    Five Ten Quality Going Down?

    Hey all I owned my first Impact V2's for around 3 years before they finally started to really fall apart. The out sole separated from the mid sole after a night sitting very close to a fire. I bought a set to replace them and the out and mid-sole have separated from the upper of the shoe...

    2x Chain Guide with Taco

    Evening Burners, I've got a decent enough chain guide that came with my bike, but I'm looking for one that has a bit more protection. I'm a fan of the Taco style guides, but need one for two chainrings. So far i know of the E13 guide, the MRP and the Blackspire one. Are there any others? Are...

    Fox 36 Talas topout

    Hey burners, I've had my 2012 180mm Talas 36's for just under a year now, and I don't remember them heavily topping out when I first got them. My first thought was air in the compression cartridge, but I pulled that side of the fork out, cycled it a bunch of times and there was not a "dead"...

    Geometry at sag

    Hoping to create a bit of a discussion here, wondering what everyones opinion is on static vs. dynamic geometry. One example is the old (06-09) Glorys compared to the new ones. The new ones have the same static head angle, but lack 10% of the rear travel, which means at sag their head angles...

    Val Di Sole World Cup

    Surprised that a thread hadn't been made yet. Think Gwin will crush it again or will one of the young guns snatch it? Stevie Smith looked good for it but he's injured and not racing today. How's everyone's feed going? Mine is constantly stopping and loading.

    Bottom bracket is flogged, need help chosing new one

    Hi all, my bottom bracket has tonnes of play in it, which I've narrowed down to one of the bearings being completely shagged. I'm not sure wether replacing the bearing is the go or whether to get a new BB. The bike in question is a 2008 STP Pro, with 73mm saint cranks and "Shimano Saint...
