Tech Tuesday - Finding and Fixing that Creak
There is a product called "Gun Tite" it is made by Loctite and is a very mild blue version used for misc. screws on guns. Works very well for chain ring bolts. It has given me no issues on any style chainring bolt.

Reality Redesigned: R2
Belts drive are pretty sweet. They have one weak point though. When a big rider gets on them and really starts cranking uphill, often the frame will tweak just enough for the belt to slip and possibly come off. I believe the Derailleur(s) could use some help.

Pinkbike First Look: Acros A-GE Hydraulic Shifting
I have been wondering when something like this was going to hit the market. without a doubt it has a great design and i'm sure it works like butter.... but when your derailleur setup cost is more than a pair of FOX 40's??? Wow.. i think we all may just wait a couple years until the price comes down.

Diamondback's Prototype DH Race Bike
Diamondback has somewhat of a bad rap for bikes..... everybody seems to think that they are crap walmart bikes.. most of their bikes are in the $300-$400 range (most of us spend more than that on a good crank) but the sortie and mission line of bikes is without a doubt nothing to blink an eye at. The mission frames are bulletproof. You can probably expect Saint components when the DH hits the market and count on it costing $6000 or more. Diamondback is simply trying to expand to every corner of the market that they can.
