    Steel is Real...

    Rusty! Moving some stuff around in the garage and found this on the seatstay of my SSCX bike. Sad, but completely my fault as this thing was quite literally rode hard and put away wet; the final CX race of the season had us pedaling in a downpour through a short section that was flooded over...

    Pickups and Bikes

    I may be buying a pickup this weekend. What should I be considering for transporting bikes that I don't want to just throw in the back? I've seen the racks that mount to the bed rails, and the tailgate pads for the wheel-over the gate method. Both seem to have pros and cons in price, simplicity...

    Socially Distanced Hobbies

    Noob Advice

    While out riding this past weekend, I came across a rather tricky bit of off-camber, rocky/rooty descent. After cleaning it with no problems, I got to thinking about how much trouble I used to have with stuff like that, and thought "if only I knew then, what I know now;" it wasn't until I...

    Drop the big ring?

    I recently bought my first geared bike (Yeti sb66) in 10 years. This thing has miles of chain and I had forgotten how noisy a multi-geared drive-train can be. The bike is a 3x10 with a mix of SRAM x7 and x9 bits. I think I want to drop the big ring off the bike; I'm not using it where I ride and...

    For the DFH Fanatics

    It seems that there are a lot Dog Fish Head fanatics out there. Some that will drink and rave about whatever they put in a bottle. Sam could sell bottles of spit and people would probably line up to buy it. I guess we'll see: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/09/dining/09beer.html?ref=style :)
