24 Bikes of the Enduro World Series
Great article. Screw the wheel size, those are some pretty rigs, and some talented riders. Can't wait for the results to be posted.

24 Bikes of the Enduro World Series
Some look weirder than others. I'm riding a 27.5 this season, and as yet not one person has noticed the bigger wheels on a trail. Guess it depends on the bike and the proportions. 29ers are pretty easy to spot though.

A Little Paradise: Queenstown
I think he was talking more about all the adventure sports that you can do in QT, including things like Fly By Wire that you can't do anywhere else in the world. At least, that's how I read it - and that's all well and good, but those activities are spendy. I always joke when I get to Queenstown that if you listen hard, you can hear your money evaporating. You can have a lot of fun in either place, but in both cases you have to be prepared to bring your wallet.

A Little Paradise: Queenstown
Heading home to NZ next March. I've spent a bunch of time (and a bunch of money, ha!) in Queenstown over the years, and I was going to limit my time there this trip. I think I just changed my mind. Those tracks look way too epic to pass up.

Pinkbike Poll: Electronic Components
Half the time I never even remember to lock out my fork or drop my seat when I'm riding. What would I do with all this stuff?
It's bad enough that I can barely find a stick shift car any more. I want to drive, not steer. Same thing with my biking ...

First Look: Giant's 27.5" Prototypes
I was talking to a bike shop guy at the end of last year, and he said that given Giant hadn't made any structural changes to the 2013 Trance he was betting there was a 650B Trance in the works for 2014. Looks like he was right.

Aotearoa - New Zealand Road Trip Part 1 - South Island
I miss Speights. And I am bummed that I didn't discover mountain biking until I came to Canada - because that looks amazing. I need to do some exploring when I go home next March ...

To the Point: Chain Lube
Kero is great. When I raced for skating we cleaned all our wheel bearings in kero, and they ran smooth, quiet and super fast. I haven't been able to find any where I live now, or I'd use it for sure.
