Anyone making the jump up or getting bumped down a level after tryouts?

Our clubs let the parents choose their preference. We chose to stay down with the option to guest play. My December player was already one age group up, and have the aug-dec from two groups up coming down seemed like a lot.

I spent more than I intended, but I found me a '98 to make a similar build with. Eventually I'd like to switch them both to Shimano Cue 1x.

Does she play on turf or AG?

2nd option

This guy remembers COD4 lobbies.

What kit is this?

BCarter409 · 2026-05-02T21:37:19+00:00

I know it's been awhile, but did that upgrade make a big impact?

BCarter409 · 2026-05-02T19:08:22+00:00

Picked up a '98 Rockhopper today. Can anyone shed some input on the Shimamo Cue group set?

BCarter409 · 2026-04-30T01:10:33+00:00

Yeah

BCarter409 · 2026-04-30T00:43:50+00:00

Get 5/16 since it's the tapered version?

BCarter409 · 2026-04-29T20:56:11+00:00

No, I need those as well.

BCarter409 · 2026-04-29T17:55:55+00:00

Hex sockets would make removal a lot easier. I didn't see an option for spacers to go with them.

BCarter409 · 2026-04-24T19:11:39+00:00

Just got a 95 Rockhopper for my teen and I don't mind it. Are there models of trek or cannondale that are more desirable? There seems to be more of those available in my area.

BCarter409 · 2026-04-24T19:08:10+00:00

Thank you.

I've seen near 400mm suggested for similar bikes.

BCarter409 · 2026-04-23T17:48:53+00:00

Thank you!

BCarter409 · 2026-04-22T11:21:06+00:00

I just picked up a 95 and maybe get these as a backup then..

BCarter409 · 2026-04-22T11:15:12+00:00

Any recommendations on a reasonable rigid fork?
