I don't think that there's a specific mountain biker's forum anywhere around here, so if you are a mountain biker, have been a mountain biker or, most importantly, want to be a mountain biker, this thread is for you.
Your host, (me) bought his first Mountain Bike Action magazine in 1987, saved up for a year, and had his first mountain bike the following year. I have worked in the bike industry since the mid nineties, and owned my own store for 16+ years, but have since changed careers and now am a full time knife and sheath maker and cutlery designer.
During those years in the business, I was always a bike mechanic. I also fitted bikes, sold shit, paid employees, led group rides, created a bike club, advocated for mountain bikers and all kinds of fun and interesting stuff.
If you have technical questions, questions about setting up your bike and riding it, sling em my way. I'm always down to help a brother out.

My shop, which I had to leave in 2020 due to the owners selling it off. Sure wish I could've pulled off a mortgage but I guess it wasn't meant to be
