My reviews on bikes and parts.
The 2009 Intense Uzzi now carries the sames design ques as the new 2009 Intense Tracer with curved lines and adjustable suspension travel settings, but that is not all that is new with this redesigned bike out of Intense Cycles.
But it was late November, hunters still a week away didn’t pose any real danger now. Tom started slowly to reel in track on his wheel. The area looked different than he was used to. Autumn grabbed whole area into it’s hands, turning green into brown and hiding trails from the eye under deep layer of fallen leaves.
A really good set of glasses is a must while riding a mountain bike. Dirt and debris are constantly trying to make their way to those precious white balls that allow us to ride the trails we love. In my case, they also provide protection for my contacts that make seeing the trail possible.
Mountain Cycle is not new to the bike industry. For newer riders, this may be the first you have heard of Mountain Cycle, but for those of us that have been around since the late 80’s/early 90’s…Mountain Cycle used to be a household name that graced the cover of magazines worldwide.
I’ve been bobbing and weaving through the woods on a mountain bike long enough to know that wearing a good set of glasses is pretty smart. Glasses can be a bit of a pain to deal with while trail riding. Trying not to forget them on the side of the trail is one thing. Then there is the fogging issue. On top of that is the helmet/glasses fit.
Cane Creek set over one of their new 100 headsets for review this week. I have been a long time fan of high end headsets for a long time (I currently run the 110 from Cane Creek on my Ventana and I also have some Chris King’s in the quiver), so getting in a new set from Cane Creek is exciting.
I have been looking for ways to increase functionality and usefulness of the site, and I concluded that video would be the best way to bring more interesting content to you guys. The idea is to have video footage of all of the product reviews and incorporate it into as many of the riding and maintenance tips as we can.
This week, I received a box of Kenda tires to review. Kenda is known for their signature series line of tires designed by some of mountain biking’s legends. So which mountain bike tires from Kenda came in by box?
After some saddle time on the new 20mm thru axle Rock Shox Reba Team, I thought it was time for an update on how things are going. The overall stiffness of the Rock Shox Reba 20mm thru axle is much better than previous models.
Ergon did what their name implies when they designed the shape of the GE-1; the diameter mid-grip is slightly larger than the inner and outer diameters. Unlike the rest of the Ergon grip line, the GE-1’s do not have a support platform or built-in bar ends.
