How hard do you ride MTB? Come to Windrock and we will ride and wheel one weekend

 

This hard lol




That sounds like fun!!!!

 

'ada boy! Not riding hard enough till you're breaking shit. You would like Windrock then. Two mountains, a DH side and Enduro side; it's quality east coast singletrack. A few local pros (Neko Mullaly) are leasing some Windrock land and have developed it into a solid bike park (though I prefer the enduro side).

 

haha I know Neko. I'm friends with his dad and have ridden with him and his littlest brother! Last year we went to Bailey in NC and I had to buy bars off him since mine were cracked lol

 

Yea man neko is a beast of a rider. His road gap at Bailey scares the hell out of me as it looks like you just fly off into the abyss. Never been to windrock, why do you prefer the enduro side? My buddies say windrock has some crazy rocks there.

 

That road gap is nuts haha

 

Yea man it’s like 40 ft. My boy hit the smaller 25er when neko first was messing around with bailey.

 

I really enjoy true mountain biking. Pedaling to the top with tight, steep, fast descents. That's exactly what the enduro/"xc" side. Plenty of rocks at Windrock but not as bad as TTC in my opinion.

 

Are there some crazy features at windrock? I would assume so.

 

I enjoy that too. I love climbing, I love descending, I love flow, I love slow and technical, I love stuff that scares me. So much fun haha

 

While trail stuff is fun, getting rowdy on the descent always is my fav. Not just because it’s adrenaline, but there is always so much to learn and get better at.

 

Oh yes. And since those guys build full-time the trails are always changing. Its dope

 

Yea man I got to check that place out. Been on travel too much this year, but finally slowing down with that just before Dh season!

 

there is nothing better IMO than hearing that noise of the knobs gripping when you rail a turn. literally that's my favorite thing ever when descending

This lol

 

update on the power steering:

Checked the res, it was empty. bought mobil 1 ATF and topped it off at lunch. just checked it again, and it's still full at the level I left it at.

so, does PS fluid like evaporate? I have no idea where it could've gone, I have no signs of any leaks or anything.

weird. Hopefully it just needed fluid!

 

Is there fluid on the boots on the rack and pinion? I think that when a rack and pinion goes bad those boots fill up with the PS fluid, which is where yours could have disappeared to.

 

I like having smart friends lol. I'll check after work. If i see it, does that mean new rack and pinion?

 

Yeah pretty much. I had to replace mine when I bought the truck. That was one hell of an adventure!

 

I think @Arcticelf replaced his at least once? was it painful?
