    Ugly modern bikes

    A couple of questions for the respondents thus far to this post and its subsequent thread content. Do you regularly test ride some or many of each year's new bikes? To be sure there is a great deal of the newest/latest buzz and branding(microfiber carbon layup, the newest/strongest/lightest...

    Shimano Deore Thumbshifter Rebuild/Mod Guide

    Very nice job of documenting the reassembly process! If only this level of documentation were available for a dozen or so of the other shifter models/group lines. Mods. Any benefit in creating an index in the archive of the shifter models (and other components), showing those that have this...

    What is a suitable replacement for a 98 Rockshox Judy XC

    A bit more to add to this thread. It took some time and a fair amount of dogged research to find another Rockshox Judy XC. Except for the length of the steerer tube (185mm versus 215mm), it is the same fork, albeit somewhat more used and banged up. My original 215 mm fork is in excellent...

    Any light recommendations??

    Several weeks back I read the thread about bike lighting, posted a reply about the MagicShine I have, and read the subsequent replies about the lower cost Chinese knock-offs out of Hong Kong. Bought one. CREE XM-L T6 LED with a 4400mA battery. It took a month or so to arrive (by sampan) :D...

    old mtb for heavy-duty touring: recommendations please

    By all that I have read (not actually ridden for this type of ride), stay with a lugged, steel framed bike. If you have not already done so, consider joining Adventure Cyclist. That site is all about exactly the ride you are planning. Decent information on that site, especially about sourcing...

    In the event you haven't used it already, you can get a bit of information about the Moab line from BikePedia.com, ==>http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bikes.aspx?Year=1997&Brand=Schwinn The I agree that this is probably a 97, just from the paint scheme alone. There are a couple of things to...

    SCHWINN MOAB BUILD

    Your thread caught my eye, it being about a Moab. Not a lot of dialog on this site for that bike. Hence I was curious. I'm pretty familiar with that bike. I own two, both 98s. One, a Moab 1 ChroMoly 21" was purchased new in 99. I still ride and race it. The other, likewise a 98 21 steel...

    Repair Stand Advice

    The pic of that unit in you link shows a nice large tripod base. A question for the other respondents to this thread. One of the pics seems to show a typical garage work area: the repair stand, another bike, bikes parts, a roll-away tool chest, a tool box (ammo box?) etc. How big of a deal...
