Did some downhill today

Trek and fisher are made by the same company. Basically trek owns fisher. I own a fisher and I love the way it rides. I was lookin at cannondale when I was in the market for a bike and I like the geometry of the Fisher better. Cannondale was going through problems at the time because of the demise of their ATV/ Motorcycle division. Cannondales are generally lighter bikes. I'm not sure if you are Pro american made or not but Cannondale is made in bedford, PA. Higher level trek and fishers are also made in the States.

As far as seats go I love the specialized body geometry seats and regardless of what seat I buy it has to have a love channel.

poison ivy sucks I have some right now that pretty much covers my legs from the top of the knee down. There have been several times I've had it over 99.9% of my body. I would take a hard fall on my bike over poison ivy but what really sucks is when your hard fall on a bike lands you in poison ivy.

yeah next time you guys plan on heading out there I'll tag along. I'm not scared

[jeepxj3]

Theres a ton of trails up there, so next time we head up, ill def. be hitting those. That is until I get a FS DH bike

Hey Joe! I see you lurking in the thread!

[NorthFaceZJ]

Sorry I would, but no bike and have not rode in 7-8 years. I was riding when you were still shitting your pants. So go big, or go to the Dr!

soo...your like 40?? go pound sand.

I would burn you in your prime. ever hear of NORBA? I took first place in the charity race back in the day.

again, stop the freaking drama or hop on a bike and ride. if i wanted drama i would get back with one of my x-gfs.

right now im not a fan of dirty harrys... everyone i talked to said they are an awesome shop bla bla bla so i figured i would check them out and ended up buying my bike there. Its about an hour drive for me just to get there but i didnt mind cause i thought i would get a bike put together by people who love what they are donig and not some punk who just wants a pay check at dicks.

Well after riding yesterday i noticed about 6 of my front spokes were so loose i could turn the nipple with my hand... after only having the bike for 2 weeks i was not happy at all. Yea i have one free tune up but ill be damned if im gonna use it on that after the short time i had it. So i ended up getting a spoke wrench and tightening them myself only to find just about every one on the front was loose... but its all good now... rant over

I bet if you would have taken it back to them, they would have fixed it for nothing. I bought my Gary Fisher there and was really happy with all the help they gave. I dont see why they wouldn't help you in a second on it.

...and did you just randomly tighten all the loose spokes??

x2, I had the same problem with my brakes and headset being loose, they fixed it no charge. Barry, Scott, and Evan are really great guys, and always willing to talk and help you out.

oh, and randomly tightening spokes can throw your wheel out of true.

I thought this was fitting. A giant vagina on a bike.

[Jpdst29]

i would probably just tighten the spokes myself too instead of driving an hour out there to have someone do it.

i was looking into dirty harrys too...it will be about an hour drive for me too...more if traffic sucks. but i agree i would rather have a pro put together my bike that i am gonna beat the shit out of than some retard somewhere else.

You're sounding like a drama queen. Take the joke, note the "to the dr." part in reference to JeepXJ3's comments. It was funny. Quit being a whiny little biotch.

Pot, meet kettle!

Got my new seat on and have been out on the trails twice since my accident. Last night Cyrus and I found a bunch of new trails that we had never run before at Hartwood Acres. Alot of technical stuff, switchbacks, rocks, logs, ect. makes it hard to stay on the bike going uphill on some of that stuff. Either way uphill or downhill its a blast to run.


Sh!tty cell phone pic.

(this was last night right after the downpour.)





I wish I would have gotten more pics along the trail but we didnt stop much, so the one spot we did stop I grabbed some pix. And yes, you could call it a mud run. Made things all the more fun!

[2002wranglerX]

I'll come meet you guys sometime. i can't ride untill at least friday. I had lasik on friday and i can't even touch my eyes for a week!

maybe saturday or sunday...
