What about Bralorne? I know you guys rode Sunshine Mtn, as did I! Many thanks for the ride back to my truck, CK's!

Woo-freakin'-hoo! This will be a good one! Those trails are flowing better than I have ever seen them. Awesome!

HV is an awesome riding area! I was there a couple of years ago and was amazed! No hike-a-bike required, however. The locals ride up all that sh*t! Sooke Mountain Cycles rocks, too! Thanks again for the grip bolt, Lorien!

The ghetto method can be achieved without zip ties. When you cut your inner tube, leave long, narrow 'tabs' at the top end. I then tie these together using square knots and trim the excess. The knots can then be untied and the tube easily removed and ready for re-use. I do put a zip tie just above the arch, however, in order to stop the tube from rubbing on the tire when the shock is compressed. I've been trying the MuckyNutz guard lately and really like it. Next time, I will make a ghetto model out of a pop bottle and velcro, however. It's hard to justify ~$14 for such a thin and simple piece of plastic. My two cents.

I haven't got them yet, but I told Gary he could have one for his Tomac. I am going to try just one on my rear for the Sunshine Coast next week. Thanks again!
