Gloves with knuckle protection are never a bad idea when you combine high speed, wide handlebars and narrow sections of trail. However, most DH/ FR gloves I’ve run really haven’t been my favorite gloves. Although the protection is a great idea, out of the gaggle of gloves I own, only one or two get to […]
Troy Lee Ace Gloves bring the glam to dirty girls
Some women say diamonds are a girls best friend, and I am going to have to agree – especially when they are on my MTB gloves (as rhinestone accents). I love the idea of bringing together a little glam to such a dirty and mostly male dominated sport. This is just another way for the […]
SF Bike Expo: Pedal Savvy Fashion Show
It used to be that if you were planning to ride around town on the bike, you were limited to your regular clothes or mountain biking clothing. Or maybe you’re one of those people: dressed in spandex (when you probably shouldn’t be dressed in skin tight clothing) with horrible neon windbreakers that were extremely noticeable, but […]
Review – Levi’s 511 Commuter Jeans
Packed with features, Levi’s initial foray into the cycling market packs a ton of value into a jean that only a corporate behemoth like Levi’s can at an incredible price point. A cycling friendly cut, reinforced crotch, zippered back pocket and u-lock holder show that someone at Levi’s definitely rides, or they had one hell […]
Fresh Gear: Levi’s 511 Skinny Commuter
Fixed-gear bikes have been around for years, and remain one of the most easily accessible cycling experiences to new urban cyclists due to their low cost of entry. Like single speed mountain bikes, purists love them for their simplicity, if not the hipster stigma that comes with it. Like them or not, they are practical, […]
Gear check: Bern Watts EPS Helmet
Some days you don’t want to load the car with two different helmets when just one will do the job. These are the days I reach for the Watts helmet from Bern. A dirt jump helmet offers a significant amount of protection over a standard trail lid, and although there is a weight penalty, being […]
2010 Giro Remedy CF full face helmet and Giro Station MTB Goggles
I recently received a 2010 Giro Remedy carbon fiber full face helmet for testing. Carbon fiber full face- the stuff the racer boys dream of! Normally I don’t pop for the carbon fiber helmets, simply because I seem to destroy all my favorite gear. Coming from a motorcycle approved, DOT full face helmet, the typical mountain […]
Fresh Gear: Giro Remedy CF Full Face Helmet, SDG saddle and post
The UPS man recently delivered some fresh new gear in for testing: a SDG Formula MT iBeam saddle and carbon post, and Giro Remedy CF full face helmet and goggles. The plan is to install and utilize the goods on my long term Trek Session 88 test sled, ride the best trails the Pacific Northwest […]
Mace Gear Round-up
Product from Mace isn’t as easily available in the states as it should be. They make a some solid product, and it is very reasonably priced. Yet another import from our Canadian friends from the north, I’ve been beating on a full kit for the last year. I’m happy to report that their gear has […]
