Nah, people were complaining that the "Downhill'ers" were tearing up the trails and something about Dh'ers disrespecting other riders. *shrugs*

I dunno. Just people being babies.

Mikey McFly · 06-26-2011, 02:26 AM

So, I'll be leaving at 7am. Just trying to give myself some room to make it there in time. Anyway could I get a contact info of somebody else that is going? I don't want to drive like an hour and a half or 2, be a couple minutes late, and get to an empty courthouse, you know?

stinky_180 · 06-26-2011, 02:34 AM

Meet at 9, ride by 930; Sent you a PM Mikey

Mikey McFly · 06-26-2011, 02:55 AM

Sweet deal. I'll see you guys there.

*Vatche* · 06-26-2011, 05:01 PM

good ride guys! it was just 4 of us, but we did see a white s14 with a bike rack on the trunk over his kouki wing.

we will start planning next trail ride

Mikey McFly · 06-26-2011, 06:22 PM

Definitely need to plan another ride. I woke up feeling like crap and had to bail.

keistyle · 06-26-2011, 06:57 PM

Count me in for the next one too. I forgot how funny it was to do athletic things with girls, they suck so bad. I was laughing the entire time hahahaha

stinky_180 · 06-26-2011, 07:05 PM

Awww, I thought that sweet white Kouki S14 with JDM aero was yours Mikey!! There will be a next time!

I SHOULD be free next Sunday for another ride. Maybe we can ride Turnbull Canyon for you LA folks?

GPS track/log of today's ride:
Fullerton Loop | Mountain biking Workout | Endomondo

NEdriftah · 06-26-2011, 09:18 PM

Sup guys? Im in the Torrance area and am always looking for new trails to shred. Usually ride the trails in Palos Verdes (Del Cerro Park?) because they are real close.

karl wasabi · 06-26-2011, 11:55 PM

Cool, I just got a mountain bike a couple weeks ago cause I want to get back in shape. Just saw this thread; awesome! Here's my bike, it's a GT Avalanche 2.0. I'm down to go riding!

I'm pretty sure that white kouki was Enrique, Norm's buddy. he's started riding the loop too.

DAMN, I need to get bck into shape. Guess it's time to tune up the sled. I'll try to make it out next time.

Nah, I have a gunmetal 240 hatch. I had my rack on and everything ready to go. It just wasn't my day I guess.

*Vatche* · 06-28-2011, 01:14 PM

we will be going to whiting ranch from corner 3 garage weds before the irvine meet. we will be leaving corner 3 around 6pm. if anyone can make it pm me so we can keep in contact.

keistyle · 06-28-2011, 02:04 PM

dang it, well, i'm only free on weekends and friday evenings

Mikey McFly · 06-28-2011, 07:56 PM

I'll just stick to the weekends. I can't be making Irvine drives during the week. =P

stinky_180 · 06-29-2011, 02:09 AM

If my wrist feels better, i'll ride with ya'll tomorrow.

Mikey McFly · 07-08-2011, 04:05 AM

So what's up with our next ride? I'm looking forward to doing something this Sunday coming up. Can't decide what trail to do though.
Or just do the loop again until we get a legit group and then start exploring around SoCal. *shrugs*

Too bad Mammoth Mountain is crazy far. We'd have a blast tearing that thing up. Has anyone hit it up?

karl wasabi · 07-08-2011, 04:25 AM

I need some new tires. What's everyone running? I was on some Kenda Nevegals, but I'd like to try something different. I know a lot of people are running Panaracer Fire XC tires; thinking about a set of those.

I'm down to go on the next trail ride. I'll probably be really slow though since I'm out of shape. haha.

Mikey McFly · 07-08-2011, 04:43 AM

I'm running Kenda Blue Grooves on the front and Kenda Nevegals on the back, both with XC tubes, not DH tubes. There's a pretty good noticeable weight difference. =]
I'd like to run the trail they did two weeks ago, if no one is against that. It looked like a pretty sweet chill trail with some single track sections in it. Not sure exactly which route they took but the loop is still a pretty fun trail.

I just saw that you were from SD. And, if by "TW", you mean the "baseball player" out in Poway, then yeah, I've heard of it. Haven't been out there since like 09' tho. We should make that the next trail ride actually. Probably not the best for hardtails tho.

*Vatche* · 07-08-2011, 10:21 AM

i blew my front fork trying to fix it last week, so im waiting for my new fork to come in the mail. i bought a marzocchi 44 RLO. hopefully i like it.

MWH_Photo · 07-08-2011, 10:35 AM

Marz forks typically leak like hell out of the box, but once they're fixed they're good for a number of years.

Also, don't store a Marz fork horizontally.. keep it vertical as much as possible.

If your decent at servicing them, pull it apart when you get it and check to make sure there's the right amount of oil in it.. they're notorious for being short some oil..

If everything works as intended the 44 is a pretty sweet fork, heard a lot of good things about it.

..I just sold my bike and I miss it already =/

*Vatche* · 07-08-2011, 02:44 PM

thanks for the info, i have never pulled a fork apart.

and i might pull my old manitou minute apart and try to fix it for fun.

i definitely dont want to pay someone $100 to service. thats money that could go to my car

but i will look into checking the amount of oil thanks for the tip.

i just recieved my tracking number it was shipped today so i should get it next week maybe monday or tues.

MWH_Photo · 07-08-2011, 03:34 PM

No worries, glad I could help. Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking?

We just had our Marz rep come out and fix quite a bit of forks a few months ago and he said the seals were setup to function and rest in the vertical position. Not sure if he was BS'ing us.. but it makes sense thinking about it.. The way they ship out all of their forks forces them to sit in the vertical position while sitting in stock.

Just don't panic if you do see oil.. it's pretty typical for a Marz fork.

*Vatche* · 07-08-2011, 04:55 PM

Road & Dirt Cyclery, Where the Dirt Meets the Pavement

is where i got it from. it was super cheap. no tax, no shipping. $207 shipped.

so i am very curious to get it in my hands and make sure its for reals haha.

Mikey McFly · 07-08-2011, 05:44 PM

When you get your fork, lets test it out at TW! Yea boi!

karl wasabi · 07-10-2011, 03:25 AM

Going to Marshall Canyon in the morning! I'll be there at around 11am.
