On a 29mm rim, it's roughly 65mm wide and 60mm tall. Keep in mind I said roughly, this was eyeballed with a ruler and not measured with calipers.

In a Dirt interview w/ Martin Whiteley, Whiteley pretty much said the UCI doesn't want to standardize MTB and have a commissaire standing at the finish line with a tape measure checking every bike. This was in regard to when Gary Fisher first proposed ... more »

Ben Walker (of Scott Bikes) has a 29" Gambler, so maybe we'll see some under the team at Ft. Bill? Here's what he posted up on ridemonkey regarding the bike: "I have one and it's real fast. My butt touches my rear tire sometimes and it's terrifying ... more »

From this interview w/ Rob Roskopp from Dirt (FF to 13:32): https://youtu.be/Fqly5V8CDXc

Interesting post by Loic Bruni (and a few comments from other elites in the comments): "Normally they Are amazing but after yesterday I can't swallow the taste of that day : Thanks for ruining our first race with keeping the schedule even though we knew ... more »

I think you need tighter fitting riding shorts. I've never seen the point of traction bumps on the top of the saddle. Sure, a lot of riders sit down mid race run to save some energy (even the WC guys), but I've never really thought those saddles were ... more »

Interesting that one of the complaints of the WC last year was straight, wide-open, high-speed sections (I'm remembering this correctly, right?) and one of the most known "long bike" hold-outs was Bryceland, who bowed out of full-time racing. I'm personally ... more »

I'm confused...You need a SRAM derailleur but can't seem to find one? Here's a link to an X9 rear derailleur: http://www.jensonusa.com/Derailleurs/SRAM-X9-9-Speed-Rear-Derailleur

Ask him nicely for a refund and offer to return the brakes because he misrepresented the brakes in the ad. If he doesn't respond or comes back saying you're in the wrong, not him, hopefully you paid with PP or credit and can contest the payment. Maybe ... more »

Should I down this Sausage Burrito before or after my workout!? Probably good for a few more hours... haha!
