Both Shimano and SRAM are out to fix an issue that has plagued the mountain biking community since the beginning…chain slap. Their answer? The new rear derailleur offerings from each side of the shifting camp are now clutched/damped versions with the ability to run a tighter chainline with a flick of a switch or push [...]
Over the past couple of weeks, my back has been feeling great. I am not getting any pain at home and I am able to hit the road and trail when I have time. Life is good on the road back to the bike during my recovery. However, I find myself in a place in [...]
Just when you think you have seen everything, a picture like this pops up on the web. I have heard of sticks getting caught in wheels, wild life taking out riders and even squirrels finding their way into brake rotors – but a snake around your bike has to be the wildest on trail animal [...]
A riding friend of mine Kyle is great about sending over unique videos that I would like. This one is no exception. In his words…”some nice camera angles” and that is an understatement. I absolutely love the way this video was stitched together and the riding is on par with the footage. Now…I really need [...]
For those of us in the southeast US, this week is a pivotal point in our year. Daylight savings time hit and that sparks the beginning of our true riding season. After work rides without lights are now a reality and the weather is about to get warmer. For every rider, it is the beginning [...]
The World Cup DH mountain bike racing season kicks off this weekend in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. With Steve Peat’s Santa Cruz Syndicate team switching to Shimano and Fox Racing Shox and Sam Hill healthy, all eyes are on this first race to see how the competition is going to stack up for the year. Specialized [...]
I keep up with Aaron LaRocque’s edits through Facebook and he brought this one to my (and everyone else that follows his timeline) attention due to the massive success it has seen on Pinkbike.com. At the time of this posting, it has over 151,000 view that are well deserved. This video rocks…check it out.
Thanks to products like the GoPro Hero and video on modern DSLR and micro 4/3′s cameras, it is easier than ever to capture the ride experience out on the trail, edit it and then share it with the world. What used to take thousands of dollars in fragile equipment can now be done with a [...]
Awhile back, we hit up our Facebook fan page and asked everyone if they would like to see “Live the Ride” wristbands from Bike198. The response was so positive that we decided to move forward with the project and now they are officially for sale in the Bike198 store! For most of us, riding is [...]
The Pacenti TL28 26er mountain bike rims have been built up, mounted and thrashed around north Georgia. It is time to weigh in and let you guys know what we thought about the new rims released by Kirk Pacenti at Bikelugs.com. First, these rims caught our eye almost instantly due to their light weight and [...]
This video popped up on my radar yesterday and one of the first things I thought about was Stewie on the Family Guy pronouncing Cool Whip. You’ll see once you hit play, but Chappy and Art are hwhipping it out on a massive amount of flowy doubles in this sequence from So Cal. Check it [...]
Shimano released their new update to the SLX component group recently. With the new changes, you have to wonder…what is the appeal to XT now other than weight (which isn’t that big of a difference)? SLX now gets the Shadow Plus technology for the rear derailleur that used to set the XT groupo apart from [...]
