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...

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...

CraigCreekRider replied to Re: Stealth electric bike on the forums
Interesting discussion on this here Any way I look at it I see an electric motorcycle. Looks like fun, but where do you ride it? Obviously private land is the best place. Scooters have become quite popular here, but I...

PClarke replied to Re: Schwinn or Diamondback on the forums
The reason I thought of buying one is because the frame on my Schwinn is one of the smallest you could get it in, I think. That's what the guy at the shop said, anyhow. My neighbor's Outlook seems to...

Well...the thing was...I didn't know the bike was small for me until that guy told me so Then I thought "well, he should know" and then it wasn't as comfy as it had been. So maybe it's just a mental...

You've got to know your audience. Try to appeal to the people that have already proven they don't like to pedal with their previous purchases Besides, They probably didn't have much of a choice. How many well known mountain bikers...

schwim replied to Re: Schwinn or Diamondback on the forums
I was simply going by your statement that your current bike felt comfortable. If you don't feel cramped on the bike and it's comfortable for you, it doesn't matter what size the frame is. If it does feel cramped then $100...

schwim replied to Re: Schwinn or Diamondback on the forums
I would suggest that you save your money if you feel comfortable on your current bike as I would not consider the DB to be any real step "up" in quality. If you're in need of ultra-cheap, also keep an eye...

bc3xx0 replied to Re: Giant Revel fork Upgrading on the forums
I don't know if they are any good but I have heard good things. Your bike probably needs the 1.125" straight steerer..... Which they do have. Suntour had an upgrade program that knocked some off the price of an epicon or...

I'm just glad they're using a MX'er to push the product than an MTB'er.

lilyallure reviewed Marshall Mesa Area
I had a lot of fun on this trail. I found that going to the left when you start out was easiest even though you start out with a couple long climbs. Toward the back of the trail there was a little more gravel than I would have liked, but not bad. It's more of a network of trails rather than one single loop. You can go around a couple different ways which was confusing for me as I had never been on the trail. I believe it connects with other trails in the back and across the road, but they are not clearly marked. Despite that, I would recommend this for any beginner!

Hi there I have a Schwinn Frontier FS (front suspension) that is in good shape (just got it back from the LBS it came from; they tuned it up for me) and is a year 2000 model. I'm tall, as...

I've had a set of 661 arm and leg pads for more years than I would care to admit. They've definitely kept me from getting chopped up riding various dh trails over the years, but my set have pretty much...

I can't comment on the Airborne you are looking at, but I do have an Airborne road bike, which I have had for quite a while. I would say that it is a good platform to upgrade, especially for the...
