Winter Gear: RaceFace Soft Goods
NSMB.com: Gear &bull Feb 5, 2012
When news of RaceFace's demise reached the public, a common reaction other than disbelief and shock was the recall of our favourite pieces of RF gear from years gone by. For many of us, that meant one of the cranksets that helped establish RaceFace in the first place, but our bulletin boards were also full of great comments about the other legendary components this company had brought us over the years: bars, stems, BBs, posts. Forgotten in all of that, though, is the solid collection of soft goods that RaceFace has been producing since they acquired another classic Canadian brand,… Full Story »

Making the mini mine

661 Mini Downhill Forest of Dean
Pinkbike.com &bull Feb 4, 2012
Joe Scutt661 Mini Downhill, Forest of Dean. January 2012.Race Director Chris Roberts pulled out all the stops to put on another winter mini downhill race here in the U.K. Winter racing at this time of year puts hairs on your chest, 06:00 alarm clocks, scraping ice from outside and inside the van windscreen, driving along frosty and icy country roads, all in the dark i'm afraid. Then once trackside mother nature is still punching low blows at you as… Full Story »

Mud-Lukking
Guitar Ted Productions &bull Feb 2, 2012
I knew that the fog would burn off sooner than later, and maybe I should go for that long needed long gravel grinder ride. But you know, I had some "clerical-office type" stuff to take care of. So......I buttoned down and got it done. It took a fair amount of time, so I had to re-think my ride options. My Post-Modern, Industrial Snow Bike Composition. Well, I still could get out a do some gravel, but I hadn't ridden By-Tor The Titanium Mukluk in a while, so I got it out and… Full Story »

The Good Kind Of Problem
Salsa Cycles &bull Jan 30, 2012
This evening, I stood atop an awkward stepped chute with an annoying left-hand turn half way down. It wasn't too steep, and it wasn't too long, but I just couldn't figure out how to navigate my way through it. After a half dozen failed attempts, I found myself back up at the top with a new strategy. A noisy scrub jay flew overhead and… Full Story »

Biking the Himalayas with Sacred Rides
Pinkbike.com &bull Jan 29, 2012
There is a point in most plane rides when the engines ease off on the RPM, a mechanical sigh of relief as the plane goes from taking off to cruising. But it doesn't happen on the flight from Pokhora to Jomsom. With the Himalayan landing strip two kilometres higher than Pokhara, the 20-minute flight never really leaves take-off mode. The trip would be just 60 kilometres as the crow flies, if crows could fly over 8,000-metre mountains. Planes can't either, which means the flight doglegs west to fly up the Khali Gandaki Gorge. You can see the seventh and tenth-highest… Full Story »

Long Term Review: 2012 Norco Truax Two
NSMB.com: Gear &bull Jan 29, 2012
I have to preface this review with an admission: I'm a bit of a gear snob. Acutely and perhaps irrationally critical of brand and image with a seriously skewed preference for the esoteric. It's a weakness. My perception of Norco as a brand was forged many years ago by a succession of aesthetically and sometimes technically challenged bikes. I had always recognized the good value and homegrown attributes of the company, but they never coalesced into desirability for me. When I was offered an opportunity to try the new Truax I was, at first, a bit hesitant. A quick search… Full Story »

Gettin' It While I Can
Guitar Ted Productions &bull Jan 29, 2012
Along The Cedar River Saturday was beautiful out, and before all of our snow gets roached by the Sun, I decided to head over East of my casa to check out my typical winter riding hangouts. One of the reasons I wanted to get Big Fat Larrys was to get the little bit of extra float that they might provide over the 3.8"ers I used on this bike last year. I knew that over the years a lot of snowmobile traffic goes… Full Story »
