Ideas for Different Races

For those looking for a little more adventure in their racing, here are a couple of links to a downhill race in Chile.

Updates to Our Sponsors

The blog has been in hibernation for a few months, but people are starting to think about the bikes again. John and I will be trying to update the look of the site over the next few weeks.

I have updated the sponsors for the upcoming year. Take a look at the new links. We will be working on displaying the sponsors more prominently.

We have talked with Annette at Mountain Moon Photography. Many of you have already seen the photos she took last season. She will be providing photos this upcoming season. We will add an easy link on the blog to access her site.

Give Me Shelter

For those of you running carbon rigs I saw this over on Velonews to protect the down tube from all the rock splatter. I know some of us looked at the Gary Fisher Superfly's last year, that Feedback Sports were riding and be the end of summer they were looking pretty beaten.

Unfortunately, running a carbon rig is still a dream for me!

New Jesse Crock Web Site

With Christmas coming up quickly, now is a good time to check out fellow Wheelmen, Jesse Crock's new website and pick up some great artwork.

Maybe we should commission Golden Wheelmen Helmets!

Good Article About 29er's

Singletrack.com has a good (well I think it is good) article comparing 26 inch bikes to 29er's. When I say good, it is without a lot of the hype, etc and seems pretty unbiased.

Check it out.

PS: When it comes down to it, the motor is probably still the most important part!
