Anyone up for a slow ride at GH Saturday morning? I've been there 5 times and I still don't know my way around.  I wish I can ride with you Greg but I'm working every Saturday now. I might be able to do a lap in Graham on Sunday afternoon 3:30 PM (wheelsdown) after I finish all my wife and kids errands in the morning 'till 3pm. |

Sayang, Jon. I have to take my daughter to a two-parter self-defense class in the city on Sunday at that same time.  We can try for Sunday morning next week.  |

Graham hills this morning at around 0845 hrs. I think it was 14 degrees (not counting wind chill) throughout my ride.  Snow covered rocks aren't fun. I may have to install a front squishy. |

Rxr, are you going to Graham tomorrow morning, then? Do you have a Lynskey?

Hey Grnamin. You went by yourself to GH? Looks a little icy. Was it? A little too cold for me to go on a Road trip. Probably go to Stillwell tomorrow. Bringing my studds just in case.
Yes. I'm running a 2010 Lynskey Ridgeline (industrial mill) myself. Yours as well I see, with a Niner carbon fork.. must be really stiff up front.

Yep. GH by myself. Didn't spot the snow-covered rocks. Crashed a few times. Looks like I'm switching to a squishy fork. Not icy, except for the frozen streams. I have a 2009 Ridgeline. Your 2010 version is much sweeter. |

Thanks man. Hope we can get to ride the trails soon.
Speaking of forks. Do you have the clearance for one by the downtube/headtube area??
Had bought an 08 Titus Fireline frame on ebay but it didn't have the clearance for a fork so I had to put it back on ebay. Your 09 Ridgeline looks similar to the Fireline clearance. Let me know.

Hey Grnamin. Just posted my first ever pictures on this forum. It's my 2010 Ridgeline 29er.
It took me over 3 hours to finally learn how to post pictures.
Thanks Chute. I read your post on "posting your pics on Photobucket".

Not sure what you mean about the clearance, but my Niner Carbon fork has a slanted crown and it clears fine. The Rockshox Dart 3 I had also cleared fine. I'll check out your Ridgeline pics. |

I mentioned that I purchased a Titus Fireline 29er frame and I tried to use a RShox Reba 29er fork on it. The fork crown/lock-out knob was not clearing the downtube when turned the handlebar around. As a matter of fact, I've read a handful of blolgs of similar issues with similar frame geometry. I thought that you may have had the same issue. Glad you didn't. I wasn't comfortable in knowing the fact that with the Titus frame; if I were to crash; the tire/fork would turn completely around and probably dent the frame downtube. That's why I had sold the frame and fork back on ebay. |

Rxr, the downtube of my 2009 has a factory "dent" that helps with fork clearance. I'll take a picture of it. Jon, yes, I'm as Pinoy as tuyo. It was really cold yesterday at Graham. I usually take my fleece cap off from under my helmet in the middle of a cold ride, but I kept it on the whole way through this time. May ice pa on the top of my cap. |
