Flagstaff is indeed an awesome town. Hike, bike and drink is what it's all about! That and skiing. Northern Arizona Univ. is a great school; best known for it's most famous drop-out: Mark Thatcher, the guy who invented Teva sandals!Originally Posted by ryno lite
Flag is awesome! I wish I could have gone to school there. My college friend was a city engineer for a few years out there so we'd go out there and hike, bike, and drink!
Prescott for elementary school, Jr. High and High School, then Flagstaff for college!
What parts? I lived in Mesa for almost 5 years.
I can really hold my Guinness.
Some dead guys part is in my knee. So yeah...that was the second one because I didn't want them stealing any more of my other body parts to put me back together......
I'm from Arizona but New Hampshire has the best state motto. I use it in every facet of my life!
Did you have one done with an autograph (your own tissue) and one with an allograph (harvested tissue from the dead and gone)?
Healing time with the allograph is much quicker, which is what I used. I started PT the day after surgery and biked in the Black Hills in May so I guess recovery time is really based on how hard you work in PT.
Yes, air. It's a Fox Float-R.
From everything I could tell, it seems like some of the pressure leaked from the positive side to the negative. We added pressure to it (probably way too much), which made it rock-hard, but still in the near bottom-out position.
I should have known that I was on borrowed time. About a month ago, I had dampening problems, which we "temporarily" solved by turning the dampening adjuster to almost full-slow position.
This shock is only about 3 months old. My other Float-R is about 3 years old (from my Gary Fisher), and has run flawlessly. Fortunately, they are the same length and stroke, so I plan to swap them tonight (assuming I don't run into any surprises). If that doesn't work, I'll be on the single speed for the summit.
I've thought about switching to coil spring, but decided that the cost was more than I could stomach. I'm currently planning to send it to Push for an extreme makeover.

New Hampshire? I was born in Hanover.Live Free or Die!
There's nothing natural about an off-road bike trail.
And I thought that was from last night. I had that same surgury twice on my left knee. Not fun at all. The first time in 92 it took 6 - 9 months to heal from and get back on my bike 100%. The one in 99 took about 1 month to heal and get me back on my bike. I would say I was 100% after about 2 months. The advances are amazing. Not even sure how long it takes now....but both of my experiences were vastly different.
I'm assuming it was an air sprung shock? Bummer.
That's why I'm a fan of coil sprung shocks and forks. Who cares about the extra weight, if/when the seals blow, its still ride-able. (really springy, but still ride-able) Ditch the air!

"...it would be nice if MORC put in more doubletrack..."
As is Vicodin and an IV full of Sloe Gin Fizzes.
Well, I'm glad it healed up quickly. I had knee surgery about 3 years ago. The knees still hurt, but they fixed the bad problem. Advil is proof that God loves us.

It is nice, isn't it? Here's another view!!!
Sure, Bob. I would love to have matching knees!!!
I'm kidding. That photo was taken 2 days after I had my ACL reconstructed back in December.
