Greetings to AMB

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Just found this NG today and thought I'd introduce myself.
My name's Darrin and I ride in Southern California 2-4 times
a week. I'm 36 and this is my fourth year riding. My bike is
a 2002 Trek Fuel 90 with Avid mechanical discs. I'm lovin'
this bike, except the chain suck that sucks even though it's
infrequent.

Just finished riding Big Laguna Trail and Noble Canyon in
East San Diego County today with a couple of friends. Loving
the pain I'm feeling now. Sucks I have to work tomorrow...

Peace.

What type of cranks you got on that bike? Would they

Chain suck on a trek? Wow! Ride it until you break it and
then use your gig earnings to get a quality bike.

Several of us frequent posters here on this group rode
Laguna/Noble last weekend. Fo me it was the first time out
there since the fires. I was happy to see so little damage
(relatively speaking) in the area from the fires.

The photo on the front page of your site reminds me of an
old girlfriend I had. Well, except for the black bar
across the eyes.

On another note (intended- sorry) where do you guys usually
gig in town?

What I ride is not really important. Names is for
tombstones, baby. What is important is that neither
smellsworthless nor santa crud are bicycle manufacturers.
They are only marketing and (sometimes stolen and often
outdated) design companies. You never know who is really
building their bikes. Stick with your notions of Yeti and
Intense, unless you don't like low bottom brackets, then
count out the Intense Spyder. If you were leaning towards a
santa crud blurb hypecycle, ask Anthony Sloan what he's
switched from one of those to. Riders ride bikes, not
buzzname mass-marketed junk.

Unless he's changed his stock setup, they are.

(But I'll mention again that I haven't had chain suck issues
on my old Fuel 90 or on my new Sugar, both of which have
those cranks.)

They were until I bent one like a pretzel in a crash. I had
to do an emergency unbending with a large rock just so I
could ride out. Replaced with Shimano XT cranks.

Thanks bro. If you're in my neck of the woods when we do a
show email me at darrin at tommyhomicide period com and I'll
get you in the door. Same for anyone else here.

Rockin' and ridin'; That's what weekends were made for.

You know, I've seen a lot of people posting to various
message boards that have this bike, so it may be more
popular than I thought. I rarely see Fuels on the trail.

That's my current plan. Thinking of what XC FS rig I should
get next. Leaning toward Santa Cruz. Also considering Rocky
Mountain, Yeti, Ellsworth, Intense. What do you ride?

Yesterday was the first time I've ridden it. What an awesome
trail! Saw a lot of burned forest, but things are growing
back nicely. The scenery was spectacular. Rock gardens were
very fun as well for the most part.

ROFL! Good thing it's an old girlfriend and not current.
I've been there too with the psycho women.

We play wherever we can get gigs. San Clemente, Oceanside,
Corona, San Diego, San Marcos. Our gigs page has a full
history of every place we've played in the past two years.
