	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... read full article 5 comments

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.

I want to see how that holds up on a nice 10' drop 10 foot drop? I wanna see it go over a curb without the rider falling off or the tire/tube doing something terrible.

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...

tsrkempton reviewed Yankee Springs

Took my wife there and we had a blast. She is not a Mountain Biker and hos only been once before but she made it through fine. I do not think it is rated properly as advanced and should be intermediate. But is is fun ride and a good workout!

This article got me thinking about the other one posted recently, stating how bike sales are going down. The inference I draw from this is that bikes have become more sturdy and reliable, lasting longer before you need to buy...

Here's a tip: don't ever loosen spokes when truing a wheel. Wheels go out of true due to spokes loosening, so find the loose spokes and tighten them up. You can pluck the spokes like a guitar string and listen...

jeff replied to Suspension wheels? on the forums

Just came across these "suspension wheels" for foldable bikes: http://www.springwise.com/spokeless-whe ... ble-bikes/ http://www.springwise.com/img/uploads/2013/05/loopwheels.png I just can't wrap my mind around how this would work. It must be pretty stiff "suspension"--otherwise the wheels would turn into ovals whenever you hit a bump.
