26″ ain’t dead yet — at least in the world of pump tracks and dirt jump parks. Speak with any marketing manager at a US bike company and you’ll find it doesn’t sell well, and the market for the OG MTB wheel size is limited to MTB freestyle and slopestyle bikes and the occasional repair […]

Review: TOGS Flex MTB Thumbgrips

by

TOGS Thumbgrips are intended to enhance comfort on long rides by facilitating an additional hand position on flat and riders bars.
