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...

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...

toxic_ reviewed Blue River Trails
To be fair I haven't done the whole thing, just a few miles around the main trailhead. It's a fine trail, but there's no reason you should be here if you have the time to get to Swope or Landwahl. Either park has much more to offer, and are not infested with a horde of hyper aggressive ticks. If you come, bring your DEET.

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.
