OneUp Releases Full Cockpit & Dropper Post Lengths Covering 100–210mm - April 12, 2019, 3:03 p.m.

With innovative gear like this, we're truly in a golden age of bikes.

Tannus Launches New Tire Inserts For MTB - April 12, 2019, 3:02 p.m.

I'll stay tuned for a long term review but color my skeptical. Relying on tubes sounds like a step backwards. Then add more mass? Meh....

WTB Launches Two New Aggressive Tire Options - April 9, 2019, 7:46 p.m.

Doubtful they'll change *my* game but they do look promising.

Bontrager Flatline MTB Shoe - April 3, 2019, 7:13 p.m.

After seven seasons my Five Tens are finally ready for the big shoe pile in the sky. I will definitely give these a test. If the size 48 fits as well as I hope it does, I'll snatch up a pair. (And for those that don't know, Bonti's fit guarantee means I have 30 days to return 'em.)

It'd be fantastic if they also offered these with an SPD-compatible sole. Trek, if you're listening.... they'd go great with my Slash!

Introducing the Forbidden Bikes Druid - April 3, 2019, 7:02 p.m.

Looks absolutely awesome. Fit and finish appear to be tip-top. I too have been following them for some time and now very eager to get on one. Here in Bellingham, WA it looks like Fanatik Bikes will have a demo day 27 April. I hope an XL is available for a lap as I am +3 on the ape index.

Introducing the Forbidden Bikes Druid - April 3, 2019, 6:58 p.m.

Agreed.
My guess is that's Owen's influence as Norco has offered size-specific stays for a little while now.

Recycle Your Old Shoes With Shimano - March 15, 2019, 8:30 a.m.

This is pretty awesome. I have a decrepit pair of DXs and a pair XC shoes from the mid-00s that really ought to disappear but I really don't want to put em in a landfill. I'll bring em up to Vancouver next month!

Project 321 Hub - Long Term Review - March 15, 2019, 8:04 a.m.

I've been on a P321 hub since late summer and no bearing preload problems at all. Park laps, shuttles, trail rides. I *really* like the near-silence when coasting.

How to Make Your Riding More Rad!* - March 6, 2019, 6:28 p.m.

Thanks for re-posting, Cam, as it reminds me to commit to re-learning the skills of manuals and wheelies. I was decently capable in years past but lately as I have grown older and leisure time gets more and more precious, "deliberate practice" is an afterthought at best.

Really looking forward to some sunbeams to melt the Bellingham snow (shakes fist at sky) so I can apply Ryan's lessons in a nearby parking lot after work. Twenty- and thirty minute blasts of focused, intentional skill-building are easy to add to the mix.

Dakine Hot Laps Gripper Storage Solution - Feb. 13, 2019, 1:47 p.m.

Clearly there's more than one way to skin a cat. This Dakine item serves as my tire-repair solution, nothing more. Levers, CO2, one tube, and a pair of Pedro's levers. While I don't care too much about the paint on my frame, I don't want to use toe clip straps, gaffer tape, etc. The Hot Laps Gripper does the trick.

Then the other essentials you cite are in my Bontrager Rapid Pack (save for my EDC pump, which resides next to my downtube mounted water bottle), which is another really nice piece of kit. Compact, affordable, durable - it's a nice go-to.
