Video: Silent Swamp - An Evergreen Trail Building Mockumentary
As a small business owner and a family man with two younger kids, I can understand people say, "It's hard to find the time". In addition to that, we have had several situations around here where well-meaning folks have performed "trail maintenance" in such a manor that it actually causes a bunch more work for the people who knew what they were doing to repair properly. So to say that someone should just take the tools along and put in a bit of repair time can be a double edged sword. Around here, it is highly discouraged to perform trail maintenance outside of an official work party where the work being performed can be overseen by someone in the know. Now because of this policy, it often makes finding time to join a work party difficult to impossible for people with busy schedules. And sure, you could make the argument that repairing the lip of a jump of berm is dead easy, but even those menial tasks have been screwed up by those who thought they were doing the right thing. Don't take anything that I just said as an excuse for not trying to make the effort, but at least in a lot of cases, there are some behind the scenes reasons why people find it difficult to volunteer and the last thing a qualified trail builder wants is to have the trails damaged even further by people who mean well, but really don't understand proper trail maintenance.

KS ETen Seatpost Review
""Some rave about how good KS was about servicing their defective seat post. I called their US rep, but their reply was that since I bought from bike24 (in Germany) they couldn't do anything for me in terms of warranty. The only option left was for me to pay $80 for shipping this C grade product for a refund to Germany"" I purchased a LEV from an overseas source and it arrived with a pretty fair amount of play in it. I called KS directly and was told that they couldn't service the post since it was purchased overseas. However, once they learned that I was located in the US, they changed their tune and asked that I send it in for repair. I had the shock back within the week and it has been working perfectly ever since. They explained to me that their original reaction to the repair was because they don't want to be shipping posts back overseas for repair when they have sources in Europe to handle that. However, since my post was going to be shipped within the US, they took care of it right away. I'm not sure what their policy for Canada is though. By the way...I love my LEV!
