hey everyone, 

just seeing if anyone has a basic non-boost 12 x 142 29er rear wheel that are willing to let go of, please let me know asap! I kinda need it before this weekend. 

happy to compensate! trade, beer, some cash, whatever

let me know asap please! 

we will be riding Bandera Bike Park Friday or Sunday if anyone would like to join. There are 2 new trails & lots of new jumps!

let me know if anyone would like to join!

ive been really liking the EXO casing assegai on the front of my primer

sram codes work great, but Shimano saints are just the best the end. super strong, bullet proof, low Maintenence.
