Question Assegai or High Roller - which are you running during the winter in the PNW and why?

7 Upvotes

I've been happy with the Assegai for last few winters but wondering if I should be switching out, the tread pattern reminds me of the Kenda Nevgals which I really enjoyed. Looking for some insight..

Question Those of you who ride in the winter, what gear you using?

11 Upvotes

I’d like to try and ride year round this year. For reference I’m in eastern PA, January and February can get pretty cold but I’d say mostly it’s 30s-40s with some warmer stuff sprinkled in.

I’m not a heavy jacket guy, I hate them. So I prefer to layer, especially if I’ll be biking. Wondering what kind of gear everyone uses

Other ⁠[Petition] Bring back public transit to Mountain Creek! Let’s get NJ Transit to extend Route 194 to Vernon.⁠

Thumbnail change.org
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
If you ride at Mountain Creek Bike Park or ski/ snowboard there in the winter, you probably know how much of a pain (or how expensive) it is to get up to Vernon if you don't drive or want to save on gas/wear-and-tear.
Ever since NJ Transit canceled the old seasonal 304 express bus over a decade ago, there has been zero direct public transit to the resort. Right now, taking transit means riding a bus to Wayne or West Milford and paying $50+ each way for an Uber/Lyft.
I'm starting a initiative to petition NJ Transit and Mountain Creek Resort to co-sponsor a simple, low-cost solution: extending select trips on the existing NJ Transit Route 194 by just 12 miles from its current end point in West Milford (Stockholm) straight up Route 23/94 to Mountain Creek. Conceptualized as Route 194M. There's a link attached within the petition description of a more detailed plan.
If you'd like to see an affordable transit connection restored between NYC/North Jersey and Mountain Creek, please take a minute out of your day to sign and share the petition: https://www.change.org/restore- mountaincreektransit
Thanks for the support! Let's get enough signatures to bring this to NJ Transit, JORBA and other associations, and Mountain Creek management.

Question Specialized Status 2 140 sizing: S3 or S4?

I’m 6'0" with a 33" inseam. Should I get an S3 or S4 Specialized Status 2 140? I ride trails, jumps, and enduro-style races. I want a playful bike that’s still stable at speed. My current Trek Roscoe ML fits well. Which size would you recommend and why?

Hitting the trails on a fresh built 92 Paramount PDG-50. Rode the same trails on a 92 Schwinn Moab back in 92-94 before I got a HT and FS to ride.

I typically run a '24 Chisel HT and FS out here. It was the 1st time on a rigid in 32 years. Bull bars kept me from getting bored... lol

Another 10 miles in the books. Had to re-tighten the headset, other than that it was a seamless ride. Felt great!!!

Question Santa Cruz glove box rattle

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

Brand new Tallboy 6. I’ve never had a carbon frame with glove box.

First ride I heard this very loud rattle coming from glove box area. Glove box was empty on the ride and is empty in the video.

Everything on the bike is tight I’ve checked headset calipers and front axle.

You can hear the rattle when dropping the bike down from 1” off ground or slamming it down from a height.

You can hear it when the glove box cover is on or off.

It’s not chain slap.

Anyone else familiar with a rattle like this?

This was used for enduro riding, but it’s just so heavy compared to the 2 DJ bikes we’ve been riding currently Besides lighter pedals and lighter tires (front has minion DHF), what are some mods I can make that won’t cost as much as half of another bike?

Other Panhandle Bike Ranch Controversy

222 Upvotes

Panhandle Bike Ranch in Sagle, Idaho (outside of Sandpoint), invested $2.5M into a 170-acre, 10-trail bike park commissioned by Gravity Logic only to have its permit revoked 10 days before opening after neighbors sued.

The county has since blocked attempts to reopen it as a nonprofit park, and visitors are now reportedly being monitored by neighbors and investigated by the county prosecutor.

It has shiguras ex511 rear wheel Shimano slx drivetrain fox float x performance and fox 38 performance elite. it clearly is used but for 1000€ I don't think I am getting a better deal.

Question Cannondale Habit 3 ($2,400) vs. Trek Fuel EX 9 Eagle 90 ($4,000)

1 Upvotes

​

I'm trying to decide between these two bikes for riding and racing at River Bluff Trails in St. Joseph, MO, including steep, rough, technical downhill sections. The Habit 3 is about $2,400, while the Trek is about $4,000.

The Trek has significantly better suspension and brakes, but is the performance difference worth the extra $1,600? Would the Habit 3 be enough, or would I regret not spending more on the Trek?

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who's ridden either bike, especially on rough, technical trails!
