    Tubeless on the road!

    My experience is that Shimano has horrible support for its wheels. As a buyer for a large shop I could stand working with them. Its interesting that Hutchison continued on with tubeless road after Mavic and Michelin stopped or at least slowed down their work on it. In early 2006 it was...

    New offerings from Trek and C'dale

    I don't really see anything new in the madone. Look already has a fork that doesn't use a bearing race and Gary Klein did the the tapered steer tube in 1993. Hell the fork that has been coming on the madones since their launch was mostly a 10 yr old Klein design. I can't believe they are even...

    Firestone this weekend

    I had a good time this weekend and it was the first National type mtn bike race I've been to since the late 90's. Its also the first mtn bike race I've been to that wasn't held at a ski resort. It was so dusty I couldn't imagine racing and camping out. I didn't see the showers though so if they...

    Rangel wants to bring back the draft...

    I've always thought that we need some type of military/civil services draft. I think it would help most people to spend 2 years before college or a ****ty job teaching inner city kids, doing trail work in a NP, guarding the boarder, or creating terrorist in Iraq. Its not like you know what you...

    Downhill race in a subway

    That would be awesome in some of the subway stations in Prague because of how long and steep the stairs are. The Porter Sq T stop seems like the only one that would be good for this.

    Toys For Tots Rejects Jesus Doll

    I don't think many kids would find a doll of a 2000 yr old gay hippy all that fun.

    Eventually...

    One thing I don't get is why the Iraqi Army and Police personnel are all stationed in or near their home town. It seems less of this **** would happen if they moved people all over like most western armies do. Bring people together that don't know each other, tear them down individually, and...

    Outdoor stores in Thousand Oaks area?

    Thanks for the reply. I went to the Borealis store and they were very helpful. A cute women there helped me get some new boots, told me of places to go, and set me up with a schedule of some upcoming events. The service you get at independent stores like that make any difference in prices worth it.

    Rayburm , Milbury Mass.

    Think those are the trails I use to ride all the time since they were close to my house in Grafton. Use to start the loop at the Buck Brothers buildings. People use to mark alot of the corners with reflective tape on paper plates so you could keep up your speed for night riding.
