Review: Feedback Sports Sprint Work Stand
posted May 22, 2013 by syd
Finding a bike work stand that can handle the larger weight and size of the gravity-oriented bikes I normally work on can be a challenge. The Sprint stand from Feedback Sports conquers the stability obstacle by holding the front fork and supporting the bottom bracket, keeping...

posted May 21, 2013 by mtbgreg1
The "Imaginate" series goes behind the scenes with Danny MacAskill as he prepares for his greatest movie yet. Red Bull has given Danny a blank check to do basically whatever he wants, so the pressure is on. Not so much from outside forces, but Danny is...

Bubblehead10MM reviewed Siue
Nice place near by St. Louis. All up My Tracks says 9.78 miles and 2801 vertical gain (including back tracks and connectors.) I'm not sure where all that vert came from. There are no monster climbs, but lots of little ones some short and steep and a couple gradual long ones. Most of it is good fun ride in the woods. Many fun water crossings mostly with well laid stones or found material in them. GORC maintains trails, and they're in pretty good shape, except loosing battle with vegetation, both from above and below, and a occasional dead fall. Good maps at TH's and markers at intersection, mostly easy to follow. You can ride parts of 1, 2,3, 4 and or 6 as a sircute or individual trails as loops. 5 is a supper fun little roller coaster, and 8 is very roller coastery to but wide and starting to wash out a little. 7 is a short side track.

Is that a sponsored badge, by any chance Jeff? Because if it isn't, you should consider it. It would be a fantastic way to get some advertising revenue. Have certain badges that are reflected on a premier badge page, the users'...

To read that, you would think that the majority of Americans are a litigious bunch of asshats that consider spilling coffee in their lap akin to winning the lottery. Oh. Wait.

Slee_Stack reviewed Harbins Park
Harbin's caters better to beginner and intermediate riders. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but its not a destination that I choose very often. There are too many more interesting options relatively close by. The newer trails are super wide and super easy. The older trails are fun to ride, but they just don't have enough length. Great place to introduce a newbie to trail riding, and godd enough place if you live nearby and hit it up occasionally for variety.

Just added a new badge: MTB Whistler. Check in at any trail within 25 miles of Whistler (including the resort of course). Who's going to be there first to grab this one? http://www.singletracks.com/ci/badges/89.png

CraigCreekRider replied to Re: Mountain Biking brings tourism $$$ on the forums
The average mountain biker, according to statistics, is an upper-middle class middle-aged man (30s-40s). I resemble that statistic ... Guess I am a statistical outlier on the old side And according to this study on the poor side.

Another tip: how to know if the rim is out of true due to spoke tension or a bent rim. If the spokes on the side of the wobble are loose, that means the spoke didn't pull the rim over...
