I like flow, never seen it I just like the name
Which mainstream mag do you prefer?
- Thread starter Ridemonkey
- Start date
flow fo sho, have you ridden some of there interviews with pro riders? there hella fun to read, they actually talk to the rider, not just talk. flow has some good pics too.
:nuts: Dirt Rag Knows where to hit all the other mags.! I like the unbiased reviews and downhome stories they publish. Dirt Rag has a way of keeping it real and remembering "the mountain biker" rather than selling out to the man (big advertisers)
flow is the shiz-nit!. there's another rag coming outa Canuk-land called 180 that looks promising.
The best mags are the British ones: Singletrack, MBUK, WhatMountainBike? and Dirt.
dirt, flow, 180, launchMTB, and the occasional bmx mag to get me pumped.
everythin else aint that great.

The UK rags are the best! The write well, have great layouts, are bundled and usually include cool free stuff....and maps!
...plus they say "mechs"
That'll show them frenchies

I bought my first issue of Dirt Rag. With the review of the Surly frame tested in tons of different configurations.
I have to say I was not overly impressed. Actually I find MBA a better over all read than DR. I guess I didn't get what was so special. It seemed put together poorly and the format just didn't sit right with me...........I can't really explain it. I tried reading it from the back forward (don't ask me why but I do that) Was dissapointed. Then I read from the front to back and was left feeling I was cheated out of my money.....
What was I missing?
I don't see myself picking up another one on a whim unless they have reviewed something I am interested in 'and' NOTHING ELSE is available.
It just seemed thrown together. I am sure people worked hard on it but the product just didn't win me over in the least.
I must just be uncool.

im to poor to buy these mags
Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted here, even though I didn't post much anyways. I agree, my favorite is Velonews, however out of the ones listed I like Mountain Bike Action because it's the only one sold around here, of course I haven't looked that well either.
dirt rag
I dont even buy the mags anymore. Bike mag used to get me pumped for riding but it has turned into poo in the past 2 years. All I do now is buy all the videos that come out, real people, real personalities, real riding. You cant beat that!
"Dirt Rag" for the dirt and "Velo News" for the Road. Well, I guess "Bike" is ok. I read it too. It gots nice pictures.
I like to look at Bike because of the great pictures.
bike does have great pictures... but I have never seen FLOW anywhere to buy or subscribe, I could do it online but I rather read one first.
Very true, by that rationale 180 will become an awesome mag if it just got some more support. The guys here in Santa Cruz from 180 are really cool and hardworking, they deserve more support!
Dirt Rag is another sweet rag...

mountain bike
Dirt is the best cuz it has no xc
I enjoy Bike, but I have noticed it is getting thinner and thinner over the years. The article are starting to lose.
My fav would be Dirt (uk) covers a tonne of stuff.
Flow was pretty good, not sure what is going on now. I heared half the staff left and has started another mag. Rumor.
All bike porn is good, during the winter months. They give you something to dream about.

Decline and Twenty Six kick ass.
Flow just got a new editor and it will be back soon. Decline and 26 are made by the previous staff of flow.Originally posted by Calma

I like Mbr uk... that mag has always nice tests.And reviews from products. Mbaction is also good. Never had the change to read Dirtrag, but i have heard it is very good, because it has no xc in it.
And 02bikers, a belgium magazine.I had a prescription for a long a time on that mag.
Aswell the german bikemags, like bike and Mountainbike.
Cause they are very thick, and packed with the latest news and storys.And nice test from bikes and stuff.
I usely buy them @the bookstore.

MB Action is like Fox News.I don't read mtn biking mags anymore.
I just read ridemonkey and pinkbike nowadays.
I just bought flow at a grocery store! Out of business?
Flow rocks
180 is pretty good
DECLINE is cool, who saw the 85 foot booter?

Flow, Decline, TwentySix
Since I'm on a tight budget, MBA is good since there are alot of ads from Jenson, PricePoint, Superblow etc. As far as actual reading, I'll pick up Dirt Rag every now and again.
The next greatest magazine should be "BIKE NAKED!!" a collection of the hottest women in the saddle.
stupid poll
bike is my choice
Bike is nice as well, I love their photos!
Mountain Bike Action and Decline... I like big glossy pages... but I also like riding tip sections so I also read a coupla BMX mags... BMX plus is my fav...
My all time fav is Mountain Bike Rider, a UK mag, but it's getting hard to find at the local Borders. I thought it was monthly, but it's been two months since the last issue.
They do a great job of comparing several products head to head in each issue, no just one product on its own.
