1Wow! Racing news! I love it. This site needs more racing news. I am completely serious
When we got to that I took a longer alternate route back down to the road as I have a fear of heights and I'd probably get freaked even on the smooth stuff because of being so close to the edge. My buddy rode down and said it was a piece of cake; not sure…
I've only ordered from them a couple of times. One time they sent me a brake pad package that had come open and there were no pads in the package or anywhere...
I generally prefer standard Pearl Izumi socks, 2 inch tall cuff. But half the time I end up riding in just my everyday socks, because I already have them on at the...
I should make sure I spell things like "advice" properly before I hit the submit button
I seem to hear people advising new riders to get a plus bike because it makes riding easier. I think that is bad advise; riding skills are a good thing to learn and probably best learned when first getting into the sport... just my opinion. I also hear people advising newbies to get a super…
Thank you for this review. I still prefer bibs over baggies any day.
Brilliant!!
Rip Van Wafels are my go to pre-ride food...tasty, filling enough, but don't sit heavy in the stomach
If that type of bike is what you are looking I'd go for the Trance 2, as it seems like the best value in its class. I live in Georgia so if...
I've been getting emails about this as well. My reaction? Meh. A bit of a kooky idea in general and in Columbus? Seems like something that should happen in the metro Atlanta...
With your description of "however probably never progressing beyond beginner/intermediate level with still lots of riding on gravel/old wood roads" I'd suggest a standard 29 or 27.5 hardtail, depending upon what size...
back in the mid 90's when I started mtn biking this was called "riding light".... back when we used skills instead of getting bigger wheels,using wider tires or slacker head tubes to make riding easier
I would prefer it to just do what it was designed for and maybe make that experience better. I'm trying to rid my life of excess social media, not add more... especially if it will just clutter up what I consider a great tool
I always prefer road helmets, but I always prefer lycra when mountain biking as well which seems to put me in the minority these days
The only time that I rode Porcupine Rim was on a 26" hardtail with 80mm travel up front (yeah, it was a while back) and I had a good time
That used to be a thing back in the late 90's, but I don't know anyone who still does it. I hate wearing a pack, unless I am on a 3+ hour...
Nice!
It has been 17 years since I rode Walker Ranch. I still have the scars from an epic crash there... over the bars total carnage, I wish I had video of that crash as it must have been quite a site. Then we had to ride the bikes back to town with myself in horrible…
I'm not sure why anyone would say those are not real mountain bikes. They all look okay to me. I have been riding mtn bikes for 23 years and almost pulled the...
The unofficial trail builder that I am assuming you speak of is who I first thought of when reading the thread topic. That person has been honing the craft for about 20...
Great Divide Titan is my favorite IPA
I'd love to do this but it is on a race weekend here in GA. Maybe next year. Bear Creek, Mountaintown, Potato Patch, etc was the area I cut my teeth on in the 90's, I'd highly recommend this ride to anyone not familiar with the area
I saw this beer and it really looked like something I would enjoy, as I am not terribly into overly hopped beers and am always on the lookout for a great hot summer day beer. But once I got into the first of the six pack it seemed real weak on the flavor and not…
Glad that Snyder stepped in to fill the void in Tucker after Bikeways closed shop.Good people. They are now my closest shop; according to their map I live somewhere near the Plateau of Gorgoroth!
uhh, you sort of screwed up here... sounding like a douchebag trying to cash in easy money rather than a true mountain biker who is in the sport for the right reasons....
Always start with cleaning and re-greasing with a creaking in the drive train. I recently had a creak in my bottom bracket area when putting good pressure on my road bike. I...
