Perhaps not a direct answer to your questions, but surely a heap of information and considering the further links given, this serves almost as a comprehensive guide to the world of tandem-riding: http://www.mtbtandems.com/index.html Of course, some questions remain open.... Thinking about...

Hi, I just found a very small piece on Mt Chaberton in "Mountain Bike, Alpen special sommer 2007". These guys say that depending on your skills and endurance, getting to the summit involves 100 to 180 minutes of bike-pushing, they rate the entire climb at 6 to 7 hours. They think it's an...

@Schutzblech: Sicherlich nicht!! I'm learnning german and I can understand +/- everything (with a high quality dictionary next to me), but I'm still far away from active knowledge:( ; I chose to mingle in your territory, I'm happy for being allowed to write in english; DO continue in...

Septimer was on the program, nice to hear you rank it very high. Have to do some checking out on the others you mention, thanks! 3 years ago I went snowboarding in this area; we took a guide for the Lagalp and for the Munt-Pers-Morteratsch off-piste. Incredibel! Maybe the trip around Lagalp...

Hi to all! Actually, I'm planning my trip and I'm very happy to fall on this thread! Lately I was "inventing" my system of carrying lugguage on such trips. My aim is to get rid of my backpack for as many ours a day as the "road conditions" allow me to-I mean all easy going flat and uphill...

Hi, my personal favourite trail in that area is not too far from Gérardmer: right in between Kruth(nearby lac de Kruth) and Ventron (near Cornimont, 12 km south of Gérardmer) you find the Col d'Oderen. The GR-signs in the north-direction lead you to a orientation table on the Grand Ventron...

That means Ammunation, you feel the "crowded trails and huts"-alarm is a bit overdone? Well, that's nice to hear! We have a fair amount of time (+/_ 3 weeks), so time enough to give way to hikers, brake in time and take into account some other good advise. ;) Any other opinions...

Sorry to write you in english, but I'm probably saving you an headache by not trying in german...(Replies in german are, of course, no problem!!) Next summer-august-we-three Belgians(one female, two not so female)- will make oneday trips and some longer ones, in your country. We bought the...

My first mountain bike was a GT Karakorum Elite with the typical rear U-brake. 1991 It featured: -Cromo, rigid fork -a DX-group: positionned in between LX and XT- before the XTR-days. -Ritchey Megabite tires: before the Z-max profile, but just as good and all-round. What was really...

Yesterday my girlfriend bought a new backpack for next summer's AlpXing and I am ever so jealous. Look at this! http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/news/article/mps/UAN/3088/SP//v/2 Apart from the price( 129 euro in Belgium) it's close to perfection in my view. Now waiting for the...

My girlfriend was close to delirius with her Sella Italia Trans Am after a long period of struggling and pain and discomfort.

Perhaps this says a little more: 2006: http://www.bikx.de/cube-fritzz-p-1783 2007: http://www.foxracingshox.com/fox_bicycle/bike_index.htm

Good morning. Mine is a 2006 and its brown. I believe the 2007 is black.

Hey guys, feels awsome you answer me in english but I really don't wanna poison your threads!! "Reihenweise" is the only word of the entire thread I had to look up(but meanwhile my german vocabulary has gone up by one!). Feel free to continue in german. Do Magura-or Formula...

Hi, sorry to write in english, I can read german but writing it would be a pain for the readers... I ride with HFX-9 for 3 months now and due to a minor "ground check" I have the same "knik" in the rear tubing. No leak, 100% break performance. BUT: I see it this way: it isn't alive so...
