CamelBak Chase Bike Vest - June 14, 2019, 7:07 a.m.

I see a surprising number of these among the "go fast and long through the forest crowd", considering Camelbak doesn't really market them to bikers very hard.

But let's talk about contradictions for a moment, Andrew. You're all about practicality, regardless of appearance, yet eschew the classic 3-pocket cycling jersey?! Hmmmm......

Dear Uncle Dave: What's with all this reach and stack nonsense? - May 29, 2019, 5:56 p.m.

Being an (old) engineer and physics geek, I checked this stuff out.

Genius! And extra credit for just using the word "radians" on a bike website.

Might be worth making this easily clickable on the NSMB site. Take that PB!

Caveat: I suppose somebody will prove this wrong, but it sure seems solid.

Bigger, not smaller, bikes for more aggressive riding for me.

Jenny Lewis FTW. Check out her old Rilo Kiley stuff, if you haven't already.

Yeti SB150 'Test Platform' Custom Build - May 21, 2019, 7:02 a.m.

Personally, not a fan of the bike (150 mm "Enduro" bike without adequate room for an honest 2.4 tire?!) but a huge fan of the back to back testing idea for various components. Bring it on!

REALLY interested in the slightly compliant bars (one bum hand here).

No fender for the SI, please. IIRC, when Fox and Yeti announced this concept, they showed a video of it operating while immersed in an abrasive bath for around a million hours. A real world NS test of this is called for.

AJ, you gotta poke a hole in that tire, and report back.

In the name of science, man!!!

My Three Favourite Bikes from Sea Otter - April 18, 2019, 7:06 a.m.

Ibis Bow Ti. How I lusted over these back in "the day". Drooled over one hanging from the wall in Fruita. $8,000! The shop rat said, well, if you buy this, I'm pretty sure I get the afternoon off!

Sadly, he was forced to complete his shift.

Zipp 3Zero Moto Wheels from SRAM (in the flesh) - April 17, 2019, 7:39 a.m.

Super intriguing, but so far, reviews seem mixed (PB, yeah! BikeRadar, meh).

WR1's approach of just minimizing the box section's depth may be a better approach.

Shootout needed!

My Bike: Eff this garage. Are the trails EVER going to dry up this spring?!

2019 Yeti SB150 Reviewed - April 7, 2019, 6:45 a.m.

Nice. Send that photo to Yeti, for a "favor to be named later"!

Rock Shox Introduces the Signature Series of Suspension - April 4, 2019, 9:54 p.m.

Although these will probably rock from a performance standpoint, the names remind me more than a little bit of K2 skis from the 70s.

Cheeseburger Deluxe, anybody?!
