Thinking about taking mom up there tomorrow. Still worth seeing? I've never been myself.

Trying to pull a 50+ foot cylinder out of the ground. It's got two 20t bottle jacks on it and a 3t chain fall already. We hit it for a while with a jackhammer and that got it up 5-6" but then it stopped hard.

Next we tried a compressor with 3/4" pipe sections and water to blow some air down around and under the cylinder but we can't get more than 2 lengths down there without it packing the end with oily quicksand and stopping the air flowing. We lift the pipe before adding the next section but it's still not working. It actually sucked the pipe down out of my hand when we lifted it at one point.

Share your methods for pulling cylinders please. We need some ideas.

My new Pivot trail 429 has rusting bearing. The outter race that you can see while installed in the frame is rusting very badly.

I do not wash my bike, I just let the dirt dry and brush it off. It does get wet riding but very little, and it lives inside.

I've only had the bike a month or so. Is this normal for mountain bikes or is something wrong?

I just got a Pivot Trail new, and twice already the der has collapsed towards the chainstay, once even causing some damage to the paint and carbon.

I'm able to push the der back to re-tension the chain and ride on, but this keeps happening. I took it back to my LBS and they re installed the der and it loosened up the very next ride.

I see that you are supposed to be able to adjust this by hand in the opposite direction when the cage is struck by an object, so maybe this is just a product of rough and bouncy descents?

Has anyone had this happen?

Looks like the brick store is back! I'll have to take a motorcycle up there this summer.

I did a 100k ride yesterday and an hour or so afterwards I noticed swelling and soreness of my sitbone area.

About 20 hours later it was gone. All I did was take some motrin for general muscle soreness.

I have done rides of this length before with no issues, and while riding I felt great. My new saddle (second ride on it) is non existent under me, even during all but the last 40 minutes 6 hours of this ride. It is far and away the most comfortable saddle I have used.

Anyone with experience with this? Could this just have been bruising of some sort? I see that bursitis takes days to clear up, weeks even for some people.
