Race Face Turbine Crankset
The Good
Easy to setup, Strong, Cinch setup for single ring, Lightweight for aluminum cranksets
The Bad
Need cassette lock ring tool for removal or chainring
Overall Review
These by far were the easiest set of cranks I have installed. The tension preload ring makes it very easy by getting rid of all spacers. The only negative I gave them is not really even a negative as it is a common tool, but you will need a cassette lockring tool. They are easy to come by, and it is used to fasten the chanring to the crank. They are pretty light for an aluminum crank and with 30t charinring and bottom bracket weighs just 673 grams. They have remained quiet for the 10 months I

Loaded Precision AMX Signature CroMo Flat Pedal
The Good
Through pin design, Thin, Good grip
The Bad
None really to be reported
Overall Review
I have had the pedals for a majority of ten months and they have been working very good for me. They spin well even with riding in the rain/much and I have done no maintenance to them what so ever. The pins screw in through the backside which help make them not back out over time, and the spindles are straight despite may rock strike encounters. They do not offer the best grip of any pedal I have ever rode, but they do well holding onto my FiveTen shoes. I recommend these as good pedal that are
Industry Nine Enduro Torch Wheelset
The Good
They look great, very strong, durable, stiff, 26mm inner width, 120 Points of engagement
The Bad
Price compared to mid level and budget wheels, proprietary spokes
Overall Review
This is the second set of Industry Nine wheels I have had, and the past seven months has been flawless. The wheels have much more lateral stiffness compared to the stock wheels that came on my Troy Carbon. The 26mm internal width is adequate, but not as wide as some of the newest offerings (I am actually perfectly fine with this). Some of the best features of any I9 wheelset is their super quick 120 POI. This can come in handy of technical climbs when you need to ratchet the cranks. The hub

2016 Intense M16 C Pro Bike
Overall Review
"The next generation of M" is the official slogan for the new Intense Carbon M16, or M16C. It's clear the latest iteration of one of the most iconic lines of Downhill bikes has stayed true to the previous generations of M-Series bikes in terms of both performance and looks. While Intense has been producing carbon bikes for some time now, this is the first time we've seen a carbon Downhill bike from the SoCal manufacturer. Cutting a dramatic amount of weight when compared to the M16A, which was

2015 Trek Session 9.9 DH 27.5 Bike
The Good
The bike as a whole is amazing. Suspension design is spectacular, soaking up everything the trail throws at you. The biggers wheels matched with suspension makes this bike the ultimate downhill machine. I found my self going faster and feeling more confident through rock gardens. Super predictable, great traction, and the cornering is unreal.
The Bad
Absolutely nothing
Overall Review
This really is the complete package. If your a serious racer this is the way to go.

Canfield AM Wheelset
The Good
Possibly the best wheels you can buy for the money. These wheels are strong and light as well as not being very expensive. The hubs are also very smooth. Great looking wheelset as well
The Bad
If you are a fan of a freehub that sounds like a chainsaw these wheels may not be for you.
Overall Review
These are great values wheels. Worth every penny

7iDP Transition SS Base Suit
Overall Review
Review by Joel Harwood // Photos by AJ Barlas 7iDP's brand name represents the foundation of the company: 7 original colleagues creating intelligent design protection. 7iDP believes that protection in mountain biking had become stagnant and brand-driven, rather than driven by design and rider needs. After two-years of development, 7iDP released the Transition Short Sleeve Base Suit with input from the Rocky Mountain – Urge Rally Team, recent Rampage winner Kurt Sorge, in addition to engineers
