What Tyler Found at Indoors - Interbike 2014
Total Chaos had their Maxxis shod Toyota Tundra in the show and we wanted to go shuttling with them. We know this isn't SEMA, but check out the FOX Racing Shox behind each wheel. This is a toy that many of us would like to get behind the wheel of rally our way to the local trail head in.
Looking for a higher end clipless XC shoe? Check out the premium all leather, carbon soled MX237 with double BOA closures from LAKE Cycling. It comes in the two colours featured (All Black and Orange/Black) and will lighten your wallet by $289 USD, but performance comes at a cost and these are nice shoes with a longer lineage of quality kicks.
It's so good to see the evolution of the bike travel case from the past decade. What we've got here is the biknd jetpack with air protection for your ride. See the yellow under the wheel closest to us? It's an inflatable donut that will help to keep outside pressures from aiding in damaging your ride. The aluminum frame base keeps the weight down significantly and adds to protecting your pride and joy too. At $450 USD you'll be able to travel with your XC, DH, FR, or Road bike and have piece of mind with it in the biknd jetpack.
Last week Kathy Pruitt took part in her 3rd ever Enduro race, the Crested Butte Ultra Enduro that was put on by Big Mountain Enduro. It was a 5 day race that saw racers in the back country for 4 of the 5 days and one day in the Evolution Bike Park. Kathy's DH skills and ability to pace herself on the transitions earned her the top spot for Pro Women. She had to leave immediately following the last stage in order to drive from Colorado to Vegas for the show, but the organizers made sure to pop by the Juliana Booth in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and present her with her earnings. Classy move BME.
While it may look like your average adult trail bike, the Ripcord from Transition Bikes is a 24" dually for all the micro trail assassins out there. Expect to see the final parts kit sporting RockShox suspension front and rear, a SRAM drive train, a Race Face cockpit and hydraulic brakes. While the spec is likely to change a bit by the time this little rocket hits bike shops, you can expect your son or daughter to be asking you to part with $1699 USD for their own fully capable trail bike.
100% has a goggle for any kit that you rock. This is the rainbow that resides within the convention centre walls. Which is your favourite colorway?
Are you that rider that likes to tinker on your bike or do you travel enough you really should have a set of tools in the car waiting for post ride repairs? Well then maybe it's time that you looked at a tool kit like the Essence kit from IceToolz. At $112 USD it's got most of your home mechanic bases covered and will likely earn you a few free beers from your buddies in the parking lot as you know they don't carry anything to repair their bikes.
Yakima Racks is celebrating their 35th anniversary of taking adventure on the road. With a motto like "Take More Friends", you know that they are all about the good times and going a little further. It's to look back at where you are from...
...and see where you are today. Things have changed, but the adventure remains.
Everyone is a winner in Vegas. Check out this cool bike the Bolle had set up at their booth called the Sit and Spin - Roulette. Hop on, give it a pedal and place your bet! You could take home shades, shirts, hats, socks or gloves.
Meet the Back on Track boxers that are said to aid in blood circulation. Think about this guys, you could be wearing underwear that promotes additional blood flow. We see many enhancements both inside and outside of cycling for this product. It's all in the weave of this Ceramic Textile material used in the boxer's fabric. While they offer a wide range of items, we really think that us cyclists could benefit from some fresh underwear that helps with blood flow.
Wow it would appear that someone has actually taken the FUNN out of mountain biking...
Stay tuned for more from Interbike 2014.

write up and images of the truck
right there with ya! If only it were that dark red/maroon color Subaru used it would be perfect.
In Australia, the truck to have is a a href="http://www.toyota.com.au/landcruiser-70-series/specifications/troop-carrier-gxl">Landcruiser Troopcarrier/a>, or 'Troopy', as seen in Cairns. This is no compromise vehicle, this is a serious truck, solid as a mofo. It's the only vehicle you'll ever see Aborigines using in remote bush, the desert, where reliability means life or death. I grew up in them, they'll do a million k's on unsealed roads without issue, so long as they're regularly maintained. The 4.5L intercooled turbo diesel V8 has awesome low down power, heaps of torque, and will do 200 kph, though I wouldn't recommend it. Also sips the juice, gets great mileage, around 11.5L per 100 k's, less when highway cruising. The Troopy can seat eleven people, plus bikes, and you can fold up the back seats or take them out altogether and sleep in it, or use it to cart furniture, or whatever you want.
Wouldn't this be an issue for the inflatable donut protection? Just curious.
As to bleeding air from tires/shocks, as the outside pressure drops the inside pressure effectively increases as it pushes against the weaker pressure. You can see this effect in reverse if you close an empty plastic water bottle at altitude in a plane, and then watch it get crushed as you descend to land. You can also see this in areas with cold winter climates, seal a bottle inside a warm house then take it outside and it'll crush itself in a matter of seconds.
Best internet comment of the day!
