Manly Dam double step
I was really disappointed to see someone has jammed a rock into the double to smooth it out. This is one of those technical features you really have to work at (and buying a bigger wheel size helps) so jamming a rock in there is just the worst kind of dumbing down the trail.

Old Man's Valley update for 11 Jul
Avoid Lava Flow. Beyond the rock armored corner the trail is pretty slippery but the climb out is far too wet. There are a number of muddy puddles but for almost the entire climb the trail has a very wet clay layer that's barely rideable.
The Blue Descent and the single track climb back out are in good condition.

SXC Euro Adventure

Transalp is the Euro version of the Cape Epic, with riders challenged with 7 days MTB's across the European alps.Starting in Ruhpolding, Germany, through Austria, the Dolomites and finishing in the beautiful Riva del Garda.

Specialized FSR stumpjumper carbon 2014 SRAM crankset removal
Looking to remove cranks to grease up BB. On the web appears I can use 10mm hex to remove non drive side crank, but on the bike it says "do not remove" and the drive side crank has the instructions to use 10mm hex, the direction to tighten and the torque. I am confused, which side do I loosen to remove. For some reason I can't download manuals at the moment.
Do I ignore the "do not remove" non drive side hex? I am used to Shimano not SRAM? Appreciate any advice so I can calm the creaks.
