Maxxis Aspen tire review
I enjoy riding fast, rolling singletrack but have no problem dialing up the tech on the steep and rooty stuff that is really common in this area. To that end, I'm always on the lookout for a fast-rolling tire that can hold its line through varying terrain. The Maxxis Aspen falls into this category and I've been running the tire for the past few months to see if it can live on the edge as a summer and fall tire.

Continental Der Kaiser Review
Here's the plan:
I am going to go out and test every downhill tire that I can get my hands on. All in search of finding a tire that outperforms my beloved Maxxis High Roller.
Will I find one? Check it out inside!

Alternative Mud Tyres - Geax Datura - Review
I have been riding around now for Geax tyres for 3 months - this is not a test, but rather an informative piece on a product that I have come to enjoy using on my bike. The Geax Datura is described as their "essential tyre choice for wet, muddy and loose conditions". It seems to have found a happy home on my DH bikes for the past 2 months as our weather has been just that quote.
Read on to hear my thoughts and first impressions of the tyre designed by Geax to help us combat the Winter blues.

Casey Groves on Geax Tires
Pinkbike.com's own Casey Groves is now on Geax tires. Casey is stoked to be joining the likes of Cam Zink on the Geax team and will be running their tires on all his Transition bikes this season. His tires of choice are the Saguaro, The Booze Lights and the DHEA, so expect to see him at various comps and riding areas representing the tire brand. Not one to keep rubber side down, Casey has already flipped and tail whipped his way to a victory at Ranch Style in Colorado, so keep your eyes peeled for him at Goat Style next month!

WTB Graffiti Tires - From pavement to hardpack.
Graffiti is something most people turn a stale eye to. The days of seeing epic murals on the side of a buildings are gone. All you see now is scribbles done by teenagers while they were just passing by. Graffiti and the streets go hand in hand, so when I saw the Graffiti UK tire by WTB I had to try them out. After receiving them and examining the Graffiti, I am stoked to see how these tires function. Designed for pavement to hardpack, and everything in between, the Graffiti UK tires are designed to be functional on all mediums.

Tires for Downhill, a Technical Article
I think tires are super important for both racing and riding around on your local trails, so I decided to write my first tech article on tires and tire selection. I try my best to get the most out of my tires and try to use the best tire for the conditions. I see so many posts on the local forums with people asking "What tire should I use?". And what about all those racers showing up to races with worn out tires that aren't intended for the course conditions. Hopefully what I've learned over the last couple years could be of some use to you.

WTB Weir Wolf Tires - Review
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?

Fresh Meat cuts from the local corner store.
Fresh Meat is always about the nice new shiny bits that we're trying out or want to show you from around the industry. But what about when we get hungry or need some stuff? Sometimes you're on a road trip and forget things, like gloves. So you go to the local bike shops and you drop your hard earned cash on parts. Here are some of the parts that I've bought on recent trips or seen and thought-hell ya I want/need that for one of my bikes or for me to make my riding more enjoyable. Have a look at the Shift Strike gloves, the Lizard Skin's Charger grips, Dakine's Cross X gloves, North Face's Jacket, Chromag's Seat Post Quick Release, Sombrio's Forensic Glove and of course my Goodyear MTR tires.

Schwalbe Big Betty tire review.
The Schwalbe tire story begins over 100 years ago and has a ton of history rooted in bicyles from the beginning. Have a look at this bit of history to learn where they came from and where they are at today.
www.schwalbetires.com/company/history
Just Freeride, no cosmetics. The large volume and HEAVY DUTY features make BIG BETTY really tough. The tread is optimized for braking performance and steering. This tire is far from heavy, making it a great all-around Freeride tire.

Kenda Blue Groove and Cortez Tire combo under the scope-Review
Tires, knobbies, rubber or treads. Whatever you want to call them, they are what give us that special connection to the dirt that we all depend on. Back in the day there were only a few different tires to choose from so it was easy, pick one and pump it up hard so you don’t pinch and you’re ready to rip. Jump forwards six or seven years and things have changed a bit. There are countless tread patterns, many different widths, a few sidewall options and on top of all that you need to pick a compound that suit’s the terrain, weather and how often you ride.
