Let's do a little math... Your current setup is a 36 paired with an 11-28. That gives you a gear ratio range of 36/28= 1.29 to 36/11= 3.27 . An 11-34 tooth cassette with your current 36 tooth chainring will provide a range of 1.06 to 3.27. A 32 tooth ... more »

New thread The biggest sale to hit Vital? 1/29/2012 10:26 PM
Wow. I cleaned out the garage recently and was blown away by how much stuff I've accumulated that I don't use. So… it's time to sell it all. There's at least one of just about every component or accessory listed here, and many of them are brand new. ... more »

If they released the schedule, they likely won't add any. Seems like slim pickin's for 2012.

Interesting date choice. Also cool to payout to Am's. I think. Got a prize breakdown?

I'd advise against getting anything not made by one of the well known brake manufacturers (avid, shimano, hayes, magura, hope). You won't be able to get replacement parts easily, and most off-brand brakes perform really poorly.

What's your budget? There are a lot of options. Most djers only run one brake, which may save you some coin.

Hey Danny, there a a decent number of places to ride near LA, but none of them are really considered public "parks." Do you know what part of LA you'll be in? It's a big place and there are trails on all sides of it.
