I definitely want to jump in on this one since I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly side of stans. Lets start with the good. I live in El Paso...every...
Just wondering what kind of training everyone is up to. I've been doing about 20 miles on the road 3x a week and 20-25 miles on the dirt on both Saturday's and...
... a ... Eladio...just stay the course, hang in there and the next chance you get, push the dirt ride out past 30 miles, just go a little further out on the...
the problem that I keep running into on long rides (besides the sore tush)is hunger. I can't hear the approaching cars over the grumbling tummy. A big...
Gels! Those power gels, goo whatever you call them definately give you an energy boost, curb the appetite and you can suck them down without having to stop....
David thanks for the response. Have you tried any of those gels or bars? I have been doing powerbars just to eat something while riding. The riders at the...
I've tried a lot. My best experience is PowerGel; strawberry/banana (has Caffiene), and Zone bars. One really has to experiment as each of our digestive tracts...
I, like you, have tried many a bar and goo packet. I rode the Kokopelli last year and landed on a satisfying, but somewhat weird, combination for fuel - beef...
Seems like a good time to throw this info out there. If you're flying into Colorado for the event, here's what you need to know. First, your choices are to...
Here's my 2 cents worth. Your digestive system can only process about 280-350 +/- calories/hr. So, if you load up your stomach w/ much more, you get that...
Ha! I made it! This has been an adventure in itself! Stans --I started last year with cheap rims I converted, or tried to convert. It did finally work, but...
I would like to hear more about the training you folks do out there, and if I'm doing what I need to be doing here (Missouri). I'm at about 1400' elevation. I...
While I haven't mtn biked very long, I have spent a lot of time on a bike. I have tried several things: Sweet potatoes mashed up with orange juice and maybe a...
I'd like to lighten up my bike as much as possible, and tubless tires are very heavy. I'd like to try the Hutchison Python Lites, but don't want a flat....
I live next to the kokopellie trails and ride them several times a week. I would not pick those tires for this ride. I currently ride conti-2.3 vertical pro...

After reading your e-mail I would guess that you should work on long climbs. There are many fire road climbs, no, lots and lots, so work on them. The first...

... tires ... Kokopelli? ... Kathy, For a ride this long you need a set of tires that have a lot of meat. Meaning "big tires" Remember is not a race. The tires...
Ride with a lower gear must of the time to simulate hills. Join a spinning class. I teach one 3 times a week. It keeps your legs and butt in shape. You can add...
I'm curious why such a large/wide tire? Is the trail that soft/sandy? I've been riding on Hutchinson Python 2.0. Worked fine on the White Rim except along...
Hutchinson New Generation Pythons now on sale at Supergo for $35/ea. These are the new Pythons with a bigger/knobbier shoulder. Not sure about any weight...
I haven't seen the new ones, but my original hutch's flated at moab quickly. Tire weight is not as important as floatation and rolling resistance in my ...

Slime tubes would work fine, but I belive they are heavier than the Stans system and may not protect you from pinch flats. Alex doesn't recc. stans to sell you...
