@ Donfacundo,
Keith Bontrager has a credo for buying mountain bike components.
"Strong............... Light................... Cheap............"
Pick only two.
If you want "strong/cheap"--- it won't be light.
If you want "light/cheap"--- it won't be strong.
If you want "strong/light"---- it won't be cheap.
But then again, all materials will always have a certain breaking point depending on one's usage. Hence always check your bike...
Take Extendead's case for example, if it wasn't for the sharp eagle eyes of another rider, he wouldn't know that his frame had already cracked. Hehehhee.
So just make sure to check your bike all the time before and after riding.... If something breaks, chalk it up as added expense for having a lot of fun.

yup.... AM... cuz ive been wondering also why in most of the national DH courses here in the RP there are uphill climb sections? WTF? when i was in nelson BC i shared this to the other hoemgrown locals there... joe schwartz was there he came in late cuz he had to babysit his sister's kid.... they all just laughed.. i was also in aubugne, france b4 a and got the chance to ride les gets off-season on a KHS dominatrax(wow tagal na nun ..hahaha)... i mixed in with the italians n the others that actually spoke english..... i shared to them this thought too... they all laughed.. hahaha
thats why wer kinda late in skill riding progression in the RP cuz we only stick to what we know..... when pistol pete of iron horse came here he was laughing hi ass out... that was 10 years ag0.... then hans rey.... then Luke S. ... when luke gave us a taste of the Canadian A-line..... we were all awww struck... everybody got a taste of fear.... and thats just a freeride line........ what more for an international standard Full DH race course? ...
... well all i can say is if they build one of those here they better build a hospital next to it! ......and of course a Pub! heheehe.....flowing with beer n grilled food!

Yup Yup. I thought as much ...AM pa lang.. that Camsur Track was fun and nasty at the same time ...for the Pros! the sequence of challenges was awesome : 3 jumps then 2 (10 footer then an 8 footer with a wall stop) drops ..but the "in the trees" swirling trails before those were blissful! totally manicured ! yup....

is it true that gatorade is better than water?? or the juan's buko juice tops it all??? alin ang alin??

Post by REDNEB on Oct 13, 2007 6:40:03 GMT 8
myth 17 is a marketing ripp-off!
gatorade can replenish thrist, potassium, and dehydration but only to a certain level wherein there is minimal effect.... the human body can only absorb so much when fatigued! No its not an energy drink that replenishes your energy! it does not it just makes you not thirsty!
proper preparation is still the best thirst quencher! sleep eat rest properly!

Storing forks upside down is bad for the oil and stanchions?

Post by mountguitars on Oct 13, 2007 22:09:59 GMT 8
Storing forks upside down is bad for the oil and stanchions? so far, rockshox is prone to oil spillage. i have a recon and a revelation and it does the same thing when in make the bike stand upside down: spill oil. so i give hermie of velocity a call coz i thought there was something wrong with my forks. he tells me not to store the bike upside down or else the oil will spill. so now, i know. ;D but so far, my suntour, marzocchi, and manitou can be stored upside down. though these forks are only the entry levels which cannot be travel adjusted and has no lockout. im thinking that forks arent totally sealed becoz of its lockout or the travel adjust feature. that's just me though.

not true rcg hehehe.... ( loko loko nag sabi sayo nun brad...pramis)
dont let queisledaddy hear you... tampalin tayo nun heheeh....
lubricants such as hydraulic oil have characteristics to coat and adhere to the internal components and these lubes dont freeze or sieze( sebo? hehehe..minola yan di yan motul!), im very good when it comes to oil or petrol products... i sued BPs ass b4 hehehe.... when it comes to lubes if you want performance stick to what the manufacturers recomend... leave the R&D( research n destruction) to the experts.... hehehe
a close frnd also asked me that... i didnt answer his question lang.. i said " ano yan ginebra?"
you cant turn it upside down cuz san miguel will drown? hah? hehehehe......
and either your fork is hydraulic or pneumatic if it sags or leaks .... its prolly time to get it looked at by a certified mechanic, back then forks were speed spring and elastomer rigged... your fork would just stop in the middle of jack! and then youd know its time to get'em looked at.... hahahaha....

regarding rockshox... solution.. aftermarket seals... but there are certain forks that really and must not be stored upside down....
.... regarding hermie... hehehe loko loko din yun! hahahah... tech guru yan nyahahaha... i remember hermie whenever we would be disecting new products... he'd go.. relax red horse muna oi! tao gumawa nyan ... ako di tao aayusin ko yan! hehehehe.....

Post by mountguitars on Oct 13, 2007 22:42:57 GMT 8
Then it is just ok to keep my bike upside down, how about the hydros? oh yeah, that's another thing. air in the reservoir might get into the hose if you put the bike upside down and when air gets in, it will affect brake feel and so on. so in short, it might ruin your day, hehehe. ;D so i guess just make sure the reservoir is higher than the hose. or, in short: make sure the bike is standing on its wheels. ;D

heheh... if ur hydros leak upside down theres something wrong hehehe.... hydraulic systems require high pressure motion... if its leaking it aint gonna work right.. have it checked.... valves, seals, hoses, reserviors all that up to the piston on the lever has to be sealed securely.... as for forks... there are old oil-bath forks that shouldt be stored upsidedown for long periods...
so no matter how you store your bike if your hydro systems are ok you won t worry bout this myth..... hehehe.....

@ rcgmachineshop,
So far, most fork companies say.. when your fork has an air system that sits right beside the hydraulics... don't store it upside-down longer than is necessary. Translation: okay magbaligtaran nang ilang oras pero huwag buong gabi!
The same goes for hydraulic brakes, because if there's any air inside... it travels to the caliper. That's what the mtb publication gurus claim so far.

Yes, I noticed that a fork with air spring left upside down, it becomes stiff and you have to wait for the oil to return to normal levels before you can use the fork again.
If you cannot wait for the oil to return, then for sure, syet will happen.

@ Extendead,
The persona of Ritche Hortillo is a triumvirate of varying, albeit conflicting personas that nevertheless appear randomly throughout the day.
Jamal -- a spice trader who used to live in Kota Kinabalu. After a hard day's work of selling a lot of chili peppers, onions, and garlic--- he decided he's had enough... got a ticket for the Philippines and never looked back. While hiking in a certain mountain, he got passed by Extendead on a bicycle... He then thought,
"Uy.. heeheeheehee... ang bilis niyon ah! Makabili nga rin ng bike."
And thus, began Jamal's ineluctable love affair with the mountain bike.
Julio--- a very famous singer back in the day. But during one of this performances, he saw Extendead cross the stage on a bicycle and then drop off the platform. He then sang out:
"I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle!"
And thus, began Julio's hopeless infatuation with the mountain bike.
Ritche --- typical boy-next-door kind of guy who nearly got hit by Extendead while walking down a very dark alley. And since Ritche was petrified in the dark, Extendead had to accompany him to the nearest streetlight. That was when Ritche saw what hit him:
"Uy, ang ganda ng bike mo ah. Heeheeheehee. Makabili nga."
And thus began Ritche's infallible addiction to the mountain bike.
