	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... read full article 0 comments
	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
	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... read full article 7 comments

I think you have a great argument for your trails, but not all trails. I know I try to avoid the popular trails big time. I hate being in the way for hikers. The Stealth is designed for all applications,...

It's also possible the phone/app still thinks it's somewhere else. The "nearby" trails list is more expansive--it shows trails within 25 miles so it's a good check to make sure the phone/app is where it thinks it is. You have a...

HardTailFreak2000 reviewed Palmer Park

Spent yesterday riding Palmer Park. A great ride offering a good variety of difficulty and terrain. Templeton Trail (Part of the trail system) was an amazing ride! Parts were a little tough for my skill level, but the trail was worth a little hike. A lot of fun. Almost makes me want to build a full suspension... Almost.

I sure don't think it's "of the Devil" LOL. Looks interesting, but the problem is, what's the right place to ride it? I don't think I'd want to see it on most of the trails I ride. It's almost gonna...

mtbgreg1 Great points. But no one is saying you are bashing the tech, so lets leave this point.. The point was maybe your brakes and such are overkill and could be interpreted that way. For example a Stealth or at least...

npappas replied to Re: Stealth electric bike on the forums

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...

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!
