	What's in your hydration pack? posted May 24, 2013 by mtbikerchick Lately I've been interested in decreasing the weight of my pack for mountain biking. I want to climb better and it seems like having less weight to carry will help. The other day I weighed my pack, an older Camelbak; without water the pack weighed 3... read full article 13 comments
	Video: "Rocky Mountain - Fortitude" posted May 23, 2013 by mtbgreg1 Rocky Mountain's approach to suspension on the Altitude platform is truly unique. I wrote about it briefly after Interbike this past September, but in a nutshell the Ride 9 system provides 9 different geometry combinations, which change the seat tube angle, head tube angle, and suspension... read full article 2 comments

Dude, you guys are sillyness. Kinda like why do we have disc brakes on our mtb's? Because it came from motorcycles. Or why do we need suspension when you should not be on those rocks anyway. Your screwing up the...

When I bought my Airborne, I was a bit worried about taking it in to a shop, but I never had any issues. I think that most shops need whatever kind of business they can get, and aren't that picky...

I had a similar issue with my Rocky Mountain Element, which has a suspension setup almost identical to yours. One of the swing arm bolts was backing out, and would cause a similar issue. The bolt for me was the...

Yeah, its funny, we didn't bash the tech at all. In fact I think we all commented on how cool it was! Looks like they made it pretty robust.

I wouldn't bother. They got a notification of their product and just came to defend it. Definitely! Cut and paste PR post. Gotta give credit for such a quick response from them!

I think what you guys are failing to consider is the fact that the first on the scene is always expensive. It's the Chinese and Taiwanese knock-offs that follow that bring it to the masses. WalMart's fatbike, for an example....
