    Specialized Crave Pro

    I'm normally more into the DH/AM/Dirtjump side of things, but in the last year or so I have been doing quite a bit of XC (a few XCO races, 4hr, 6hr, 12hr etc) aboard a borrowed Niner Jet 9 and Specialized Epic. I am doing the Cape to Cape (a 4 day 220km stage race) at the end of October, so I...

    Lights for Endurance Racing.

    Had a bit of a search around for info on lights, and am now confused. Unforunately, most of the threads I found regarding rechargable lights were from 06/07, so none of the links worked and I am assuming with the pace of technology, all the info is now outdated anyway! I know nothing about...

    Boxxer Technical Manuals - Where Are They?

    Just went to look on the Rockshox site for the MY10 service manual, and they aren't there? Perhaps my eyes are not working on me, but it seems all they have now are tuning guides and bushing installation for 06-09. Does anyone have a link to the service manual for the MY10 forks? Or if not...

    Aftermarket Shocks - CCDB, Bos?

    I've been considering a few shock options and would like to hear some feedback from people that have actually ridden the shocks that I am looking at. The two shocks I had in mind are the Cane Creek Double Barrel and the Bos Stoy. Rockshox and Fox don't really interest me, and Elka just...

    Clueless Trials Thread.

    So, out of the blue I bought a mod trials bike today. I haven't had much to do with trials in a long time, so I thought a thread for those not in the know would be a good idea to benifit myself and others. The bike I bought is a Koxx Tricks. Has Magura rimbrakes on it, which are nice and...
