most all hand held gps are waterproof to the IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. this means they are supposed to be good to submerge under one meter of water for 30 minutes.

i started with the 25" Bighorns on my 650i, and after getting hung up in a "interesting" place a time or two, i switched to the 27s. the 27s on stock wheels come close to rubbing, but do fit. i like the 27s for the nasty trails and would get them again. drop your pressures to 2.5 to 3 psi and try th...

i have two Camelbacks. one is the military Mule (100 oz.) and a larger military Transformer (101 oz). i bought the military ones because i hate the colors of the regular ones, and the military ones seem better made. the smaller Mule would be a good one to wear on an atv. i like the larger Transforme...

i went from 25s to 27s without changing anything else. couldn't tell any difference in power. i tried a primary spring swap (from stock to EPI pink) that raised engagement (or added stall). i did not like the added stall at all. it made it much more difficult to creep up an obstical or across an off...

i run 2.5psi rear/ 3psi front in my 27s for the trails. great grip, good floatation on snow, smooth ride, but not the best for high speed runs, but i ride low range 90% of the time anyway.

i believe that the hard steering talked about on the tight woods trails may be from using aftermarket wheels. more offset can affect handling, and would be difficult to seperate that from tire related handling. (in fact i just looked at the review again and there is now a disclaimer talking about of...

i have done limited research here, and have just tried different springs. i installed the EPI pink (pri) and black (secondary) springs because they were getting raved about on the boards. the black secondary works fine and reduced the ratio a little (which i was looking to do. i don't wanna be able ...

we did the Poison Spider/Golden Spike/Gold Bar Rim at Moab riding double without any issues, but the GF had to hop off for the three or four hard ledges. the "Skyline Drive" hill is about max for me riding double. any steeper and the passenger has to hike up it. two things to remember, tho. first, i...
