Ever wonder what emtbs on the World Cup circuit weigh? It might surprise you.

My wife and I will be travelling overseas (Japan) soon and we plan on each bringing a carbon analog bike along with us as checked baggage. These are bikes that we've had for a few years but don't get ridden very often. The bikes will remain in Japan on a permanent basis for future potential...

Gordon Lightfoot, adored by many who grew up listening to many of his classic ballads, passed away at the age of 84 in Toronto. May he rest in peace. https://globalnews.ca/news/9666369/gordon-lightfoot-dead-obit/

I recently swapped my tubed 45nrth studded tires on my fat bike over to a set of 3.8” Maxxis Minions and found the seal on the Wrathchilds to be too firmly seated to the wheel rims to be removed by hand strength alone. I also found it far more difficult with the much beefier 4.5” tires as they...

With many going the tubeless route, I wanted to garner opinions from members about tubeless repair kits specifically those that employ plugs. Has anyone performed a field repair using one of these plug kits and if so, what was the outcome? If not, which one(s) do you currently bring with you on...

The bike show is coming to Calgary next month. There should be a decent lineup of manufacturer’s e-models to demo. https://abbikeshow.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAutyfBhCMARIsAMgcRJQuGKLDeGNIBoVEZtfzk2g8Lt_4TiaAS-O7diPACC3svPiJTlRok7MaApl5EALw_wcB

https://routewerks.us/products/the-handlebar-bag We recently took delivery of a pair of handlebar bags that we plan to use on a multi-day cycling trip later in the season to the West Coast as well as on future extended rides. Our needs were specific and the goal was to find a relatively compact...

I’m looking for input on winter ski/snowboard helmets with integrated visors. There are a number of versions being sold (Uvec, Atomic, Rossignol, Bolle…to name a few) but I would like to hear of anyone who has used one in the past or has considered purchasing one for either winter cycling...

I did a bit of trail riding last night and had a blast. I can say that, without a doubt, that it undeniably helps to have a decent light system and that along with my frequent use of this particular single track made the ride less intimidating.

....and lives to tell about it. 😲

I was in need of a convenient location where I could gain access to my phone cam during rides without removing my Osprey hydration pack and decided that its shoulder strap could be an ideal spot. I found a holster case that seemed to check off all of the boxes on my list. The Nite Ize Sideways...

If anyone has ever broken the mounting tabs off their Garmin Edge a solution is only a click away. I had my Edge 520 attached to an out-front mount and had an unfortunate encounter with a tree during a spill. It wasn’t until I returned home that I noticed that the GPS was clinging on by only one...

More urban DH action in Columbia. It doesn't get any more grass roots than this.

I added one of these to my kit bag. It’s a compact set of multi-link pliers which also holds a spare link and does double duty as tire levers. https://www.granite-design.com/talon...

I recently attached a Timber Bell to the Trance’s bar and it appears to work quite well at providing plenty of advance notice to walkers and slower cyclists. I’ve received quite a few thumbs ups for its clear ring from those who I’ve passed along the trails. https://www.mtbbell.com/
