First Ride: Reserve 30|HD Carbon Wheels Can Take Serious Hits

They are probably great wheels. But, at ~$1600 more than the 10 year old, 10,000 mile, still running perfectly, aluminum wheels that weigh almost exactly the same, currently on my prime bike, I don't think I will be flexing the credit card any time soon.

Stan’s Announces Wheels With New M-Pulse Hubs

Pretty sure I have never seen anyone win a bike race because his / her hubs coasted better than the competition. The marketing hype knows no bounds.

Field Test: 6 Trail Bikes & 6 Downcountry Bikes vs. The Impossible Climb

How to torpedo your own bike review. You put less-grippy tire on some of the bikes and then complain that the bikes with the less grippy tires don't climb as well as the bikes with the grippier tires. Huh?

Interview: Martin Maes - "I'm Not Guilty... I Just Made a Stupid Mistake"

Out of range of the internet? WTF? In the post Armstrong world of testing athletes for drug use why don’t each and every rider carry a list of prohibited substances in a file on their phone?

Interview: Martin Maes - "I'm Not Guilty... I Just Made a Stupid Mistake"

I get tired if the, “I didn’t do anything wrong. All I did was make a mistake” excuse. He may not have done it intentionally, but he still did it. We wouldn’t excuse him if he accidentally cut some corners on a race course. I don’t see any reason to excuse the use of banned substances just because it was done accidentally. The good news is that he kept the leg and can race later in the year.

Interview: Jared Graves Comments on Failed Drug Test

What is the difference between "accidentally" using a banned substance, and accidentally cutting the course, or accidentally using a motor?

Frostbike 2018: New Tires, Shoes, and Sealant

I found a great sealant. It is called Tubes. Put one in each tire. Weighs about the same as slime, Don't need a compressor to mount. Doesn't go dry. Doesn't freeze in the cold. Pressure can be topped up with a simple hand pump. Great product.
