It's been an exciting wait, I have never been so eager to go anywhere in my life. All last night I packed, got all of my bike gear ready to go and went to sleep. Although, it is not very easy to sleep when you are excited for the next day to come. It's like waiting on Christmas, only better!

I'm heading to California with Carl from Transition bikes and we'll be keeping you posted all week:

November 21, 2008 - Submitted by kakah
Trek's Remedy 6" travel platform uses some new and unique features to hopefully move it ahead of the pack in the All-Mountain category. Having spent a few days on one I knew it would be the perfect candidate to build up my dream mid-travel ripper. 6 months later and I have a pretty good impression of how the bike performs and its distinct ABP pivot and FullFloater suspension system, as well as the trick E2 head tube.

Read about my build and how the bike performed....

Warning to all FOX Racing Shox Users and Customers


November 20, 2008 - Submitted by brule

It has come to the attention of FOX Racing Shox that certain individuals and / or entities are modifying FOX forks to accommodate mountain bike wheel sizes other than those having 26 inch nominal diameter. One such modification includes removing material from the lower leg cross bridge in order to fit a 29 inch tire in the fork. Such modification will ultimately separate the lower fork legs at the cross bridge (i.e. the weakened cross bridge will fracture) and may cause bicycle instability and crash that result in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WTB created the Weir Wolf tire for “Mr. All Mountain” Mark Weir. A man who actually enjoys grueling all mountain events like the Downieville DH (a 15 mile downhill with a 4000' descent) and the Hell Ride (a six to eight hour event, covering 60-80 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing). So how does a tire that's designed by some one so crazy hold up for the average Joe?

After a small success with our small film-project "Straight outta Sweden" last year, the decision was to try and make a follow-up and to also try to take the filming a bit more serious.

The result is now here in the form of: "Straight outta Sweden 2 - In it 2 win it". The film features mainly Swedish riders & the Swedish-scene and it is an attempt to get some recognition for some of the Swedish-talent.

There's no denying that wheels are perhaps the most important component on any bike, they keep you rolling and take all the abuse that you hammer at them and any failure here can make for big crashes or a long walk home a real possibility.

Being stuck in an office with two guys staring at computers for 12 hours a day for 4 months can really start to wear on you. Jamie Houssian and Darren McCullough had certainly not been ideal co-workers. When I first talked to Donny about running his premiere tour for The Collective's new film “Seasons”, I thought to myself, this is going to be great - working with a couple of bros, going for coffee and lunch, beers after work - I was stoked. Man was I wrong. Maybe I didn't realize what goes into editing a mountain bike film, but I ended up working with the likes of a couple of suits downtown trying to “make it”. Crazy hours, limited convo, heated film debates, and a general lack of mountain cycling.
