Yes and NO. Hopefully that answers your question.

This thread sucks. How dare anyone criticize SDMBA. They are doing a wonderful job, behind closed doors. If you guys would just go to a meeting you could see just exactly how awesome they really are. Of course they don't care about you and your agenda. Who do you even think you are questioning these people? I bet you have never even sanitized a trail, or cleaned all of the trash off a closed one in order to kiss ass hoping to get it reopened.
Until you too have done next to nothing to represent the local mountain biking community, you should keep your ideas and opinions to yourself.

Your suspicions are probably correct, but to be sure, send a PM to JohnyB he might know a thing or two about it :thumbsup:

Do I know you? Have we met? Maybe you dont like what I posted on SDMBA's website about the poll thing. Oh well, your just a nothing, with a small life. Ha, and your group calls yourselves pros, so lame, get a clue.

New for 2013; saint = XTR; zee=SLX; the chain width on 9 and 10 speeds are different. Splurge on the whole set up and give us a review :thumbsup:
Change the pulleys on the Zee to the 9 spd type if possible and run a 9 spd chain.

Well, if nothing else, this thread got someone to post up after lurking for four years. And now you have your first "thanks". Don't wait another four years.

Now that I'm home from work I can see all the pretty pictures and videos blocked by my company. I coulda sworn I saw something hilarious earlier involving 24V and an SDMBA calendar that I can't find now.

Anyhow: Jeremy's baaack! Noob shock value up 83%. DT entertainment value up 101%.
