PNW Rainier Gen 3 Dropper Post - Aug. 6, 2020, 6:56 a.m.

It was between the PNW Rainier and OneUpv2 for me. I eventually chose the OneUp due to the longer length and lower stack height. At this point I see no reason to spend more on a dropper. Easy to service and they just plain work. I couldn't ask for more.

2020 Rocky Mountain Slayer C70 - July 30, 2020, 7:43 a.m.

Definitely a sweet bike. I'm not typically much of a weight weeny but a 38lb bike is beyond what I'd want to pedal up the mountain on a regular basis.

The United States was the first country in the Americas to gain independence from colonial powers which probably contributed to US citizens using the term American.

My Favourite Push-On Grips - July 13, 2020, 5:37 a.m.

I love the Renthal Ultra Tacky and Kevlar grip compounds. Both provide more grip than anything I've tried especially when it's soaking wet. The Kevlar grips are a gloves only option for me though. I tried riding with them gloveless and they gave me pretty bad blisters where the Ultra Tacky does not. I'm assuming due to the more abrasive kevlar compound. The Kevlar does last quite a bit longer though. I recently removed my push on Renthals from my bikes after I tried some thicker grips and realized my hands prefer fatter grips. If Renthal made a thicker push on or even single clamp grip I'd go back to them in a heart beat.

Riding the 38mm 2021 RockShox Zeb - July 8, 2020, 10:05 a.m.

I'm going to be on the lookout for a lightly used Lyrik for my hardtail too! I have an MRP Ribbon on it currently and have never really been able to get it to feel the way I want it. The fork is light though, I'll give it that.

The Zeb definitely sounds like it's going to be an excellent fork. I'm looking forward to trying one out. I know the Fox 38 is going to be commonly compared but I'm curious how it would compare to a DVO Onyx SC. I'm about 210lbs and the Onyx feels noticeably more stiff to me than a Lyrik or Fox 36 under certain conditions.

Dear Uncle Dave: What's with the Drivetrain Cartels? - June 26, 2020, 1:50 p.m.

I'm fine with SRAM or Shimano drivetrain if I'm buying a complete bike. Same with brakes. But if I'm building up a frame I will choose Shimano drivetrain and Code brakes every time.

Behind the Brand: Orbea - June 25, 2020, 6:49 a.m.

I've demo'd the Rallon a few times and loved them. The more progressive linkage is sweet and I loved the more progressive rear compared to the older linkage. Orbea are sick bikes and I'd definitely consider one when I feel the need for a new bike.

RRP ProGuard Bolt On Fender Review - June 24, 2020, 10:32 a.m.

Same! I like that my fork came with an integrated mud guard but it hardly stops any mud from flying in my face.
