    Build & Trips on a '12 Trek Mamba 29er

    I just picked up a set of the redesigned Kona Wah Wah flats. http://cog.konaworld.com/the-brand-new-kona-wah-wah-ii-composite-pedal-is-available-now/ Clipless vs. Flats is a personal decision. I run both, and decide based on terrain to be covered, length of the ride, and potential...

    Build & Trips on a '12 Trek Mamba 29er

    I can chime in on the King Cage USB mounts, as I've used them. As long as you have a rigid tube to mount them on, they're indistinguishable from braze-ons. A wrap or two of electrical tape will help them from marring your paint, if you give a $hit about that kind of thing. They use nylock...

    Fat bikes

    Agree. If the Q-factor doesn't bother you (it has never bothered me), a second wheelset, dropper post, fork swap, bar swap, etc., can effectively net you several different virtual bike combinations without several actual bikes in the garage. Geo notwithstanding, this makes the fatbike platform...

    After sizing up specialized's prices.....MOTOBECANE it is!

    To this, and Christophe's points: I have always felt that manufacturer-based bikes tend to be an exercise in compromise. To hit price points, some good components are typically mixed in with mid-level (or mediocre) components in pursuit of the bottom line, adding in economy-of-scale...

    Fat bikes

    Without going too much into detail, Fatbikes are generally those that can support a 4" or wider tire, typically used for flotation over soft, loose, mucky or sandy surfaces. To put that in comparison, take your average skinny-tire bike of old and double the tire width. Wider tires float over...

    The ExPo Mountain Bike Photo Thread

    Nice! I love to see old school bikes rebuilt, and yours are in great condition, it seems. I have an old mid-80's Cannondale M500 that my son and I are going to make into an electric bike project. Have fun with yours!
