Review: Dakine Tour Jersey
posted May 24, 2013 by maddslacker
I recently received the Tour Jersey from Dakine for testing and have put it through its paces out on the trail. Tour Jersey The Dakine Tour Jersey is clearly geared toward the freeride crowd with its 3/4 length sleeves, loose fit, and heavier material. Overall the fit of...

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...

An Inconvenient Fish
posted May 23, 2013 by skibum
While mountain bikers work hard to build new trails, we constantly face losing existing ones as a result of development, lobbying by hikers and equestrians, forest fires and natural disasters, Wilderness designations, and other rule changes. One area, almost literally in my backyard, seems destined for...

PSUtuna reviewed Baker Creek
This really is a shame. It is such a nice area, and there are so many other nice trails near by. I know the last time I rode there (about 4 years ago) The trail was almost gone. I can imagine that it is a waste now. Hopefully, one day it can be rebuilt!

Ok so here is the deal. I really like this bike from the reviews and some extensive research and am thinking about making the purchase. I am currently riding a giant revel 2 which i figure isn't really really worth...

robroy1031 reviewed Trek Mamba
Pros: Bike has been ridin 280 miles in the first 3-1/2 months. i have not had any unusually problems so far. I have upgraded to a better rear de-railer, but all products are money well spent. i got mine for 930 plus tax. Cons: grips are a little lame, and the tires are not the best, but will obviously be upgraded here soon enough.

robroy1031 reviewed Graham Swamp
Trail is around 6.6 miles, not 5 as stated in the description. Some good, steep climbs, a lot of sand. Good exercise trail. Has plenty of up and downs, I normally try and ride this trail twice if its not too sandy. Have seen more snakes and baby hogs. Not sure if that means the parents are close by. Trail as of 5/24 needed some work. Some overgrow, and down trees.

They've gotta come up with something new/different to get us to keep dumping money into the industry, even if the product really isn't any better! Anyone tried Magura forks? Their brakes aren't bad.

CraigCreekRider replied to New Funding for the Roanoke River Greenway on the forums
Good news for those of us that use the Roanoke River Greenway. This money will connect the 2 ends as built now, Roanoke and Salem. It will also connect the Roanoke end with the Blue Ridge Parkway. http://www.roanoke.com/news/1954902-12/ ... river.html...

schwim replied to Magura EELECT electric fork on the forums
I'm on a roll today with the electric gizmos. Now for Magura's EELECT front fork: Following RockShox and Fox, Magura has jumped into the electronic suspension game with a new auto-lockout technology called eLECT. It's surprisingly simple, lightweight and, best of all,...

PSUtuna commented on An Inconvenient Fish
Great write-up! I'm torn between these situations. On one hand, I enjoy mountain biking, but on the other I'm an avid hunter/fisherman. I understand the battle between conservation, development, and recreation opportunities. I would hate be in the land managers...

PSUtuna commented on What's in your hydration pack?
Always have mine with me. I carry a first aid kit containing: band-aids, ibprofin, a small ice pack, and liquid stitches (don't laugh, I used them about two months ago when my calf had a run-in with my chain ring)....
