1. Don't ever let ShinKen set the pace on a ride. You will die
2. CeeDub is a sandbagger, don't make any "friendly bets" with him before a ride.
3. LBMTB commonly tells people to "Stay thirsty, my friends." He means beer.
4. You get five points if you can guess what brand of bikes the following people ride: TurnerRob, ChumbaJason, TitusChick, TurnerWhore
5. When FoShizzle says "You're Ghey", just take it as a compliment.
6. MTBer3737 is the oldest mountain biker in the world. He is also faster than you or me.
7. Report to CC for "kickstand inspection" at the first ride you attend.
8. Report to SheClimbs after you get your kickstand inspection, for a "rearend and final drive inspection". Pray she doesn't give you "the shocker"
9. STR is way better than MTBR or Ridemonkey
10. Support JensonUSA and Adrenaline Bike Shop since they provide financial support for STR
11. Don't be stingy with the "thanks" button, it is free to use
12. No matter what your personal feelings or exeriences are, don't ever tell Dino Brown that Iron Horse bikes suck.
13. Don't ever challenge Guero to a drinking competition, you will lose.
14. FiredYoMomma, however, is a lightweight. I've seen girl scouts and Mormans drink him under the table.
15. Don't ever expect Integradriv3r to wake up in time for a ride, you will be waiting for a long time.
16. The only reason why Ladd Jasper is so nice is because he pitys the slow
17. Don't try to have more posts than TKblazer. It is impossible.
18. If I am ever on a ride with you, expect to hear a lot of cursing followed by crashing noises. Call 911 when this happens.
19. 2WheelLee and Hoosierdaddy can do one-handed wheelies up hills you or I would walk up. You will learn to hate them as much as I do.
20. AndyakaRut and Genusmtnbiker are the official STR ambassadors to every bike race available.
21. If you can catch Sauce, you get to kiss her. (Don't bother trying)
22. *Fill in the blank: I don't always drink beer, but when I do I drink _____________.*
23. *If I can see the coins in your pocket, you had better use them to call a tailor.*
24. 53,482: The number of bikes Rob will have to work on to pay off his bike parts and hot wing debts
25: 15.31: Number of seconds, on average, that a post by GabrielZink stays on the forum before it is deleted
26: JordansRealm has a better job than you, or me, or anyone that doesn't work at the playboy mansion.
27: LetyRides does roller derby. She is tougher than you.
28: Don't compare tattoos with JSims or QueenWilhemina. You will lose.
29: ~Pakiha~ was once the owner of the largest bruise in the history of man.
30. PainFreak thinks his moustache make him look manly.
31. Don't talk to Gurp13 about dogs.
32. For that matter, don't talk to Shudder about chopped Harley-Davidsons either
33. Dstepper makes the tough choices look easy: "Hmm I broke my Turner 5-spot frame, so should I get another 5-spot frame, a Turner RFX or a Niner RIP9? Eh, I'll get all of them and sort it out later."
34. Avoid hucking contests with CalEpic
35. Report all Steven Jackson sightings immediately. You'll know him when you see him
36. Mechmann and Allison don't really have jobs, all they do is go on bike trips
37. Carbonman and Shugamama ride the same trails as everyone else. But they do it on a tandem, pulling a trailer (seriously)
38. If you use words like cheers, bloody good, smashing, footy, tuppence, wot wot, guv'nor, or have ever said "God save the Queen" and meant it, then you will get along great with KeithB, Lefty Kev and Lazy Brit
39. Yes, I do love my bikes almost as much as my wife and daughter.
40. 1x1Clyde is faster than he looks. A lot faster.
41. Jackieo gives new meaning to the term "starved for attention"
42. PacMan has been seen recently racing around on his bike, eating dots and running from ghosts
43. You may know TurnerRob by his Indian name: Supah Wrench
44. When One_leg_rolled_up gets done with a ride in his reeboks and jeans, there is usually a bunch of pissed off riders on bikes that cost 4x as much as his that got dropped somewhere
45. Kid A excels at ignoring the doctor's orders
46. The following members are broken: Kid A, slowSSer, ChumbaJason, ~Pakiha~
47. There is no sex in the champagne room.

Most importantly: No one gets left behind. Ever.

What's your build (body type) like? If you're tall and skinny and have some money get a rigid Pace carbon fork. (bling)

If you're hard core get a Niner rigid fork. Otherwise go with the Reba at 80mm. You can always space it to 100mm if you find 80 isn't enough. IMO.

Is the Niner set up for 80 or 100? I don't know off the top of my head.. I know that the Dos Niner (Salsa) is set up for 80mm. It's been enough for me.

Hubby's not as tall as you, but weighs a little more. He runs his Sir9 with the 80mm. The 100mm will definitely give you a bit extra, but be careful on the head angle. May steepen it up a bit with 100mm.
