Modern mountain bike suspensions have a lot of little adjustments that can make really dialing in your bike a daunting task for those riders that are not used to setting up a bike. With air pressures, damping control, rebound adjustments and travel changes, there are a lot of factors that effect each other on your [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This past weekend was the SE Bike Expo, so I headed up on Saturday to take a look at this first annual event (that also happens to be an hour from where I live). The SE has needed something like this for a long time. There is a very strong riding community here that never [...]
On October 2, 2011, some friends of mine and I headed up to Pisgah National Forest for a special ride. My wife was scheduled to have our first baby that coming Tuesday, so this was a chance to get out for one last weekend before our son came. The weather was perfect, the trails were [...]
I have seen a lot of different things over the years, but this has to be the most extreme trials maneuvers I have ever seen done on carbon road bikes. Last year, a video was released by Martyn Ashton about his road bike commute where he did some trails and dirt moves, but this one [...]
Over the weekend, two conclusions to arguably two of the biggest stories in professional cycling doping scandals finally came to an end. Alberto Contador received a 2 year ban from cycling for his positive test for clenbuterol at the 2010 Tour de France and Lance Armstrong’s two year long investigation into doping was closed with [...]
Outside Magazine recently ran an article titled, “Who pinched my ride” where Patrick Symmes talks about stolen bicycles and his experience (with multiple rides stolen) in New York City. While Symmes is probably in the worst place in the US for bicycle theft, it is something that happens every where to every group of cyclists. I [...]
I came across this info graphic about cars and bikes this morning that I thought was really valuable. It is…by far…one of the best illustrations I have seen to date on driver/road biker relations. I can not begin to tell you how many rides I have been on where a road biker will yell, scream, [...]
So we posted up the version from NSMB.com that depicted typical comments made by mountain bikers…and more specifically…those in the North Shore. People for Bikes thought it was a pretty cool idea, so they put together this clip of “Shit Cyclists Say” for the roadie crowd. It’s amazing how even though riding groups are spread [...]
Anyone who knows the long history of Magura should not be surprised with this announcment. They are going to be the first company to go mainstream with hydraulic rim brakes for tri and road bikes. Magura carved a name for themselves back in the late 80′s and early 90′s by providing the first hydraulic rim [...]
