Leave the city
Up in Alaska &bull Mar 8, 2010
Magnolia Electric Co., "Leave the City" I'll never forget my first few moments in Juneau, as I stepped off the ferry into a cold, black, startlingly empty summer night. It was July 2003. I wasn't an Alaska resident yet; I was a tourist, one of four friends spending an entire summer coaxing a sputtering Ford Econoline van around the 49th state. We left the van and our bikes in Haines. The ferry landed just before midnight. No one told us the terminal was 14 miles out of town. We stood in the dark with our overstuffed backpacks, somewhat stupefied by… Full Story »

Experimenting: The Good And The Bad
Guitar Ted Productions &bull Mar 5, 2010

The ride in was punctuated by an axle slippage causing a bit of a mechanical session alongside Highway 63. Good thing I had the ol' Jethro Tool… Full Story »

Amazing Spokeless Bike Built as Student Project - Wired News
Google Cycling news &bull Feb 18, 2010
The students concentrated on the rear wheel, for reasons of both time and money. The back wheel is where all the work goes on anyway, so if it worked, then the front wheel would be easy. The back wheel is machined in standard 26-inch size so a stock tire would fit, and inside it you see a belt drive, usually used to replace a chain. The weirdest aspect is that double-crank… Full Story »

It's All About "Trail": A Look At Recent Changes In 29er Geometry
Twenty Nine Inches &bull Feb 16, 2010
Recently in the comments section from the post, A Historical Perspective: An Editorial, I was asked to comment on the following statement: please talk about how "standard" 29r geometry has changed in the last 4 years and the effect 29r specific forks have had. This is an important point to understand concerning 29ers. I felt it was a serious enough subject that I conducted my own fork offset/axle to crown tests in 2008. It is a subject which has far reaching impact and still confuses riders up to the present day. This will be a brief look at where 29ers… Full Story »

Digger is Back
NSMB.com: Home Page &bull Feb 15, 2010
It was a long break. Todd 'Digger' Fiander hadn't been maintaining his trails for three years. There were some knee issues that required surgeries and the need to make some real money operating his concrete business, but other factors kept Digger off the mountain as well. The District of North Vancouver hasn't been happy with his need to build on his own terms and as a result he has been threatened, scolded and shunned by DNV Parks for years. At least that's the way he tells it. I was hiking Fromme one Sunday afternoon when James Wilson and I stumbled… Full Story »
