Question by Mike: I’m looking for a site showing pics of cycle accessories on bikes owned by riders (not bike models)?
The pics of the accessory are not bike “models” but are bikes owned by riders who bought and installed that particular accessory. It also gave a list of all upgrades put on the bike. Anyone know which site I’m speaking of?

Question by muppetnz: How do you look after your front shocks on mountainbike?
I have rockshock ‘Pilot’s’ but not sure how to look after them. Do I just wash the chrome or do I also silicone spray them?

I think that the Pilots have elastomers in them. This means that in place of springs or gas, they just have small rubber grommets to absorb the shock. If this is the case, simply keep the sliders clean and lubricate the sliders about every 10 hours of use with a good lubricant like RockShox lube or Pedro’s.
Remember that just because a bike has shocks that it isn’t necessarily a mountain bike. Most everyone that calls their bike a mountain bike actually owns an atb, or all-terrain bike. An atb is intended for on-road and off road on smoother trails. Chances are if you paid under 0 for it, you have an atb.
Also, it might be important to note that shocks on a bike are there for the same reason as shocks on a car… not comfort, but handling, to keep the wheels on the ground. Although some shocks do indeed reduce vibration, again, they are primarily on heavily padded “comfort” bikes or atbs, which are built for an entirely different purpose than a mountain bike.

When you go for a bike ride outside Vancouver, B.C. on a wet day, be sure to wear the Endura Men?s Venturi eVent Cycling Jacket. Endura?located in the United Kingdom and familiar with soggy riding weather?made this jacket with incredibly waterproof breathable eVent fabric, sealed the seams, and used waterproof zippers for the pockets. Neck and hem drawcords and cuff adjusters let you seal out every last drop of moisture. The chest pocket has an audio port, so you can bring your tunes without fear of your device getting waterlogged, and the Venturi?s back pocket holds your map. Rear vents let you unload body heat when your uphill push turns into a slog. And when you endo while going down, the durable Venturi gets right back on the bike along
