I ride a 23 year old Trek 970 not good for jumping anything, i want to get a bike for dirt jumps now. These were really small tables at Chewacla state park in Al, you...

I ordered Giro Privateer HV Bike Shoes, in a 10.5 and 11 from Back Country they said I could send back the ones that didn't fit, the HV is supposed to be high volume EE.

I'm doing a paddle, trail run and MB race. it will last about 4 hours or more. How much water should I drink the day before and how many days before the race should I quit training or rest? It's on Oct 12th in Bama so it won't be that hot i guess. Thanks Crash

6/27/2012 8:05am
I'm a bit out of the loop, haven't even thought about fenders but I think fenders would be cool as long as you aren't riding in a lot of mud or some where that could pack them up with junk, you could spray them with cooking spray i guess. If was a hard core racing type i don't think i...
