Mountain Biker Passes Away on Vancouver Island Trails
@shinook: my dad died from a stroke. It was preventable according to his doctor. He didn't go for a physical ever. The only doctors visits were to sew things back on if the tape wasn't enough. I get screened once a year. I'm 39, dad died at 66. My kids won't know him. I hope Jerry lived, it sounds like he did. Tomorrow is not a promise.

Review: The 2020 Santa Cruz Hightower Gets a New Look & More Travel
My coiled up lyrik wearing aluminum smash is 33lbs. My only complaint is I don’t ride as often as I’d like too! Even the new gg bikes are only 1/2 pound lighter. I don’t race anyone but myself and the comfort and stability of the downhill are well worth a few pounds. My 55 pound daughter rides a bike that weighs 24 pounds. With a basket on the front full of stuff. With a big smile. All day. I bet this bike is a hoot. Get stronger and stop worrying about how much your bike weighs.

Guerrilla Gravity is doing it! Domestic manufacturing is possible! We are One composites too. I know next to nothing about the complexities of carbon fiber manufacturing or the politics of the industry. But it is possible to do in North America. Their prices aren’t outrageous, and they are helping eliminate the massive expense of transporting materials all over the world. Keep it “local”! @vp27:

First Ride: Zipp Enters the Mountain Bike World With New 3Zero Moto Carbon Wheels
Maybe I'm not sensitive enough. ASK my wife.... To feel the difference in a set of wheels. Except for rim width and shit spoke tension, I'm pretty oblivious.
